I didn’t know where to fit Jack White into this because he isn’t young, and he isn’t a veteran at age 25. He only played in 66 minutes for the Nuggets last season, as he played a majority of his season in the G-League.

In 29 G-League appearances, White averaged 18.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.9 blocks with a 67.8 TS% (56.6/43.8/76.7 shooting splits). He was quite effective on both ends of the floor and incredibly efficient.

There’s a chance that White doesn’t even make this roster. There’s 21 players currently on this roster, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him as one of the players who doesn’t quite make the cut. There will be cuts and trades. Perhaps he gets one of the Thunder two-way contracts, as he remains eligible for such. His efficiency and two-way play gives the Thunder some intrigue.
