just some hassan info to share:TrollHassan:
Whiteside trails only Utah’s Rudy Gobert in rim protection, holding the bold souls that challenge him to just 41.3 percent shooting at the rack. For context, opponents shoot 44.2 percent when attacking Dwight Howard, 45.2 percent when attacking DeAndre Jordan, and 48 percent when attacking Anthony Davis.
You see it in his improved mid-range shooting. Whiteside now knocks down 15-to-19-foot jumpers at a 41.2 percent clip, much improved from his 35.9 percent mark from a season ago.
On the glass, he’s in a class of his own. Not only does he lead the NBA in rebounds (15.2 per game) and offensive boards (4.6 per game), but Whiteside’s 7.2 contested boards per game is way ahead of anyone else in the league. That stat is a testament to how well he uses his strength and length to snatch rebounds others could get their paws on.
