Wolfenbüttel GERMANY (May 1, 2009) - Just over six months ago Connor Whitman stepped on the court for his fist professional basketball game as a starting point guard for the Herzöge Wolfenbüttel. Since that time his team has completed its 30-game schedule and with Oxy's former star guard leading the way, the Herzöge have performed so well that they are expected to move from the Pro B to Pro A league next year.
