It looks like Whittington has grown. Is that possible? he looks almost as tall as Benson and a lot taller than Hank Walker who is 6'6".

It's pretty weird that I mentioned Troy Williams and Jarrod Uthoff on here a couple weeks ago and they both got snagged the next day. For those Gm's who seem to be lurking here, I am still recommending Keith Benson. The man can and will be a good 2nd string center, damnit!

ia it too late though? He probably would've gotten a call up if he started showing his 3 pt range in the d league this year already.

I think if he was waived or let go after deadline then we couldn't sign, not sure. We're at a tough spot with Roster spots, maybe he'll have to wait after McBob or UD or hope that CBA extra Dleague spots thing comes into play next season

Small sample size (7 games), but Whittington is shooting 50% from 3 on high volume (6 attempts per game). He is also listed as 6'9" this year when he was listed as 6'8" last yr which might confirm my belief that he has grown based on that team photo where he looks like he is taller.


Stokes still hasn't played and the season is just about over. Maybe he'll get some burn in the playoffs. The Heat have been able to sign him since February trade deadline anniversary but they dont have room for him atm.

I think this off-season, if we can't sign Willie Reed, Benson must be given a chance.

So the season is over and Stokes didn't play :nonono: A lost year for him.

former Heat 10 day signee George Hunt was signed by the Magic


Player I recommended weeks ago, Troy Williams did this the other day, starting for the Rockets:

He's raw, but I'm like ODB i like it raw.

Whittington has always looked good to me. Maybe next season he'll break through.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders
