The Brooklyn native is currently projected as the No. 58 pick in 2016 by DraftExpress.com, but he’s hoping to go higher than that.
“Definitely, I definitely want to be a first-round pick,” Whitehead, 21, told me at the NBA Draft Combine. “But it depends on how I play in these workouts, to tell you the truth. If I play bad, I can’t expect anything. So I really gotta just keep grinding, keep getting better so when I get to these workouts, I can knock them out the park.”
He currently has workouts scheduled with Philadelphia (Monday), Indiana (Wednesday), Boston (Friday) and Chicago (May 23).
