Isaiah Whitehead had one of his best games Wednesday night, if you judge it by most standards: 14 points in 18 minutes, 3-of-4 overall, 1-of-2 from deep, 7-of-7 from the stripe. But he had no assists and four turnovers. Is that so much of a bad thing or does it portend what we might see from the Coney Island and Seton Hall product for the rest of the year: experimentation as a combo guard?
With Jeremy Lin back, and upping his minutes at the point, with Caris LeVert starting at the 3 and with Spencer Dinwiddie doing a steady job as back-up, the opportunity now exists.
