THis is the time to experiment. I honestly think they are just trying to tire cousins out... I would too.... he needs to learn the hard way that not working out and lifting weights in this league is a recipe to get owned in the NBA. No matter your talents.
He needs to see what this league is about and it looks like he is.... and these are D-Leaguers. He has a few months to get himself in the best shape of his life or this will be a nightly thing... This is where the risk reward gamble goes. The kid has a solid frame to build on and incredible talent. But his body is very under developed. He lacks endurance and lower body strength.
Damn big Cuz! This is on the coaching staff - you force him to get his big body down low or you sit his ***. He needs to learn. All the talent in the world but is settling for too many jumpers.
Poor coaches yelling at Whiteside to get in the paint, and Whiteside confused because he doesn't want to get three in the key. Ends up getting it anyway.
