Although he has graduated from summer-league competition at his $98 million pay grade, it doesn't mean Hassan Whiteside has given up on summer hoops.

Enter the Drew League, the Southern California competition that keeps NBA players in shape during the offseason while also freeing them from the constraints of NBA structure.

That had the Miami Heat's shot-blocking big man taking to the court over the weekend and winding up as the circuit's Player of the Week.

Playing for Team Scrapes and Gravel, Whiteside closed his cameo appearance with 30 points on 13-of-20 shooting (let's see if he now gets that many shots in a game for the Dwyane Wade-less Heat), nine rebounds, 6 blocked shots three steals.
