Hassan Whiteside,finally came around

[Malta]

Do you think this is legit? Or am I getting my hopes up

Bosh is never really had a real center his whole career to play with it opens up his game so much

It's legit in that he could be a starting center, but don't expect 20/10 games to be a regular occurrence.

He's 6'11" 265lbs and athletic, he should be able to carve out a solid career, what held him back before was how skinny he was and he was raw as hell, dude used to make JaVale McGee look like a cerebral player. He's developed a lot and putting on 40+ pounds is what has given him a career.

Come on breh, dude was a 2nd round pick from Conf USA and skinny as shyt when he was drafted, nobody thought he was going to be a beast

Not beast, far as a Shaq,but I always thought he'd be able to more than hold his own anytime you getting 5 blocks a game D1 level that says alot add in 13 and 9 boards with that,always thought he'd be solid

He played in Conf-USA though, stats from that league should be taken with a grain of salt, and that was proven by how he couldn't even stay on the floor in the league. The Kings could have developed him more, but he wasn't helping matters much, he was a project big that had to fall out the league to develop.

you could see the raw talent during his brief stints elsewhere, he's improving at a stellar rate. i wonder if zo has taken him under his wing.

True but dont forget about the hype that surronded him at one point,people was calling him a lottery pick at one point,I knew he wasn't lottery,but thought he'd go in the first

But you got a point

7-6 wingspan

 

[Malta]

7-6 wingspan

7'7" wingspan


Only Gobert has a bigger wingspan.

 

[pete clemenza]

[prophecypro]

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Fixed. He's been great from what little I've gotten to see lately. Our first real center since I was in high school

What happen to oden?

 

[Draje]

You can tell he's learning under Zo and Howard because he's already picking up on our defensive rotations much better than he used to.

He also surprisingly good hands and a natural chemistry with Bosh and Wade. He allows Bosh to roam on defense and pressure the PNR and he makes it very hard to double Bosh in the post so Bosg is finally playing his natural position. It's beautiful.

He's still a little foul prone so he I think he'll probably get taken advantage of by the smarter centers. Duncan, Gasol, and those types will probably make him struggle a bit but he's definitely a highlight if our season.
