re: Best center in the NBA - Hassan Whiteside

how is someone that makes 60% of his shots a black hole on offense?

15 assists vs 88 turnovers.

Most of his scores are on putbacks or easy dunks. I'm not knocking that part. But when he touches the ball in the flow of the offense, the other 4 Heat players may as well turn and run down court for transition defense because he's not passing the ball. Not to mention as it's been well talked about by Miami sports media...he's lazy on offense, always out of position and sets lazy screens. Those are some of the reasons Bosh and Wade seem to not like him at all.

Then separately from offense, the team still performs better defensively when he's off the court.
