Congratulations to Derrick.
Good luck in Las Vegas.

Some good numbers. From all the national guys you would not realize that.
His age will be a deterrent as draft favors the young or international player.
Like the articles say he doesnt get here without the doubts and having to prove himself each step of the way

Yeah, in the 1st round and particularly the lottery, youth plays a big factor. If you look back, the late 1st round-2nd round is often filled with older guys.

White is young for a 5th year senior. He doesn't turn 23 until after the draft.

Using Draft Express, their 2nd rd mock has 12 players between the ages of 22-24.

Heck of a story this year...I hate the thought of what this year's record would have been without a player like White.

I had bookmarked this article before the season.

Still amusing that Derrick wasn't even on the 'others to watch' list, much less the top-16. He had a bigger impact than nearly everyone on the list.
