Whiteside's size, potential may outweigh maturity concerns

Lots of fun quotes from Hakeem Olajuwon in this article.

"Olajuwon said he thinks it would be a mistake for a team to pick Whiteside and then send him to the D league in the same fashion that Memphis did with Thabeet last season."

Thanks for the article.

It’s good to hear that Hakeem’s input, and his perspective on the D-League option. Minutes will be hard to come by for him right off the bat, but he’ll likely foul out in 10 mins anyways, so it may just take care of itself.

Screw you Knicks! LBJ to the Kings!!!

I like this I wonder if he could become a big man coach in Sacramento

I don’t know about Hassan playing the 3 though. I think he is a fantastic pick at the 33 was it. High Reward and whats the risk picking him in the second round. I know he will get minutes though knowing the kings luck with injuries.

Fuck the Lakers...Oh sorry the Fakers

Um, freaking awesome idea.

The dream as an upgrade over SAR.

Guys like Cousins, Whiteside, and Thompson would really listen and learn from a guy like that.

Maybe not even full-time, but just as a consultant.

God I am just full of good ideas today lol

I think he would take the job . He would be a great addition, I think Cousins needs a mentor like coach was to him. Someone he looks up to and respects. He would do wonders for Hassan at the very least.
