NBA
White was drafted 36th overall by the Detroit Pistons in the 2nd round of the 2010 NBA Draft. During the Pistons first preseason game against the Miami Heat, White fractured his right foot and would consequently sit out for the remainder of his rookie season. When the Pistons selected White in the second round of the 2010 NBA draft with the 36th overall pick, they were attracted to the 6-foot-5 combo guard combination of speed and athleticism.
White became known around the league in the summer of 2010 for his extraordinary dunking abilities with a YouTube video featuring his dunk highlights during the NBA rookie orientation.[3][4]
In December 2011, the Detroit Pistons made the decision to part ways with White. White broke the news on Twitter, saying: “Just got the news from @detroitpistons that they letting me go. Really didn't get a chance because of injury. Putting it in God hands now.”[5][6][7]
White joined the training camp roster of the New Orleans Hornets in December 2011. On December 28, after being released by New Orleans, he signed with the Idaho Stampede.
