BOULDER – University of Colorado senior Derrick White earned a spot on the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division I All-District 20 Second Team the organization announced Tuesday.
White was one of 10 student-athletes named to one of the two five-player All-District squads comprising of Pac-12 Conference schools. The nod to the NABC All-District team is the latest in a well-deserved line of honors for White. The 6-foot, 5-inch guard was also selected All-Pac-12 (Coaches First Team, Associated Press Second Team), Pac-12 All-Defensive Team, All-Pac-12 Tournament Team, USBWA All-District VIII, Chauncey Billups Award (Team MVP) and received honorable mention to the Pac-12 All-Academic squad.
White led Colorado at 18.1 points, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 51 percent from the field and 81 percent from the free throw line. He was the second-leading scorer in the Pac-12 during league games at 18.5 an outing.
Overall White is third in scoring, fifth in free throw percentage, sixth in assists, seventh blocks (1.4 bpg), 11th in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.8), 13th in 3-point percentage (.396) and 14th in steals.
White finished the season with 615 points, ranking seventh in a single season, and second best by a CU transfer. He also ranks eighth in assists (148), 10th in field goals (205) and 11th in bocks. His 49 blocks are the most by a guard in a season in team history.
The Parker, Colo., native capped off an impressive season with a 30-point performance against UCF in the first round of the NIT. He became the second Buffalo to score 30 points twice in a single postseason, joining Shaun Vandiver (1991 NIT), and the first since Chauncey Billups in 1995-96 to score 30 or more four times in one season.
Colorado completed the 2016-17 season at 19-15 overall, finishing seventh in the Pac-12 at 8-10. The Buffaloes competed in postseason play, past the conference tournament round, for a school-record seventh-straight season by participating in the 2017 NIT.
