Bump this thread and make fun of me if he doesn't have a better year than the 11-12 Fields.
White will be a solid backup for Carmelo:are you saying he will start, like Landry?
I mean, I love the fact we signed such a freakish athlete who has grown oversees.
But, if we sign an OJ Mayo or Randy Foye, and retain JR, I'm not sure he'll even be in the rotation.
Lin
Mayo?
Melo
Stat
Tyson
Smith
Kidd
Novak
Jeffries
Camby/Brand/Lewis/Harrelson?
White would have to really impress for Woodson to give him more than 15mins a night

Isn't James White known for hsi ability to attack the rim and dunk?
Those videos show me this dudes hangtime is like MJ
Whites vertical looks better than Fields and looks more athletic.
Nice pickup by the Knicks, I hope he can play some decent defense and hit an open jumper
Good assessment of White. Border line D-Leaguer that had a couple of cups of coffees in the NBA. White has always been a mystery to me, decent outside shot and can knock down the 3, great leaper but average speed with the ball because of his handle and as you say can't create his own shot.He can dunk, but oddly enough, he can't attack the rim. His handle isn't good enough. On wide open breakaway dunks, sure, he can attack the rim. If only those were worth more than 2 pts...
I used to follow him starting from when he was in college at Cincy. I wanted to see him make the league and get in the dunk contest so bad. Until I saw Gerald Green chin to the rim last year, White was the most explosive bball leaper I'd ever seen, yes even more explosive than MJ.
But I lost track of him and lost interest after realizing he's just not very good. Unless he improved dramatically over in Europe, he's just a sideshow circus act.
I hope I'm wrong. It looks like Green has polished his game up to become more than just a dunker, so maybe White has done the same...
