White played for the Denver Nuggets last season as part of a two-way contract with the NBA Champions. Jack White's first season saw him participate in just 17 games, scoring one point and grabbing one rebound per game while shooting 42% from the field. White played most of the season for the Grand Rapids Gold, a G-League team affiliated with the Denver Nuggets. With 43% from beyond the arc on 97 attempts, 61% from within the arc, and 18 points per game, White crushed the G-League opposition. Following the acquisition of Victor Oladipo from the Miami Heat and the trade for Vasilije Micic from the EuroLeague, the OKC Thunder signs Jack White.
White's transition from a two-way contract to an NBA regular contract is a significant improvement. The Oklahoma City Thunder are already three standard contracts over the 15-pact maximum, which is an unusual situation.
