Whitehead gets the 3 going

[catholicman]

4 of 9 from 3-pt land tonight. He had his feet set. Looks like he improved his form. If he can get his 3-pt shot going, then the pirates can go places.

Spoke to him in the post game and he said he felt comfortable tonight.

The key was not forcing, although in truth he hits some pretty difficult shots.

He seems too amped up to me when he shoots in tight games. If he could relax just a bit it would do wonder for his % IMO.

But how about that block from behind last night! That was crazy! Love to see a clip of that one. The St. John's kid was completely stunned and it fired up the small crowd and bench.

That block was phenomenal!!!!

Ditto, 112. The kid is all motor. He does need to temper that a bit and know when to throttle down. He'll learn. He is smart enough to know when the long ball isn't falling, he either drives or goes to his mid-range game. Big guard like that, would love to see him back his man in and hit the 6-12 foot jumper, ala Oscar or Clyde. I think he's just scratching the surface.

I love his mid-range shooting form. If he could just use his intelligence to discover the easiest mid-range shot, he could give teams fits. In his defense, he always gets a lot of attention from other teams and doesn't have much time or space to do anything.

The announcers were commenting that he was the 1st player on the floor two hours before the game practicing his shooting. They said that other than them, he was the only one out there.
