HYBRID
NBA ROLE: TWO-WAY PIVOT
Since re-defining game in the D-League, Hassan Whiteside’s developed as a two-way center; Whiteside holds down the lane while tallying double-double after double-double; old-school big: huge presence in the paint defensively, sends shots back w/ authority, doesn’t bite on a lot of fakes; active on the glass, willing to work; better post moves than you might think – Whiteside’s pretty effective with his “keep it high” hook, though he needs to shore up footwork and patience down low; seems to always find himself on the leaderboards: 1st in offensive rebounding (258) & 1st in blocks per game (2.9) in 2020; can knock down set shots to about 18 ft; signed w/ Jazz (2021) – great backup for Rudy Gobert, produces numbers when given enough minutes
