Hassan Whiteside is the new face here in town for the Portland Trail Blazers. Whiteside is a 7-foot tall center that has had a roller coaster career in the NBA. At his best, Hassan has averaged 3.7 blocks per game in a season, and had another season averaging 17 points and 14 rebounds per game.
Whiteside played these two seasons with the Miami Heat, where he was quickly rose to borderline-star status and became one of the best big men in the league. That was until the 2017-18 season, when Hassan starting losing minutes on the court and wasn’t as effective as he was in the previous pair of seasons.
