The Miami Heat have filled out their training camp roster by signing Greg Whittington.
Whittington was a summer league standout for the Heat, playing in both the Orlando and Vegas Summer Leagues while averaging 9.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game.
Assistant coach Dan Craig, who coached the Heat in the summer league, praised Whittington's contribution:
"I think what's great about Greg is he has a good feel for the game," Craig said. "He has the versatility to be a playmaker. When the defense puts two men on the ball, we throw it back to him and we get him on the roll. He's a really skilled playmaker. He makes some high-IQ plays at that four position. And defensively, he's a presence up on the rim, he's athletic, can defend the rim. He rebounds very well, and he's mobile, in case you want to switch and have him guard perimeter, he's able to do that. On both ends of the court, I speak for the entire staff, we were really impressed with him."
