Whiteside is getting better and better during year two with Miami.
Hassan Whiteside isn't the type of big man you want to throw the ball into and tell to go operate. Instead, he's an athletic, big body you want setting screens and rolling off of them to the hoop. And that's exactly how the Heat are using him.
Over at ESPN, Michael Wallace writes that Miami is making a concerted effort to get Whiteside the ball in pick-and-roll situations:
The chemistry between Whiteside and Wade, particularly on pick-and-roll sets that have resulted in dunks for the athletic center or floaters for the crafty veteran, has been a priority for both players this season.
