COLUMBIA, MD Greg Whittington s pro basketball career has taken him to Australia, Japan, Israel and Turkey. After spending much of last season with the NBA s Denver Nuggets, the Oakland Hills alum and former Georgetown Hoya is on the move again, to Krasnodar, Russia.
Late Wednesday, PBC Lokomotiv Kuban, which reached the semifinals of the Russia s top basketball league last season, announced it had signed the 6-foot-8 Whittington for the 2021-22 season. We got a versatile forward, Kuban coach Evgeny Pashutin told the club s website. He is dangerous from the perimeter and acts very well in the paint. He is an aggressive, powerful player. He has a quick first step, makes good use of his athletic ability, loves dynamic basketball with a quick transition from defense to attack, which meets our standards.
