If Tom Ziller's latest NBA Mock Draft is any indication, White should be available when the Celtics make their first selection. Prior to Thursday's news, Ziller had White going No. 25 to the Memphis Grizzlies.
White averaged 13.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game with the Cyclones last season. He helped ISU to a win over UConn in the second round of the 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, putting up 15 points and 13 rebounds.
