College career
Stanley Whittaker graduated from Keiser University in West Palm Beach, Florida.[1] While at Keiser, Whittaker was a two-time NAIA All-American.[2]
Club Career
After his college education, Stanley Whittaker suffered several professional and personal setbacks. His coach passed away and Whittaker couldn't find a job in basketball for two years. He kept in touch with his sport through training children.[1]
In 2019 he had the first engagement with BC Jonava where he played a few games during the 2019–20 LKL season (Second Lithuanian league).[1]
Fortunately for Whittaker, in January 2020, several players from UBSC Graz were involved in a betting scandal so Graz needed replacement players at short notice. Although Whittaker barely had time to settle in Austria, he scored over 18 points per game in his first season and averaged eight assists. He even improved this record in the 2020–21 Austrian Basketball Superliga with an average of over 21 points and eight assists. Besides being the league's best scorer, he also served as team captain for UBSC Graz.[1]
In August 2021, he signed with PS Karlsruhe Lions of the German ProA.[1][3] He scored over 22 points, got over 5 rebounds and made over 6 assists per game in 34 games for the PS Karlsruhe Lions.[4]
In June 2022, he signed with s.Oliver Würzburg of the German Basketball Bundesliga.[4]
