Holy crap....lol. After last nights game I was thinking the same exact thing and was going to post but fell asleep.
He has 12-18 inches on Lenzelle, I believe, but his defense, timely 3's and even his playing posture, how he moves and manner in which he applies pressure on the perimeter reminds me a lot of Smith.
That's funny.

ANDRE WESSON, OHIO STATE BENCH GIVING BUCKEYES A BOOST DURING WINNING STREAK

During Ohio State's current eight-game winning streak, it has been easy to see why the Buckeyes are successful.
Leadership both on and off the court from Keita Bates-Diop and Jae'Sean Tate, combined with timely shooting from C.J. Jackson, has helped Ohio State to the top of the Big Ten standings, along with an improved post presence from freshman Kaleb Wesson.
However, while Ohio State's starting lineup is without question carrying Chris Holtmann's squad through the 2017-18 season, it has been the play of the other Wesson brother that has stood out in recent weeks.
Sophomore Andre Wesson, who missed the majority of summer workouts with an undisclosed illness, has given the Buckeyes a spark off the bench during Ohio State's current win streak. While his impact might not show up on the stat sheet – Wesson averages just 2.3 points per game – Holtmann said following a 64-59 win over Nebraska that he has been thrilled with Andre Wesson's play over the course of the last few games.
"Outstanding," Holtmann said when asked about Andre Wesson's play during the win streak. "He has really been good for us. I have probably not made mention of that enough. He has really been good for us in this stretch. He hasn't turned it over like he was earlier in the year, and has made really sound plays and moved the ball."
For reference, Wesson committed 16 turnovers in Ohio State's 13 conference games despite playing less than 15 minutes per game. In Big Ten play, however, Wesson has committed just eight turnovers, and helped force a critical one in Ohio State's win over the Cornhuskers on Monday night.
With the game still in question, the Cornhuskers were in possession of the ball, down by four with less than two minutes to play. Wesson found himself guarding Isaiah Roby with the ball as the shot clock wound down. The older Wesson brother shut off Roby's drive to the basket, ultimately resulting in a shot clock violation that led to two points on the other end for Tate on the ensuing possession. Wesson pumped his first, showing perhaps more emotion than had all season after his defensive stop............

MVP of the game in my eyes, lights out play in every phase of the game. His work again Haas was unreal. Great job stepping up Andre, without that effort, no way we pull that game out.

He seems to have come up big in the second half of the season...slow start but man has he come along. Incredible how guys like Wesson continue to come off the bench and step up when we need it.
