PATTERNS

Struggling. Whitehead has posted negative impact in 83% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 33% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

Average defender. Whitehead doesn't hurt you defensively, but he's not making opponents uncomfortable either.

Slight upward trend. First-half impact: -3.1, second-half: -0.6. Modest improvement — possibly settling into a rhythm.
