Draft net and espn have him going to San antionio. Could be a good fit. People talk about oversees but I would think even if he's not on an nba roster playing in the d league gives a guy like him a much better chance of being in the nba. If sheehey, Aaron craft and keith appling are in the d league, white could be too.
White's chances in the NBA?
- Thread starter LaoHawk
- Start date
The problem with the D League is the lack of financial compensation associated with it. I know several guys who played in Europe, South America, and other overseas destinations and they all came back with a nice amount of cash in the bank.
Sam Vicinie at CBS Sports does not show White getting drafted.
Draft Express has White going to the 76ers at number 58. We will all find out tomorrow.

He does here: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/draft/prospect-rankings
Has him at 56. Where were you looking (link)?
I saw today that he has worked out for 16 teams. That certainly shows some serious interest. Now, Olaseni has worked out for 12, and it'd be a total shocker to see him get drafted. Both will, at a minimum, have a FA chance to make a summer league team. Hopefully each makes the most of that chance. It'd be great to see as many Hawkeyes in the NBA as possible.

Your link shows a list of 100 prospects, not a predicted draft. The writer's mock draft does not have White being selected.
Regardless of drafted or not, this writer shows a lot of respect for White. Just look at guys ranked lower than him!
Dez Wells, Branden Dawson, Petteway, Scott......and only THREE Big Ten players listed ahead of White.
Really good for. John wall and Bradley Beal might be the second best backcourt in the NBA and he could run the floor for them if he gets some playing time. Will have to earn PT but it's a good team and well deserved for him!
So I guess it is a case of Vecenie hedging his bets by having multiple lists with different players. Well, it is a moot point now. White DID get drafted and better than this nut predicted.
Agreed. White could do well with a team that plays a lot of transition ball and emphasizes his strengths.
Looks like White will be playing overseas- Link: Wizards draft pick expected to explore other options
Definitely understand him doing this. Getting drafted to an NBA team will give him a chance to make more money overseas.

It sounds like he would have a pretty difficult time making the team. Instead of sticking around for 4 months and then trying to find someplace to move his family, this will give him a sure gig and better security.
I don't know how many college kids take 6 months to make choices after graduation? Most I guess? Take your shot at the league possibly get a few year deal like Marble did for a million. Just my opinion. A 10 year career in Europe will be there in a year also no doubt.
Wizards reporter tweeted today said he spoke to agent and white will play in summer league and then decide if he stays in wahington or goes overseas. We shall see but probably this depends on how he does in summer league

As I was saying. He will have a nice run and make some good jing.
Gabe, in the other hand, is going to play in the league one of these days. Might be a couple of years but he will get a shot.

The last report I saw was yesterday afternoon on twitter that him and the wizards will decide after summer league if he plays for washington or overseas. Will ave to play well in summer league to be on their roster.
Gabe seems to be the kind of "big" the nba wants in terms of blocking shots and cleaning up the garbage and offensive rebounding. Even though he does not haw much of a post game, the nba has less and less post game today. Might carve out a role doing the things Tristan thompson or serge Ibaka does, probably not near their level doing it though.

I've said for years Gabe was the most likely of Fran's players to stick in the nba.
To think how far he progressed in 4 years is impressive and hell probably be significantly better in 4 more years.
