He looked like a scared little girl out there. Give him another season or two. And eat a sandwich or something, for God's sake.
Wtf?

OH NO, you're going to get them started.
Nah, the love affair is over...what else could explain this lack of tribute to the man.
He was pretty well discussed in the game thread.
His Shot Needs Some Work, And He's Still Rough Around The Edge's But I Still Have Faith In Him!
James "flight" White!!!
White has put up much better scoring numbers in limited minutes in two blow-out games than I expected. 7.5 ppg is nothing to sniff at.
Howsat?
Yeah I know...and I like the kid and hope he ultimately is a success in the league.
He's got a pretty nice drive to the hoop. I wonder why Indiana didnt sign him.
For 25 years old (not really that young these days), he's not a very good basketball player.
There are many players 3 - 5 years younger who are having much bigger impact, are more credible NBA players.
For a guy who probably been serious about nothing but basketball for the last 10 years, and with his legs, he's really not very accomplished.
It's taken older guys longer to make it in the NBA. I refer you to Bruce Bowen. White has some good skills and has already scored at a better clip than scads of younger and older players who had a cup of coffee in the league. That's not saying a whole lot, but if he maintains a good at ude and willingness to learn, he could stick in the league somewhere. I still think the odds are against him, especially as a Spur, but it's certainly not over for him.
You forgot one!
Why is he 25? Was he not drafted right out of college?
Maybe they all took the "morning after" pill?
He'll be 25 in late October. He's older because he transfered early on from Florida.
I thought he transferred from Miami. You know, the U.
James White!
I like what I saw. It wasn't alot, but it wasn't a little. Its obvious he needs more work, but he's aggressive and assertive with the limited time he has been given.
All of Florida is the same to me. Damn Rednecks.
Didn't see that game but saw he shot six free throws in limited minutes. So he must of at least been pretty aggressive while he was in the game.
I've liked what I've seen out of White. Plays with a lot of confidence and isn't scared of anything.
He has shown to be a pretty good ballhandler, a surprisingly good passer and a willing defender. I haven't seen too many negatives out of him on the court.
For a guy to come off the bench 60+ games into his rookie year and step in and have two solid outings is more than you'd get out of most players. If he keeps working hard, plays well in summer league and in next year's training camp, I think he's a player you keep on the active roster and let fight for playing time.
And actually, with Barry and Bowen both having back issues at times this year, I think you have to really think about adding him to the playoff roster.
Will Pop even consider this angle as a viable one?
Somewhere on the forum, it had an article that the playoff rosters can be 15 this year and just have 3 inactives before every game (just like the regular season). I don't know if that's true or not.
Playoff roster size will be expanded from 13 to 15 players, with each team designating 12 active players and up to three inactive players prior to each game.
“Our owners are intent on making the playoff seeding more fair for all teams going forward and in quickening the pace of the end of games,” said Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations. “The Board also thought it made sense to allow teams to utilize the same 15-man roster in the playoffs that they use during the regular season.”

he is going to demand defensive attention and is pretty much going to be fouled everytime he drives...
