Wotherspoon is a very positionally sound, defensive defenseman. He knows that his first priority is his own end. He is not particularly physical, but he has good size and is good at getting body position.

They have been working hard with him on his offensive game. While his first pass is good, he isn't an offensive defenseman by any stretch.

His shot is improving, and his comfort level walking the line is improving, but isn't a strength.

edit (some more comments): he won't wow you, and you can go long stretches without noticing him. But the more you watch, the more you like and the more you notice all the subtle little things that he does well. He is a 'smart' defenseman. I think in a couple years he is going to be a great 3/4 guy
