What is the future for Whiteside?

Stats wise, I'm thinking 12 points, 12 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks on 60% FG.

add 3 to the points and 1 to the rebounds and that's my prediction

I'm not sure the points are going to be there with Bosh coming back and Hezonja getting shots up;)

Hassan could get close to 20 points a game just off of dump offs, oops, garbage points, etc. I don't see us trying to play him that way though. I'm hard pressed to give him too many rebounds, because in modern NBA history (lets say 80s on), only a few guys (less than five likely) have been able to get that many boards alongside 3.5 blocks. Admiral, Dream, Shaq, Dikembe, and ...... That's super elite company, so I try to hedge my predictions just a bit.

12 points... Let's say he gets 4 points off of 2 offensive rebounds, 6 points out of Dragic and/or Wade PNR and that leaves us with just 2 points for one single post up. Now I know Bosh and McBob will be back and if we get a stud SG in the draft he's getting some shots up too, but for a player of Whitesides caliber I truly think 12 ppg is just too low.

I agree he scored 11.5ppg in only 24 minutes. Even if he doesn't improve at all, simply playing more minutes(32-35). Should lead to him scoring more. 15pts was my lowball estimate. I could easily see it being more.

We're supposed to be playing at a faster pace too. We'll see. If we do, that would increase everyone's stats.

Hard for me to imagine us playing faster when the Bulk of possessions are probably going to be going to either our Center or PF

Hassan can run the floor also. Not that big a stretch to say he can succeed in transition.

16-13-3 is my prediction.

15-16 ppgs 12.5 boards (especially since Bosh/McBob are back) and 2.5 blocks per game, possibly 3.

If - And thats a BIG if Wade dicides to be a Mav, Clipper or a Cav, are Whiteside then good enough on the offensive end to take a much bigger role?

WHO else they got to make shots? Dragic (maybe) and Deng... Nah... Bosh cant score 50 for them.
