The junior is a skilled scoring guard and reliable perimeter shot maker with deep range. He moves well without the basketball and has a strong understanding of how to use screens to create open looks. He also has above-average quickness and enough ball skills to serve as a secondary ball handler, giving him additional versatility in the backcourt.

Whipple’s length and shooting touch make him an intriguing perimeter prospect. The lanky guard knocked down shots from deep both off the catch and off the dribble, showing confidence in a variety of situations. He was especially effective in transition, where he ran the floor, got his feet set, and punished defenses with catch-and-shoot threes before they could get organized. His ability to shoot on the move adds another layer to his game. Defensively, his length and instincts hint at potential as a disruptive perimeter defender. As his strength continues to develop, his overall impact should follow.
