Hassan Whiteside has only himself to blame for the Miami Heat not trusting him on the court in late game situations, and it has little to do with speed or going small.
The real issue with Whiteside comes from his not being careful with the ball when he gets it in the paint.
In truth Whiteside has the second highest usage rate of the regulars, and he’s careless with it when he’s put under pressure.
Among rotation players, Hassan is only one with an assist/turnover ratio under 1 and has the highest turnover ratio when entrusted with the basketball.
