Hadn't seen this posted - though it may have been - but I thought I'd put it up.

Interesting player. Obviously not expected to see PT early and will have to develop his game. Doesn't show a strong perimeter game in these highlights though he does bang down a couple of threes - he also passes up a lot of shots.

But, several things to like about his game also (and I suppose he'll surprise some players in practice). He's pretty athletic and has some hops (notice the dunk at 0:56!). He is unselfish and passes a good bit to teammates setting them up. He also seems to like to play defense, keeps his arms extended, gets a lot of tips, hustles, and also attacks the boards - getting a number of offensive rebounds. And, though he shoots right, he uses his left hand really well and can drive to his left and right. So there are some elements there that could develop for him. Just needs to stay all four years.

I can see him occasionally being inserted the first couple of seasons, due to his hustle and willingness to work on D - perhaps when K gets frustrated with the starters or first 7-8.

Thanks for the post, this is the first I have seen of him, and I really like what I see. He has very good "court vision" and is very unselfish. He also seems to be the type that is not afraid to "take over" a game if need be, which is very rare. I like his shot (when he takes it) and his passing. Definitely not afraid to go to the hole! Should he stay for four (4) years, he could very easily become a Duke favorite. If he is patient and can wait, he will really benefit from the players that he will practice against every day. A hardy "welcome" to you Mr. White.
Go Duke!!

Looks like he has a nose for the ball and some other nice intangibles. LIke his 3 ball and foul shooting. Is he a legit 6'6"?
