Whiteside played for Marshall University for a year , where he averaged 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.6 blocks . In the 2010 NBA draft , he was selected in the second round in 33rd place by the Sacramento Kings . However, he could not prevail in the Kings squad and played a large part of the two years in the Kings farm team , with the Reno Bighorns in the G-League . In the summer of 2012, his contract was dissolved with the Kings, where he had only made 19 missions in the two years and achieved 1.5 points and 2.1 rebounds on average.

This was followed by engagements in Lebanon and China . In China, Whiteside won several awards with the Sichuan Blue Whales .

In the summer of 2014 he returned to the USA and initially signed with the Memphis Grizzlies , which, however, released him shortly afterwards. He then played for Iowa Energy before he was signed by the Miami Heat on November 24, 2014 .

A few days later, he scored career highs of 24 points and 20 rebounds in the loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves . This was the first 20/20 game in his career. In February 2016, Whiteside recorded his third point rebounds blocks triple double of the 2015/16 season (and the fourth of his career). He also became the first player in league history to achieve two such triple doubles as a bench player.
