re: Best center in the NBA - Hassan Whiteside

the interesting thing about whiteside is that his team is better without him

Yep, and the sample size on that keeps growing.

And there have been articles pointing out legit reasons for this as more than a fluke. Great shot blocker, not a great defensive player.

He's also a black hole offensively and a turnover machine.

There aren't exactly many great centers these days so he's certainly in the mix, but I think the Heat will be smart enough to not offer him nearly as much as some team who isn't a contender will.

He is who he is, I don't see him fixing the issues he has. He'll continue to put up gaudy numbers from time to time and depending where he goes, he'll likely do more dumb stuff than we've seen in Miami.
