unfortunately for Whiteside, his attitude problems will likely keep him from realizing his full potential.
At age 25, I hope he has kids or has the 'ah haaaa' moment and realizes what he's wasting- he's already had one of those clicking moments but he needs another one.
He's playing well and has been a huge addition for the Heat, but his mental problems and lack of focus/discipline are alarming. Could be Larry Sanders 2.0 although hopefully he sees the light.
I'd say he's got the potential to be a top 5 center if he had the attitude of Marcus Smart (exceptional work ethic, team player etc).
On a side note, does Bob Cousy really have dementia?
