Whiting, a forward out of Vermont Academy, checks in at #49 overall and #5 among the power forwards. Whiting is a high motor forward that does a nice job of playing with energy and impacting games with his effort. He’s an instinctive cutter that uses his length effectively around the rim as a finisher and has done a nice job of developing his perimeter jumper. He can now operate as a hard roller or pop guy out of ball screens. Defensively, he’s a strong rebounder that has great pursuit of the ball, and, with his length and mobility, is capable of guarding up or down a position.

Landon Whiting Landon Whiting 6'7" | PF Vermont Academy | 2027 State New E had a well rounded performance on the court. He rebounded well for his position, finished well in the paint, and stretched the floor from downtown. I also appreciated the energy on the defensive side as well.

Another intriguing forward from the Team Northeast program, Whiting caught the eye with his impressive natural fluidity and emerging twitchiness at his size. In a narrow semifinal loss to BABC, he was effective in transition whether running out ahead for athletic finishes or even pushing the break himself while showcasing his expanding ball skills. Working on refining his 3-point stroke, he flashed the ability to be a threat from the arc, which will be a key area of his game to track moving forward. The native of Canada is still catching up in terms of high-level reps and will need to continue his work in the weight room, but Whiting showed he certainly belongs on the scholarship radar with his physical tools and the outlines of his skillset.
