Would he get any time on this team right now? Probably just junk minutes and a chance to develop ala Butler. It will be interesting to see what he can do if given the time to develop
I just finished listening the the part where Carlisle mentions the possibility, and it sounded more like a certainty to me. I hope it's true. As far as playing time, he will probably sit on the bench in close games, but with a lead, I can see him being the second SF. Finley would be the second SG, and Barry would swing around whenever needed. If this happens tomorrow, I will be extremely happy in the pants...much more than I am now. I'll be right back...

That's James White completing one of the best dunks in basketball history.

It's safe to say the Spurs would be signing the 2007 Slam Dunk Champion.
And to think that a week ago I was behaving all pessimistic (as usual) about what might be one of the most lackluster Spurs seasons in recent memory due to what I felt was a brutal summer.
James White looks deadly
probably give us more media attention
i think if he works out, than bowen could probably play on after his contract expire, play from the bench for a couple of minutes.....
Draftexpress and other sites have listed the players eligible for the NBDL draft. Lots of cut players on there, like Darius Washington and Denham Brown, but no James White. I don't know what it takes to be eligible, but not being there suggests someone has essentially signed him.
Add that to the Carlysle quote and this guy seems a Spur.
It won't happen.
looks like he could be a keeper......DO IT SPURS!
That very first dunk - none of his foot even touched the FT line and he made it easy. That music was funny and horrible at the same time.
Wow.
Im hoping this is true.
This guy looks like Stephen Jackson but, with better hops.
in the video......is that like a regulation size court........?

.WOW!!!!!
This is going to be such a colossal let down if he doesn't end up in SA.
true that
Holy !!!
I was praying for this guy on draft day
Well he got waived Monday, so he's completely cleared waivers. It will be great if the Spurs get him. He can fly and maybe be groomed under Bruce.
does he make love to pressure?
James White would be a very solid pickup. He can flat out fly. No doubt he'd win the dunk contest.
But my favorite dunker is still Kadour Ziani. 5 Foot 10 with a 57 inch vert!!!

Uh oh. Guy wears #21. That has to change.
@ Kori's sig.
All the indications are positive. Dayum, give this guy a contract already!
Don't want to get my hopes up. Too many good things in a 24-hour period. First Elson makes even the supporters eat some amount of crow, and now they could potentially get a GREAT player.
Josh Howard? Yeah, if they get him, Dirk should worry. He'd get Brucy ALL game.
I don't know White at all but one thing his sure Spurs were looking for "a young athletic swingman" and he is that kind of players.
Darn good reccomendation:
James White was cut by the Indiana Pacers on October 30th, 2006, with coach Rick Carlisle saying his release was the most difficult cut he's been involved with in his coaching career. The 6-foot-7 guard/forward from Cincinnati averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in eight preseason games.

Let us pray
Lawd, could this be the athletic swingman that we've all been clamoring for?
BTW since I do not know much about him, I wanted to ask everyone what is it about this player that makes everyone believe that he can play "Spurs style, Bowen-type" perimeter defense?
