William Whorton brings low-usage frontcourt depth to Memphis
Whorton is a return option for Memphis after a 2026 season in which he posted 1.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game, suggesting a low-usage role rather than a featured offensive load. Sources describe him as a South Dakota State transfer and a frontcourt addition for Penny Hardaway’s roster, so his value is more about size, depth and fit than headline numbers. If you want a steady, system-friendly big who can absorb minutes without needing the ball, he looks like a practical bench piece rather than a star-level impact transfer.
