2023 Fantasy Outlook
Considered the top prospect in the high school class of 2022 by some evaluators, Whitehead arrived at Duke with high expectations but struggled through an injury-plagued freshman season. Whitehead saw action in 28 games but made only seven starts, posting averages of 8.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.5 made threes (42.9% 3Pt) in 20.6 minutes per game. The injuries ultimately made Whitehead a difficult evaluation, but there's no question the Nets landed a high-level talent for the No. 22 pick in the draft. Whitehead underwent surgery on his foot in May along with a follow-up procedure in June and missed the Las Vegas Summer League, but he's still expected to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 NBA season. It's possible he spends significant time in the G League, but the Nets' wing depth isn't particularly strong. Opportunities should arrive here and there for Whitehead to demonstrate his potential.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fernandez talks him up
Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez has been impressed by Whitehead in camp, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reported Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
"I can tell you he's gotten better," Fernandez said. "You look at his body from the summer, how hard he's worked, he's already gotten better and keeps taking advantage of his opportunities." Whitehead was limited to 20 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, and while his counting stats left a lot to be desired, he did hit his three-pointers at a 44.6 percent clip. While he's not projected to be in the rotation for Opening Night, that could change with a strong showing during the preseason.
