What's new

Hassan Whiteside

@PKM, were you in Washington DC this week for the Nike Global Basketball thing ?

No.. Normally go, but my wife was in a wedding and I had kid duty. If you wanna know something, though, just ask .. I got LOTS of feedback.
 
I'd rather have the midget from the music video: "Saftey Dance" by "Men without Hats" than get Hassan Whiteside.

The Kings waived Hassan Whiteside. I'd invite him to camp or pick him up. He's got real length and decent athleticism, and he could play some center next to Favors for spot minutes. He's bulked up some since college. I just don't think that Kings team knows how to utilize talent. Whiteside has looked pretty good during summer leagues.

Yet another reason summer league performance is overvalued. Whiteside is a stiff. He was one of these big guys coming out of college who everyone suspected was a stiff, but since "you can't coach height" (an over used and dumb cliche), somebody inevitably drafted him higher than he deserved.

I can't think of any reason to sign him, unless one of our other bigs gets hurt, even then, we can do better than this guy.
 
He is a 7' project, which is not bad to have at the end of your bench. He makes the NBA minimum. It would be worth the risk.
