Whiteside cut by Sacramento Kings

Posted: Updated:

Former Thundering Herd hoops star Hassan Whiteside is looking for a new job.

Whiteside was cut by the Sacramento Kings.

Sacramento drafted Whiteside back in 2010 with the 33rd overall pick in the 2nd round.

He didn't pan out the way the Kings would've linked.

Whiteside played in just one game in his rookie year thanks to a knee injury and played just 19 games in the last two years, averaging nearly two points a game.

He spent the majority of his career in the NBA D-League.

In his one season at Marshall, Whiteside averaged 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.4 blocks a game.

The Kings waived Whiteside to clear space for Aaron Brooks.
