Hassan WhitesideC, Portland Trail BlazersHassan Whiteside played 16 minutes on Sunday, coming away with five points and five rebounds.
Not good. Jusuf Nurkic has looked fantastic and the drop off from him to Whiteside is steep — mainly because he can make basic reads on offense and play competent team defense. As a result, Whiteside's been relegated to clear bench duty, averaging 16.5 mpg through two Orlando games so far. We knew his volume-based game would suffer in the restart, but this is pretty much the worst-case scenario. Hopefully you didn't spend a middle-round pick on him in resumption leagues. If he's not blocking shots in his short stints on the court, Whiteside is a total zero in fantasy.
