    This is the slowest game thread I've ever seen here. 2 pages at almost halftime?

    Whiteside is a monster rim protector.

    Any body got the story on Whiteside? Why was this guy missed by so many teams?

    Whiteside and Gobert are the next gen rim protectors. Screw Hibbert. Rolo is good too, but these two are going to be DPOY contenders for years to come.

    I kind of think "The Brow" might be a better DPOY choice at this point.

    Didn't the Kings draft Whiteside pretty high? I think it just took him awhile to develop..like Meyers

    Gobert and Whiteside are both better right now imo. They can expend most of their energy on defense while Davis also has to expend a lot of energy on offense.

    He's up there though, when locked in.

    I guess Whiteside had some "Maturity" type issues. He didn't want to work and was tough to deal with. Second hand info. I do not know the young man.
