EDGE Analysis

Whiteside has been off to a strong start to the season, hitting double-digits in rebounds in six out of the first nine games, and never failing to block at least two shots over the last eight. He emerged in the second half of last season and appears to be headed in the right direction this year. However, he's had his fair share of struggles staying healthy. If he can stay on the court, there isn't much competition in the Heat's front court, and Whiteside will likely keep up this pace.
