Denver Nuggets Acquire James White From Houston Rockets
By Jeremy Glasoe | September 22, 2009
According to his tweets and the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Rockets traded James White to the Denver Nuggets today.
If you don’t know who White is, he kind of reminds me of J.R. Smith. Watch the video below and you will see some of the same athleticism.
A couple of his tweets:
At 4pm im offically out of htown and in Denver
Excited bout the move to DENVER when i really think about it
White is a 6′7″, 200 lb. guard/forward. He earned the nickname Flight 75 due to his leaping ability. White was selected with the 9th pick in the second round of the 2008 NBA Development League Draft by the Anaheim Arsenal.
With little wiggle room left on the roster less than a week before training camp, the Rockets traded guard James White to Denver, largely to give him a better chance to stick with an NBA team, a person with knowledge of the move said Tuesday.
The Rockets will receive the draft rights to Axel Hervelle, a 6-9 power forward from Belgium. The Nuggets selected Hervelle in the second round (52nd overall) of the 2005 Draft.
White, fits the mold of Nuggets guards with athletic ability, although it will take some time to develop and coach up the young player.
