William Whorton
About William
Expert Analysis
Max Wagner | Prep Hoops Scout
He got off to a slow start in the first half, but the South Dakota State commit came alive in the second half to give his team a chance. Whorton started off the half with a baseline slam, and shortly after added two transition finishes. He runs the floor better than most at 6’8, and looks a lot more comfortable now handling the ball in the open floor which allows him to take steals and rebounds and immediately look to push the tempo. He’s a major shot blocking threat as his length and athleticism would suggest, but I was also impressed with his back-to-the-basket game. William was catching on the block and immediately looking to go to work as he could turn over either shoulder and finish with a hook shot.

Despite the loss, William showed increased confidence and ability on the offensive side of the ball. In the second half he rattled in three triples in a row but was also finding success putting the ball on the floor and getting to the rim. If his man cut him off Whorton was under control and able to spin the opposite direction and extend to finish. With his extremely long frame and mobility, there are very few defenders who are going to be able to stick with him and contest his shots in the paint.
