In White’s high school video, he often goes to the left corner, so he can wait for lobs of dribble penetration, or kick out passes where he can drive or shoot that corner three.

He does have some three point makes out there in his video, but of course they only show his made shots, and finding a reliable three point percentage for White seems to be difficult. He doesn’t have a reputation as a shooter, but teams would still be hesitant to just let him shoot open threes.

With that in mind, I could see offensive sets with White in the left corner, George and Kyle/Souare running the high pick and roll, with Kingz in the right corner, and Anthony/Starling/Fennell on the other wing, above the foul line.

Lots of spacing, and White might be enough of a threat in that corner to prevent help defense from doubling from White’s corner to smother George on the pick and roll.

Really, you just trust that George is going to make it to the basket, or find the open man, whether it’s Kyle on the job (this should happen a lot this year) or one of the three guys on the perimeter.

It also gives you White and Kyle as offensive rebounders while the perimeter players get back on transition defense.

I think that play would hold up, as long as you have two competent shooters in addition to White, George and a center. Nobody is going to want Kingz, Fennell and Anthony taking open threes. They don’t even really want Starling taking open threes, but they might have to accept a lot of Kyle dunks off the lob to prevent us getting open threes. George is really good finding the open man.
