It's not like you to champion an obvious loser like Whiteside, but on the other hand, it's on brand to drag one of our own guys through the mud. I'm sure you know all of what I just posted and are just semi-trolling, but I wanted to go to bat for Steve.
my argument would be more that this was a down year in a situation he wasn't happy with. like paul george in indiana.
whiteside is an interesting statistical outlier to me and always has been. sort of like kanter but he produces defensive #'s and drpm has always liked him. i think at his best he's reasonably close to steve, but adams is better.
don't be a stranger, oreo
He's been all over the map for the years he's been getting significant playing time, there's nothing to really determine what's a statistical outlier. I think we'd be fine with him, but I wouldn't swap him and Adams without Richardson coming back too. Also, Adams definitely fits our defensive scheme better.
his big numbers, low impact remind me a lot of marcus camby. the man who won dpoy over tim duncan despite his team being better on defense when he was on the bench.
