WHITNEY
youngsters growing up in Chicago “that there’s hope.”
Whitney wowed the UK crowd from the get-go.
During Big Blue Madness, Whitney exhibited his
exceptional leaping ability. He jumped over three
people and threw one down. He and Keion Brooks had
a dunking rotation at one point.
When asked on Media Day who was the team’s best
dunker, Whitney said, “That’s up for debate.
Me and Keion are all right. Keion’s super athletic, and
he can shoot the ball pretty well.”
At Nike Camp this past summer, Whitney showed off
a strong pull-up jumper and his penetration prowess.
Whitney brings personality, too. His attire prior to Big
Blue Madness — shades inspired by “Terminator,” an
Ice Cube T-shirt and gold chains — refl ected that.
Can Whitney bring some of that Chicago magic
not long ago conjured up by Davis? Time will tell, but
there’s a great deal of potential and excitement that ac-
companies his skill.
“I feel like I can do whatever it takes for my team
to win,” he said.
