Not exactly. Keep in mind that I'm not rating international players at all -- just haven't had a chance to do any real work evaluating what their numbers mean or the relative quality of the various leagues around the world.
White's rating was that of a late 1st to early 2nd round pick. Getting him at 49 isn't bad.
That said, White isn't all that impressive a prospect. For a PF, he's undersized and slow, but he does leap well. And he can shoot the three. Rebounding is decent, but not spectacular. The athleticism markers I look for in the numbers kinda echo the combine measures/times -- acceptable 2pt% may reflect leaping ability; relatively few steals and blocks may indicate the lack of quickness. Definitely a guy worth taking in the 2nd round, though.
