Wearing the No. 1 gold jersey! The "White Demon" appears boldly with sunglasses, potentially entering the Wizards' starting lineup for the new season.

On September 24th Beijing time, the Wizards revealed their new city edition gold jersey for the upcoming season. Whitmore, nicknamed the "White Demon," showcased the No. 1 jersey, wearing sunglasses and standing prominently in the middle with a strong, confident aura. American media regard Whitmore’s move to the Wizards as one of the most overlooked signings of the summer. Given his potential and how a change of scenery might advance his career, the Wizards appear to be an ideal destination for him.

Whitmore joining his hometown team not only signals more playing time but also makes this partnership especially fitting. Observers expect him to play a key role. Looking at the roster, Whitmore seems like the perfect candidate to fill the frontcourt, especially the small forward spot. After Kulibali’s injury, anticipation has grown for Whitmore to join the starting lineup at the No. 3 position, immediately pushing this high-potential rookie into a core role for the Wizards. Some experts believe Whitmore might be better suited as a power forward, but regardless, his playing time in Washington is expected to far exceed what he had with the Rockets.

U.S. media note that with a career average of 22.5 points per 75 possessions, his scoring ability is unquestionable, and no one doubts his talent for putting up points. However, if he never learns to pass effectively or focus on defense, it will be difficult for him to become a true star.

Whitmore still needs to develop a more well-rounded playing style and move beyond a mindset focused solely on scoring. He actually has the capability to do so. Being young, Whitmore has a real chance to use this offseason to correct his weaknesses and become a foundational player for the team in Washington.
