Whitehead, who will reportedly sign with agent Andy Miller, continuously pushed back his decision on whether to remain in the draft or not, making his choice one day before the May 25th deadline.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder burst onto the national scene during a breakout sophomore season. Whitehead scored 18.2 points and added 5.1 assists per game in leading Seton Hall to the Big East Tournament title.
DraftExpress' latest Mock Draft has Whitehead as the 58th overall selection, but the talented guard has said he would turn professional with a first-round guarantee.
