24 points (12/13 FGs) 20 rebounds 3 steals 2 blocks tonight He's already had a 14 rebound quarter He's also had a triple double with 12 blocks He's earned his own thread.
Going into that draft Whiteside was projected to go top-10 but fell like a rock during the combine. Apparently he had pretty severe ADHD and couldn't remember plays.
His last year in the league he had an elite 10 blk%. With scrubs like Cameron Bairstow getting a deal I'm surprised he received very little interest last summer. Doc Rivers basically told him to fuck off.
The fucked thing for Miami is Whiteside can't be extended and will become an UFA. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....de-become-an-unrestricted-free-agent-in-2016/
You know, I just love it when people are willing to admit their errors--says a lot about their character. Lord knows I've had to do it enough. I like having been right about this one.
