I went to the Clipper Miami Game on January 11th. Jordan was sick and did not play and Cole played 24 minutes.
7-14 from the field and 7 rebounds in the win. (3 assists and 2 turn overs, no block shots, 1 foul)
Whiteside played 26 minutes and was 3-5 11 points, 3 blocks, 5 turnovers, 1 assist, 4 fouls,
Obviously Whiteside was better at blocking shots, but Cole showed more hustle and was more physical that night.....and much better offensively. His D on Bosh was excellent as well (3-11)
just one game, but it certainly got my attention.
