Kevin David White (born 7 April 1987) is an Australian professional basketball player who last played for the Adelaide 36ers of the Australian National Basketball League (NBL).
High school career
White attended Scots College in Sydney, New South Wales, and was a member of its 2004 premiership winning basketball team.[1] He was named the New South Wales High School Basketballer of the Year during his senior year in 2005.[2]
College career
White redshirted his freshman season while attending San Diego Christian College to recover from a shoulder injury during the 2006–07 season.[2] He transferred to the University of Alaska Anchorage to play for the Seawolves, with whom he played for three seasons.[2]
Professional career
White began his professional career as a development player with the Sydney Kings during the 2010–11 NBL season.[3] Following a season with the Ballarat Miners of the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) in 2012, White returned to the Sydney Kings on a full contract.[3] He was named the club's Best Defensive Player during his third and final season with the Kings in 2014–15.[4] During the 2015 NBL offseason, he returned to the SEABL to play for the Hobart Chargers.[5]
On 15 July 2015, White signed with the Illawarra Hawks of the NBL.[4] It marked a reunion with head coach Rob Beveridge, who coached White during his junior career.[4] White served as team captain during his final two seasons with the team.[4][6] He spent the 2016 and 2018 NBL offseasons in the SEABL with the Bendigo Braves and the Rockingham Flames respectively.[7][8] Illawarra elected not to resign White following the 2018–19 NBL season to focus on the development of their younger players.[9]
On 16 May 2019, White signed with the Adelaide 36ers of the NBL.[10] He was named the team's co-captain alongside Brendan Teys for the 2019–20 NBL season.[11] On 15 April 2020, White was released by the 36ers.[12]
