Whaley has been a bright spot

[jibsey]

Wow, he just keeps getting better and better. Finally sold that he's going to be a real player in years to come. Good timing on blocks, can catch the dish, good timing on o-bounds, sniffs out the ball, very active. Even with Tacko in there. A bright spot for sure.

Potential. Does a lot of things, unsung type stuff.

Really liked Whaley's effort tonight. Hope we can develop him. Enough sparks on this team just might start a fire.

He’s got a lot of Roscoe Smith in him. Can Polley become Lamb?

Starting to look like a class

Whaley is an interesting player. He’s a wiry guy with the build of a wing, but with shot blocking and rebounding as his best attributes. Like a mini Dennis Rodman of sorts. He needs to put on some muscle and develop at least a 10 foot jumper. He has the potential to be infuriating for the other team. Great piece for the future really.

5 blocks tonight. In games he's played double digit minutes (only 7, which is ridiculous it took Ollie this long to realize he needs to play) he is averaging 2.3 blocks per game. Love his motor.

My first two thoughts were Rip and Ben.

Ray anyone?

He brings a ton of energy, he's a factor down low and I love this kid too

He was hurt for a while which took away some time early in the season, I think we'll see more of him going forward

He really needs to calm down out there in so many ways. Plays too fast and out of control, loses his man on D as much as anyone as he tries to make plays away from the ball and now the celebrations as well as starting down refers today, geez love the kid but he's getting a little too big for his britches. It's probably a fine line with him, but he needs to relax out there imagine how good he could be? I will still keep him LOL

He's better than a lot fans think he is, but not quite as good as he thinks he is. Definitely a keeper though.

Ollie said as much today in his post game presser. When asked directly about Adams' TO's, Ollie basically said JA needs to shoot more because no one else can make a shot.

I want JA to shoot more as well, especially in the big spots late in the game
