Whitlock is pure and simple, a shooter.  If I had to pick one guy to hit a long range, pressure shot it would be him.  At 6'3" he has a great basketball body. Needs to increase aggression and expand his efforts into improved rebounding and ballhandling. Very coachable, high academic player who could really blossom as he gets "meaner" between the lines.-Coach Max Ivany
