Jahidi White = Oliver Miller! He's Baaaaaccckkkkk!

Hmm... Guy that's short in height for a center, but takes up a lot of space and has a long wingspan. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, Oliver Miller!!

Actually, I think White is a good pick up with what's available and what we have now. We have been going small ball whenever Jake or Amare sit with foul trouble, or we bring in Googs who is VERY poor on offense this year AND he isn't playing any defense!!!
When Scott Williams gets healthy, maybe Googs gets a case of "back Spasms." I see White playing a little power forward and center. This doesn't make up for a bad coin flip over thirty years ago that still haunts us, but at the end of the day Brevin Knight for Jahidi White makes us a better team, period!

You can take it to the bank that it will be Trybanski headed to the injured list when Scott Williams comes back. That is unless someone is truly injured.

Jahidi White wishes he had Oliver Miller's talent.

On the other hand, White has proven that he can keep his weight down.


White is a big addition to the team, literally and figuratively. I think he gives the Suns a chance to accomplish something in the playoffs this year.

man, jahidi's mean streak and build with miller's talent would be an all-star center, lack of height or not.

And Oliver Miller should be wishing that he had Jahidi's sense of responsibility.

Taking your job seriously -- what a player does with his talent -- is just as important as his potential skill level.

I used to see Oliver at the Paradise Valley Mall, during his playing days here. He acted like an overgrown child. Amare doesn't. LeBron doesn't.

As he demonstrated in his first game with the Suns, Jahidi brings defense, rebounding, setting picks, inside scoring, and being happy with his role.

He and Jake might just be the best Center combination the Suns have ever had. I'm glad to see him here!

Jahidi White reminds me alot more of Mark West than Oliver Miller.

He is similar in:

lean to fat ratio
defense
offensive repetoire (quick dunk)
strength
work ethic

Right now, a young Mark West is not a bad deal at all for this team.

A young Mark West with 50 additional pounds. Yesssss!

Does that mean that Jahidi is going to become a stockbroker?
