"The Villanova product landed with the Wizards earlier this offseason after two seasons with the Houston Rockets ended with a sour relationship and a desire fresh start for both sides. Whitmore was hoping to land on a team that could offer him the ability to play meaningful minutes and the Rockets were looking to fill their roster with players willing to buy in on a contending roster and put individual goals aside."
"Nonetheless, courtesy of general manager Rafael Stone, the Rockets opted to do right by Whitmore and give the DMV native the opportunity to play for his home team. Following what could be looked at as one of the most underrated moves of the offseason, all eyes were on Whitmore and how he'd look on a rebuilding team that could not only prioritize his development, but give him the chance to play through his mistakes."
"On Sunday, we got the chance to see exactly that and in 17 minutes, Whitmore looked like the exact type of player that could pan out in Washington long term. Whitmore came off the bench in his debut as expected, but during his time on the court he looked like a game changer for the Wizards, totaling 10 points knocking down four of his seven shooting attemps."
