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."
