Sorry cane but Whitney won't come close to 16 points per game or be a top 5 draft pick. I love the kid and he will get better and better but his game is a little raw right now.
Whitney
- Thread starter track42
- Start date
I like your outlook. There are lots of NBA people around McD practices who talked about him having a 'raw' offensive game and needs to work on his shot and handles.
Nothing would make me happier than for you to be correct. I admit 100% to never seeing him in person and basing my thoughts around what scouts have said about him.
I also remember hearing how Briscoe won some 3pt shooting contests and how he was a shot-making pg ; -)
I think Whitney will be a good player. I'll be a very happy man if you're assessment is correct.
lol at some of these posts.
whitney looked incredibly raw in the mcdonalds game.
very poor handle.
limited ability with the ball.
doesn't look like a natural scorer at this stage of development.
long and lean, should be a good wing defender but who knows.
shot looks ok
lol at 16 pts a game. this team will need another scorer to go with maxey. herro coming back is the key.

@caneintally still isn’t worried about the current UK team, even though they’re out of the tournament he still thinks they have a good chance at winning it all
Taking anything from that game is what's laughable. I've watched probably 5 games of his or more. He handles the ball just fine for his size. He can score at all three levels as well. People are selling him short are foolish, especially based a glorified pick-up game.
That’s just his thing. To make ridiculous homer statements. Maxey MIGHT average 16 but that’s it. He will probably be the leading scorer. Whitney will probably be around 10-14ppg.
whitney can really slash. hami kind of lacked that for offensive maneuvers. whitnry has put on some muscle though. kind of reminds a bit of mkg.
I honesty think Brooks will be a better player than Whitney next year and start at the SF spot. Whitney has all the tools to be a great player but is very raw offensively right now. Give me players that can shoot and score over the Uber athletes that can't shoot.
You’re over valuing Sestina and under valuing Montgomery. If one unexpected guy should leave I hope it’s hagans. He negates any shooters on the floor bc he is a limited threat I’d rather develop quickley at the 1 and have
Quick
Maxey
Herro
Sestina
Montgomery
You don’t only need a rim protector but you have to be able to rebound too and this is based on the Sestina hype. Who knows if he can keep pace at an elite level but I have him out there bc of his experience
You would think that to attain a 5 star ranking you would at least be fundamentally sound. Shooting, defending and ball handling over jumping, potential and physical stature. Why does Cal recruit any player that can't shoot the basketball, has to be begged to play hard or be taught how to be physical? Would rather have fundamental sound 3 and 4 star players and a couple of 5 stars sprinkled in. And for the 9 or 10 through 13 spots the three best Kentucky players that just want to be here.
Whitney is a decent shooter shooting around 35% from 3 point range and has good ability to score. He has a alpha mentality and a superior athlete. I just feel Brooks has the ability to be a high volume scorer once he gets stronger and used to the college game.
