Donald Whitehead Jr. gives UNCG a steady, shot-creating backcourt engine
In the 2025-26 season, Donald Whitehead Jr. has been UNCG’s lead guard, averaging 10.1 points, 2.4 assists, and 1.6 rebounds in 34 games while starting 20, with a workload that shows the staff trusts him. His profile says “compact but tough”: he gets to the line, handles pressure, and competes hard, though his efficiency has been streaky (37.1% FG, 30.7% from three). If you want a guard who can initiate offense, absorb contact, and play with edge, he’s a fit; if you need a big, efficient scoring engine, he’s more craft than flash.
