yeah hassan is a center full of talent but he hasnt been himself as of late because he seems slow,uninterested so much so that he is not having a positive impact on the floor and keep in mind that he has had these types of issues before while in sacramento and other teams and that's why other teams were hesitant to sign him before the heat grab him,so any toughts

no caps tho?

But yes we should be concerned, he still need to mature & he gotta let things go, hes our best player. The talent is there but the motivation idk

um, no not really..more concerned with Spo's rotations

I'm not concerned ... but I would love to see Whiteside get back to being a shot blocking machine. That was fun.

i agree he can be a defensive force when he wants to

I'm calling BS.

Whiteside shooting free throws at 80%, 3rd in scoring with 15.2, leads team in ORB (3.2) and RPG (12.4), and 3 point shooting (1 for 1, baby.) These numbers despite playing 6 minutes fewer per game and not playing at all during our losing streak.

Whiteside is fine. He is not the problem.

Actually 2 for 2, baby!

Always, emotionally he's a child that desperately wants to feel needed by his teammates before he starts trying hard. With that said, Hassan on average does produce a ton for this team and along with JJ/Dragic and Olynyk is the only above average NBA minutes we get. I'm far more concerned about that wing glut of TJ/Ellington/Winslow/Waiters/Richardson that has problem shooting 50%TS

He's pretty far down on my list of concerns.

Hasnt been himself, due to one poor game? Gimme a break.

Also id be more concerned with a team benching their best player and max guy because he was having an off night. Cant see any other team doing that to their premier talent.

Team should be more concerned with the bust Winslow is and also J-Rich's erratic play.

Dude got in a funk for a game.... missed a few shots... total non- story.


His team rallied around him, they did not drive him to crisis intervention.

yes, it appears to be a re-occurring undercurrent with Hassan. Sure, I'll give him this season to find self-esteem and keep his head in the game. I am a skeptic because he has so much talent and something has wormed its way into his psyche. -

lol, even if Winslow was a bust we stand to lose nothing by playing out his contract and letting him walk. They've already committed financially to Richardson, and a host of other guys. In terms of concern I can't see how a rookie deal takes precedent over the players we've committed the dollars to, those are the ones we need to show up.

He looks physically weak. Its not mental. Besides so many stars have so many issues. Hes not perfect who is. He looks like he is laboring. It would help if we had more movement and slashing in the paint to open up better looks. Teams are respecting him inside sometimes triple team, he is getting ppl looks. Also players are getting blown by and he isnt always there or willing to clean up or get in foul trouble.

Id like to see him and bam play together so he has help and muscle inside.

Lol one slump of a game and this thread gets made. His last issue was with Alex Len. Do you remember when that was? What else do you want from him?

Exactly! I’m more worried about Waiters awful play and bum ankle.

Would you guys be interested in Jabari Parker for Whiteside deal?

Hassan on Bucks would be goos and entertaining as hell, but two knee injuries and a contract coming up is just too much of a gamble to take on Parker. I think exploring Jabari trade options is a valid way forward for you guys tho.

Not at all. As long as he is putting up 20 points and 10-20 rebounds with a few blocks, he could fart in your face and I would be fine with it. Then, if you had a problem with that, I would tell ya to Chalm Down!
