He shot 57.9% on two-pointers over that two-year period and had the second-highest total scoring, 602 points, behind only Brandon Davies.

Before joining Zalgiris, White played two seasons in the 7DAYS EuroCup, first with Telekom Baskets Bonn and then with Zenit St Petersburg, averaging 10.1 points and 5.6 over a total of 26 games. He has also played for AX Armani Exchange Milan of Italy and Iberostar Tenerife of Spain.
