Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Over the years, Whiteman's name has done the rounds with wicketkeeper slot being in jeopardy after Brad Haddin's retirement. The volatile Matthew Wade did decently while the likes of Peter Nevill was also tried at before the stunning recall of Tim Paine for the 2017-18 Ashes series. Amidst all this, young Whiteman continues to be in the radar due to his effective glovework and attacking batsmanship.
Finger injuries have hit Whiteman a couple of times, most recently in mid-2017 when he injured his finger. It has proved to be a serious injury and has forced him to miss a large chunk of the Sheffield Shield season. A comeback time frame hasn't been mentioned due to the seriousness of the injury but one hopes that the talented bloke returns fit and healthy at the earliest. Being a southpaw also gives him an advantage over the young prospects eyeing the wicketkeeper batsman slot. Whiteman has been a reliable batsman for his State side and is expected to be blooded into international white-ball cricket sooner than later.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A highly-regarded wicketkeeper-batsman, Sam Whiteman was born in Yorkshire but moved with his family to Australia at the age of three and grew up in the Bunbury region of Western Australia. He made his first-class debut early in the 2012-13 season and became a regular member of the Western Australia side, playing eight Sheffield Shield matches that summer for 422 runs at 26.37. His work during the 2013-14 season was even more impressive - 687 runs at 45.80, placing him sixth on the Shield run tally, combined with 45 dismissals, the most of any keeper. His efforts earned him a call-up to the Australia A side for their four-day matches against India A in 2014. Although Whiteman might well be a future Australia wicketkeeper, he says he would have seriously considered pursuing a career in England had further opportunities arisen while he was there playing league cricket as an 18-year-old.
