That makes sense watching them play . There are some differences athletically (Whitehead > Flip > Lively), but not ones so giant that the variation in effort can't move the rankings around.
When Whitehead gives his all, like locking down DJ Wagner, he looks like the best prospect. But in the past month, he's had a couple of games where that effort wasn't there and he coasted. Meanwhile, Filipowski's showing great timing on blocks and putback dunks, and moving his feet with smaller wings when he's switched on them, and hasn't had as many sub-par-effort moments.
My worries for Flip and Lively is that both look like their bread and butter is going to be close shots and putbacks. They each can hit open 3s, for sure, but they're several notches below what we got from freshman Paolo, sophomore Hurt, or freshman Carey the last three years in terms of being able to score in a lot ways outside of the paint, shoot off the dribble, etc.
