Isaiah Whitehead Game Review

http://www.thebasketballdiary.com/2013/05/team-jersey-elite-new-jersey-vs-juice.html
I recently checked out Isaiah Whitehead and his Juice All Stars team go up against NJ Elite that took place in April. The full game is available to watch in the link above.

It's really amazing how every time when I watch him play that he can fill up the box score without looking like he's doing too much. He knocked down a few long jumpers early on and kind of fell in love with the three ball and shot 1-8 overall from deep. He mixed in some good drives and every time when I watch him when he doesn't fall in love with the jumper he's pretty much unstoppable going inside which leads to scoring, finding the open player for an assist, or getting fouled. I like that he competes for boards and doesn't just stand and watch like most guards do. I had him charted for 2 steals but he had several strips and deflections that led to turnovers and he seems to have good instincts in that department defensively. His stat line overall that I charted was 19pts, 10rbs, 3ast, 2stls, 2 turnovers, 1-8 3pt, 6-8 ft. Besides the 3pt shot, it was a very solid game overall for him. While he'll mainly be a SG on the next level, he does a lot of ball handling and could find himself playing the combo role and running PG on occasions.
