THE JOURNEY
Overcoming COVID-19 Setbacks
After the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted his plans, Jimmy Whitt faced significant challenges. Unable to attend the Summer League and without professional play for a year, he remained resilient. In 2021, he was invited to the Cleveland Charge tryout and made the G-League team, playing during the 2021-2022 season before being waived.
Making an Impact in Mexico
Jimmy's determination paid off in 2022 when he joined Mexico's CIBACOPA league. During his 2022-2023 season, Jimmy became an All-Star, leading the league in two-pointers made and ranking second in both points per game and field goal percentage, solidifying his status as a standout player.
Joining the Santa Cruz Warriors
In 2023, Jimmy joined the Santa Cruz Warriors, playing the entire 2023-2024 season and averaging 4.9 points per game with a 53% field goal percentage. His journey reached a new milestone in 2024 when he made the Warriors Summer League roster, bringing him one step closer to his NBA dreams.
