Here’s a decent look at new Duke commit Dariq Whitehead and what he brings to Duke from Tom Fornelli of CBSSports.com.
Fornelli spoke to colleague Jerry Myer who compared Whitehead to former Texas star Jarrett Culver: “Solid size for a wing. Has quick twitch athleticism. Fast with the basketball. Loves to attack the rim, but has a smooth jumper. Three-level scorer. Has a great pull up jumper going left. Solid ball handler and passer who plays with awareness and instincts. Rebounds his position well. Has tremendous potential as a versatile defender.“
That’s all good and he might have added that Whitehead is physically more mature than most of his contemporaries, including Kyle Filipowski, who also committed to Duke last week.
