Welcome "Flight"


The Rockets signed James "Flight" White to a 10-day contract today, though he was not in uniform for tonight's game against the Raptors. White is most known for his spectacular dunks, but is anxious to show the NBA that he has become much more than just a dunker.

James played for the University of Florida in his freshman year before transferring to Cincinatti for three years. He was drafted in the second round of the D-League draft last year by the Anaheim Arsenal. He leads the D-League in scoring this season at 26 ppg.

Following Wednesday's game against the Jazz, the Rockets will be at home for four days, so White will have some practice and game time to show what he can do. After that, the schedule gets pretty difficult with some important games against Western Conference opponents. The window is narrow, but it's open. Fly high, James.
