Whitmore has finally made a magnificent turn, and with his excellent play, he has already secured the first man on the Rockets' bench, and he will enter the rotation of Amen Thompson, Holiday and others, he is a clear change from what we have seen before, and he is familiar with the situation on the court.
It stands to reason that a rookie who is not yet 20 years old should not have such a mature mind, all of this comes from experiencing the tempering of the G League, the Rockets give him a lot of training opportunities, and there will be a time to learn; During the G League, Whitmore has 11 consecutive games to cut 20+ performances, and 2 two games to cut 30+ output + one 40+, an average of 26.8 points per game, three-point shooting rate is close to 40%, ranking first in the league in points per game, and fifth in steals.
We have the impression that Whitmore has always been a competitive player and has been training particularly hard. He's a threat on the offensive end, he's a lot of physical opponents, and he's not going to give in if he's fallen countless times. Whitmore has been through a lot from not playing with the ball to being sent to the Development League many times, so as soon as he returns to the home team and Udoka gives him a chance to play, he will live up to the microwave effect, and he is very good at showing himself.
Whitmore makes us feel such a big contrast, because he took the opportunity of Eason and Dillon's injuries and just got a steady amount of playing time, and some of Tate's time was squeezed;
The young man seized the opportunity, in the last 5 games, Whitmore played an average of 18.9 minutes per game, averaging 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, and the three-point shooting rate exceeded the 40% level;
Many people say that Whitmore is very similar to Anthony when he first entered the league, the style of play is ornamental, and has stable mid-range projection skills, the difference is that Anthony has been given the role of the team boss since he entered the league, while the White Devils can only gradually enter the rotation from the bench, the role is different, and the meaning of existence is somewhat different; as a 2.01-meter forward swingman, Whitmore is very good at catching the attention of fans. With Whitmore's outburst, the Rockets are likely to use Tate's next move with Landale in a package trade, with Udoka willing to sacrifice a lot of draft picks but with the goal of finding Shin Kyung's replacement.
