Isaiah Whitehead has been long regarded as the top Class 2014 prospect in the New York City. For the past two seasons he ran the circuit with the Juice All Stars AKA Starrett City. Whitehead wasted no time this year by leading his team to the Grand Finale, Clash For The Cup and Funsport Jr. Pro League crowns among others.
Isaiah’s strong game and athleticism causes many people to make unfair comparison’s to former NYC Phenom Lance Stephenson. I believe Whitehead has enough game and potential to edge his own name in stone. One opposing AAU coach agrees “When you look at the NYC’s Class of 2014 there’s Isaiah Whitehead at the top then there’s everyone else. If he continues to work hard and keep a good attitude he could be a high major player” the coach finished.
Basketball Spotlight will keep an eye on Whitehead and his journey to stay level headed while the NYC hype machine rolls. Instead of labeling him the next Lance Stephenson let him be the first Isaiah Whitehead. Check out Isaiah and few other top players on the video Funsport Championship Preview below.
