Much like Derozan, not a fan of that deal. Whiteside is wayyyyy overrated IMO.


As a talent, he's rare. There aren't enough 7' big men with his type of athleticism to go around. I don't have a problem with the deal.

You just hope he stays motivated but no one can predict the future.

That's an excellent signing for them. They need shooters.

He has the 2nd highest PER of any post player over the last two seasons.

He was MUCH better in the 2nd half of the season.

I'm honestly way more worried about his drive after finally getting paid than anything else

And his metrics still ultimately check out as someone who gives you quality defense. He's top 10 in DBPM, top 5 in defensive win shares, 3rd in DRB%, and 1st in block%
Because literally none of those things factor in being out of position and your guy getting a rebound put back, screwing up a P&R. That's all well and great, it does nothing to show his faults.

Yes he has some flaws, mainly defending the P&R, but I think his overall value, especially on defense, is high
He's a good defensive player, yes. He's just way overrated as a defender. He's not THAT good. He's the poster boy for stats don't tell the whole story.

No one is denying the stats man. That was like the entire point of the discussion.

Again, all the things he does really poorly are things that won't show up on these counting stats.

Bulk of those minutes were playing against 2nd unit with the MIA 2nd unit.

What I'm saying is that although he may be a little overrated defensively, he's overall very much worth his new contract. If he keeps up that production that is.

Again, a lot of that production is negated by things that don't show up in his stat sheet, so the production you see isn't as good as it actually looks like on paper.

I think it ended up pretty neutral. With healthy Bosh they were better with Whiteside off the floor, with no Bosh they were better with Whiteside on.

The team's Drtg was .9 points better with him on the floor. It was negative most of the season, until he went to the 2nd unit.

Team's block % goes up by .1% when he's in the game. And I was off in a post above, the team's rebounding % does suffer when he's out, but not by as much as you'd think.

Not sure why he would choose Memphis over Portland.
