Downingtown West put on a dominant performance in a win over Woodbury (NJ) and it was Whitfield Jr. mostly leading the way from the backcourt. Stepping into a leadership role as a senior, he impressed with his ability to play both on and off the ball with promising length and the ability to create his own shot on command. He was also effective as a setup man, helping feed his bigs consistently for easy looks. Whitfield has nice size for his position with a long, youthful frame that looks like it should continue developing nicely into college. He looks like he should blossom into a priority for small-college programs and potentially also prep schools this winter, and could even be an interesting late flier at the scholarship level depending on how quickly he continues to develop.

Whitfield adds value to his team with his offensive repertoire and should be in line for an increased role this upcoming season after primarily serving in a reserve role. He is a capable shooter who can knock down shots while playing off the basketball and provides spacing within the offense. I also like the body control he shows when attacking, allowing him to stay balanced and make plays around the basket. With more opportunities, Whitfield has the tools to take another step forward this season.
