Whitehead remembers the Nets when they were in New Jersey, not Brooklyn, and when they played at the Prudential Center - not his new home at Barclays. I feel like once I get 100% I can go back to showing how well I can really be a great on-ball playmaker.” But I feel like I can definitely show the athletic part, and then really my playmaking. “I feel like people definitely tend to think that I’m not athletic, and that was due to me pretty much playing on one leg. “I think I can definitely get back to that guy who I was,” he said. The Nets’ rookie is excited to attack his rehab process. We’re very comfortable with one, the person, the chip on his shoulder, and the performance team and coaching staff here, will get him back to where he needs to be. “But it gives us the conviction when we’re drafting a guy like that to know, hey, we had a young man come through here, Caris LeVert, who had been through similar injuries. I can only imagine had he been at strength, he would’ve gone a lot higher,” Marks said of Whitehead.
He also possesses the ability to create his own shot off the bounce, often displaying a step-back three through his 28 games at Duke. Sweetening the pot is Whitehead’s defensive potential at 6-7, 220 pounds. He averaged eight points per game at Duke in his lone freshman season but shot an impressive 43% clip from downtown on an average of 3.5 three-point attempts per game. While this 1997 disc is relatively easy to locate, the same cannot be said of Daydream Believer and Other Hits, which includes the unissued side "You Can't Tie a Mustang Down" and was inexplicably discontinued shortly after its 1998 release.Whitehead, however, is eager to make his mark, eager to prove wrong the teams who overlooked him before the Nets scooped him up outside of the draft lottery. For example, "I'm a Believer" and "I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone" contain notably different mixes. However, more important for the insatiable Monkees enthusiast are the lesser-circulated 45 versions of the tracks issued as singles. The other side of the argument is that this is indeed a bargain-priced compilation. In fact, "On the Day We Fall in Love" from More of the Monkees seems aggressive by comparison. It is wholly unequal to even the most tepid of Jones contributions to any Monkees recording. After less than 30 seconds, it is easy to understand why this track has rightfully remained vaulted. "Ceiling in My Room" - the only unique track on the disc - is best described as a weepy and introspective milquetoast affair sung by Davy Jones. "Heart and Soul" is the A-side of their first single for Rhino Records from their 1987 reunion flop, Pool It! This compilation has taken a lot of flak from casual fans as well as collectors. While there is no indication on the front cover artwork, this release has several notable inclusions - chief among them the previously unreleased ballad "Ceiling in My Room." Also included - in a decidedly haphazard running order - are the A- and B-sides of the 45s "I'm a Believer"/"I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone," "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"/"The Girl I Knew Somewhere," and "Someday Man"/"Listen to the Band." Although neither "Cuddly Toy" nor "Shades of Gray" were issued as singles, they were included on the 1969 Monkees Greatest Hits package. From the Rhino Records budget subsidiary Flashback comes the ten-track I'm a Believer and Other Hits EP.
