I am very surprised by how little attention this kid is receiving. If I were to remove all bias I think he would get my vote as Big East Player of the Year.
Whitehead is averaging 17 points per game, and 5 assists. He has led a team with only a few other slightly above average players (Carrington, Rodrigues, Delgado) to a 20-7 record and a 3rd place Big East finish behind 2 of the best teams in the entire country. I've only watched a handful of Seton Hall games this year in full but vividly remember our complete inability to contain him especially down the stretch in our game at the Pavilion. He has really matured with his willingness to pass the ball as evidenced by his 5 assists per game and everyone already knows that he can score in a variety of ways.
