    Whiteside has hedged the perfect amount of time on three straight screens set by Plumlee and recovered back to guard the inside and be in perfect position for a rebound. If he consistently does that we'll easily be in the top-10 in defensive rating this year.

    The fact that we can hedge the PF or C on pick n rolls and still have an elite rim protector as a safety could work wonders for our defense!

    Watching him get rebounds is like watching an adult play basketball against small children.

    He’s able to cover a lot of ground with his length. He just sort of lurks. Used to drive me crazy when we’d play Miami.
