DJ White was the B1G Player of the Year in 2008, the same year he was a consensus 2nd-team All-American with the Indiana Hoosiers.
He was later the 29th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder, the start of a professional career that spanned nearly a decade and a half and took him to China, Italy, Turkey, and South Korea.
In August, White retired from basketball, but his involvement with the game will continue in a different capacity. The Thunder on Thursday announced that he would become a video analyst with the team:
We’re pleased to welcome DJ White, a member of the inaugural team, as a video analyst working with the coaching staff.
