In the 2014-15 season, Whittington spent time with the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League and worked out with them, and practicing to become familiar with the pace of playing to players at NBA level. Since his ACL is being healing at this point, Whittington was considered yet ready to play so he had to wait another season without action.

In May and June 2015, Whittington took part in pre-draft workouts with the Indiana Pacers and the Boston Celtics. The Celtics’ director of player personnel, Austin Ainge, said of Whittington, “He came in shape which is good. It’s sometimes hard outside an organized program to stay in shape, and he did. He came in, in shape and played pretty well.” Whittington ultimately went undrafted in the 2015 NBA draft and joined the Miami Heat for the 2015 NBA Summer League. He struggled in Orlando before turning it around in Las Vegas, where he led the Heat in minutes and rebounds. He also looked much more comfortable on the floor, which helped him to a more impressive offensive showing. He earned high praise from Heat assistant coach Dan Craig, with Craig saying “He’s been great at getting us into second situations and then defensively, you can do a lot with him. You can switch him on the perimeters, he can rebound, protect the rim for you, and he can bust out and create breaks so he adds a nice dimension.” Over nine total Summer League games for the Heat, Whittington averaged 9.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

Whittington is the son of the late Gregory and Jana Lisa Whittington, and has an older sister, Hana, and a younger brother, Cortez. Just days into his stint with Sydney in 2016, Whittington’s father died after a long battle with cancer.

Whittington was not able to play in any game for the Hoyas in the beginning of the 2013-14 season because of an injury to his ACL sustained during the summer. He removed from the team on November 30, 2013. In mid-December, he was transferred into Rutgers University and committed to playing for the head coach Eddie Jordan. But, he sparked controversy in the following month after he did not enroll with Rutgers during the semester of spring.
