    In a league that prides itself in developing players, no one player has shown as much improvement this season as NBA D-League All-Star James White of the Anaheim Arsenal. The 6’7” White is second in the league in scoring with 25.8 points per game and has scored 20 or more points in 21 consecutive games. White will be one of four players participating in the D-League's Slam-Dunk Contest on Friday night, as well as the D-League All-Star game on Saturday afternoon (NBA TV, 4 PM EST).

    I hope it's kosher to still talk about ex-Spur players. White is one of those... sort of. There was no doubt he had athletic skills when he was here. But you don't have to read between the lines to understand why he wasn't a great fit with the Spurs. Maybe he is getting a handle on his at ude, if it lasts. (Three weeks is not exactly a proven track record.) It's a little reminiscent of Stephen Jackson in some ways.

    In his own words:

    “Everybody thinks I have a bad at ude or I’m a bad guy because I show emotion. But that’s what fuels me to play, my emotion.”

    He also now understands that he needs to control his emotion on the court. Earlier in the season, White would often contest calls the referees made, but he realizes that they are just doing their job and he needs to stay focused.

    “I’m trying to calm down and leave the refs alone. The last three or four weeks I’ve really been working at it.”

    he should become the d-league slam dunk champ soon enough.

    hopefully his improvement will get him a spot in the nba by seasons end.
