With Dwyane Wade gone and Hassan Whiteside signing a huge contract, we knew that the reigns of Miami would be handed over to him. After a 14.2 point, 11.8 rebound, and 3.7 block season, the Miami center was well known across the league. Many teams were interested but the Heat wasted no time in giving Whiteside a big deal. However, it was unknown whether he could live up to they hype.

Well….. So far, so good in Miami. Hassan Whiteside has been nothing less than a beast through 3 games this season. Statistically, he’s exactly what the doctor ordered in terms of fantasy. He’s put up the points, rebounds, blocks, and efficiency that can lead to wins in fantasy match-ups.
