A
great team player. A solid all around player with good skills.
Passes very well out of the post and on
the wing. Sees the defense and is a good decision maker.
Can shoot the ball consistently out to 15 feet and doesn't force or
take bad shots. Won't block a lot of shots but always is in
great position to take a charge and will challenge all shots in the
lane. Understands the game and knows when a to give a good,
hard foul that can really impact a game. Is tough in the low
block and can score when given opportunities. Shoots a high
percentage and is excellent at drawing fouls. Good touch on
the ball and never gives up on a play. Can finish well around
the rim and is quite athletic. A fantastic rebounder and
defender second to none. Every team has need for a player with
this type of mental toughness.
2011-12:
Signed with Mallorca of the highly respected LEB Gold in Spain.
Immediately went to work becoming a very important part of a team that was
promoted from LEB Silver the season before. Both a crowd favorite
and team favorite Whippy asserted himself as the team's premiere defender
drawing assignments from the other team's SF to their Center! Super
versatile and did whatever was needed to assure the win. Went for a
season high 17pts to go along with 6 rebounds vs Navarre (18/11/11).
Also went for16pts along with a season high 9 rebs vs Menorca (21/01/12).
At the end of the season was immediately signed by Brisbane Spartans of
the SEABL league in Australia where he continued his first playing season.
