Really like a lot about Whitt. Tough kid, can really defend, takes care of the ball, good passer. But not only can he not shoot, he won’t shot. Turns down open looks. I doubt he wants to be a 20 min/gm backup pg/defensive stopper, though on a good team that’s probably his role.

Sounds somewhat similar to Chris Reynolds, who I really liked and played with a team of good shooters.

That’s a pretty fair comp. Whitt’s bigger, more physical, doesn’t have Reynolds’ elite  lateral movement. But, yeah, that’s about right.

It's amazing to me when college guys can't shoot. These guys are all crazy athletes, so it's hard to understand not being able to at least be decent on an open jumper

Saw Whitt a couple of times in HS and, while he didn’t shoot much from distance, his shot wasn’t broken. He had a fairly clean action. He could make an open look and he was a solid FT shooter. Didn’t see any reason to think his range wouldn’t extend. It’s a mess now. The ball’s on his palm and he has this weird, sort of shot put action. Makes Xavier Simpson’s stroke look good by comparison.

I haven't seen a ton of Whitt, but he reminds me of a poor man's Shaun Livingston. Ugly shot but he's not bad from mid-range. Seems to move well without the ball, catches a lot of lobs at the rim for a guard.
