With the way people are talking about his performance you would think he's the number 1 pick of this draft class.
Whiteside and Orton have the same "talent". Genetic talent. I grant that Whiteside has a nominal lead in this category. But in a measure of maturity Orton laps Whiteside 5 or 6 times. He also laps him 5 or 6 times when it comes to intelligence. Orton will be a NBA journeyman. Whiteside will be lucky if he is a Philippine league all-star.
