Whitmore, who will turn 19 in July, enters the NBA fresh off a Big East Freshman of the Year campaign at Villanova. A burly, 6-foot-7 wing, Whitmore is regarded as one of the more natural scorers in the 2023 class, one who gets to his spot near the rim and around the foul line with ease, while also creating space with an array of step-backs and pump-fakes. Whitmore was reportedly in consideration for the No. 4 pick as recently as last week. He was at one point a rumored target for Detroit at No. 5 and Utah at No.
