A player's performance in the last few minutes is the sole determining factor in regards to his contribution?



When you are trying to proclaim him the best Center in basketball, yes.

No one is saying he didn't have a great game.

Just that if you take a guy out, because he can cost you games down the stretch with some aspect of his play-- whether that be defensively or from the FT line--- where all other factors aren't able to outweigh that handicap-- then it is a serious knock on any claim that he's the best at his position in basketball.

Well that's a complete different argument than "the majority of loss is on Whiteside" which is a ridiculous argument.

No one has said he is the best center in basketball.

He's damn good though. Top 5 easily and more than likely top 3
