I'd rather have Tristan or Whiteside Poll

[trojanfan12]

He has a limited amount of post moves.

When he signs with the Lakers in the off-season, they'll have Kareem work with him and expand his post moves.

Maybe he'll take the Dwight approach.

Gawd no...nobody could be THAT dumb!

Hassan Whiteside post AS game numbers

20 PPG, 15.7 RPG & 4 BPG on 62% shooting. 81% from the line since the break as well.

Whiteside had made 17 free throws in a row before missing late last night

Very Tristan like

According to ESPN, Whiteside was the Stats and Info Defensive Player of the Month for February. It marks the second straight month that the Miami Heat center has been bestowed with the honor.


There were numerous candidates, including Andre Drummond, Nerlens Noel, DeAndre Jordan, Al Horford and Paul Millsap. However, ESPN Stats and Info gave Whiteside the accolade due to the fact that the Heat’s defense allows fewer points per 100 possessions with him on the court:

“Just as he did in each of the first three months, Whiteside again led the NBA in blocks in February. And in keeping with January’s theme, Miami’s defense was again more stout with Whiteside on the court, allowing 98.9 points per 100 possessions compared with 103.8 points per 100 possessions with him off the court.”

ESPN also mentions Whiteside’s superb ability of defending near the rim:

“Whereas Drummond enjoyed a slight edge in defensive rebounding, Whiteside’s rim protection is the trump card for February. Whiteside allowed opponents to shoot 41 percent at the rim compared with 52 percent for Drummond. The Heat center did it while contesting 10.8 attempts per game, which ranked second in the NBA, despite playing less than 28 minutes a night. On a per 36-minute basis, Whiteside contested more than five more shots at the rim than Drummond.”

While there has been a lot of negative talk surrounding the 26-year-old center due to his impending free agency and immaturity issues, it’s hard to deny his impact on the Heat when these statistics are presented.

For Hassan Whiteside and Heat, the work — strenuous and subtle — is showing

 

[Heatles84]

If Whiteside keeps this up with his attitude and productivity, give that man his long-term deal, Heat.

How much is he worth though? $10m per? $15m? If Tristan is worth $16m a year, Whiteside should be $20m

Oh boy...I'm sure Cavs fans will come out with guns blazing!

Cavs fans seem the need to defend their team without logic or any sense. You say a player is over-paid and they (and Wiggy in particular) will come guns blazing!

I'd laugh if it wasn't so pathetic!

 

[gordontrue]

I think Whiteside deserves - and will get - the max. He's very unique in today's league.

Whitesides stats, upside make him a max player.
His character devalues him to some.
Regardless, someone's going to take a chance and hopefully it's Miami.

I hope the Lakers go for him too.

The Lakers don't need Whiteside, they already got Roy Hibbert.

In his last 6 games (counting tonight so far), Hassan Whiteside has made 23/24 from the line (95.8%). Curry only at 88.0% in his last 6.
