It seems like we have the same assessment of White.  If you noticed, I said he was below average defensively both at the top of the zone and the wing of the zone.  Where we disagree is where to hide him.  I think he's best hidden at the top of the zone where being 6'7 will help him, and where I'm not overly worried about penetration because we have shot blockers.  Our wings have to cover a lot of ground and being 6'7 will hurt him on the wing, so I worry about him more in that position, but reasonable minds can differ on this point.  In the end it wont matter.  Boeheim will employ him wherever the particular opponent we happen to be playing is least capable of exploiting.  And on those days when White's offense is not making up for his defense White can ride the bench.

Also, while I don't think White will ever be a great defender, I do think he'll become serviceable.   We need to give him at least a month.  He's the only new guy who has to learn two positions in the zone.
