i don't think it's controversial to say message boards are amazingly reactionary and whitt is probably an extreme because he doesn't play a ton of minutes, is low-usage and was a big recruit so his sample sizes that get blown out of proportion are even smaller than most players.
i've generally been on the pro-whitt camp in that i think he's playable and has some potential, but he's really closer to ervin murray than anything else. agree that whitt's ability to be a competent 3-pt shooter (honestly just being north of 30% might suffice) is gonna be big for him. and while murray couldn't shoot a lick, he did have an AST/TO ratio (a metric I don't necessarily love but it's okay enough short-hand) of 2:1, while Whitt is right at 1:1.
imo, alondes is a really, really solid modern-style point guard and is really advanced with his knowledge of the game. listen to his post-game comments yesterday (starts at 8:26)
