Since we were rumored to be interested in Green last year and rumored to be interested in White this year what do people think? Who is the higher jumper? Better Dunker? Better Player?

Better dunker has nothing to do with which is better, nor does it even mean a decent baller.

James White is the better jumper, dunker, and player....

He has world class athleticism and hops, the dude may when this year's dunk contest, and he is a seasoned college veterans with a wide range of good tools....

James White is quite possibly the best dunker ever. Seriously, he can do windmills and go inbetween his legs from the FREE THROW LINE. If he enters the dunk contest, they might as well just give him first place.

Gerald green will be a good ballplayer in the league. I caught some boston games and he didn't look sure of himself or what he was supposed to do. Despite that he played pretty well and once he gets it the sky is the limit. I don't know too much about white but what i've heard i like. I'd rather have green based on potential but at this point I think we'll all take what we can get.

Ive followed James White since high school.. the only reason why he doesnt win dunk contests is because he tries to do what most would consider impossible.. and when he misses its only because he loses grip of the ball, not because he cant make it

White will be the first player in history to dunk from the free throw line in an NBA Regulation game. If my life was on the line with the greatest dunkers, DUNKERS in history, Id take White in a heartbeat

If James White is so good, how come he's not projected to even go lottery?

he has all the superstar tools, but mentally they say he's never thought like a superstar which is what had the college analyst so frustrated, they say he could have been a superstar, but with PJax and Kobe I think it could help him mentally, they say potential wise, athleticism-wise, and skillset wise James White is a top 3 pick in this draft...

I never really watch White play in NCAA,
but I do know he is a sick dunker!!
The problem is can he shoot and handle the ball??

they didn't say anything about Wafer, they just said he was a good dunker, quick, and like to throw up a lot of shots but had a good stroke, I heard that whenever he got the ball in practice, players would automatically say "Pass!"

He can shoot very well, actually they said in his workouts he was impressive, but his handles are just decent, he can't run a NBA offense yet...

No one should be banking on White to be an initiator.

Some athleticism at the small forward position coming off the bench would be a plus.

no, better dunker, better athleticism, more length, more explosive, quicker, better handles, better natural defender, and better shooter than what George was when he came out of the draft.....

Are you kidding?

It's his skills and intangibles that scouts worry about. Athleticism is the last question mark when it comes to James White. Great size, quickness, length, and athleticism. Probably the best athlete of the draft.

Well it has been noted about his ability to finish in the lane because he is pretty skinny and just can't take the hit.
