Imani Whittington brings length, toughness, and two-way versatility to Columbia
Imani Whittington is a 5-foot-11 G/F for Columbia whose value has always come from versatility, defensive activity, and the kind of physical, high-motor play coaches love. In her earlier Columbia seasons, she showed real rebounding punch for a wing, including an 8.0 rebounds-per-game stretch in 2016-17 before an injury cut that season short, which flags both impact and a durability question. She also flashed efficient scoring and steals production, making her more than a hustle player—she can fill gaps, defend multiple spots, and change a game’s energy.
