Randy White (born November 4, 1967) is an American former professional basketball player. During his playing career, at a height of 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m), and a weight of 240 pounds (110 kg), he played at the power forward position. He played college basketball for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.
College career
White was a star at Louisiana Tech University, where he averaged 21.2 points and 10.5 rebounds as a senior, and earned the nicknames "Mailman II", and "Mailkid"[1] (a reference to fellow Louisiana Tech alumnus Karl "The Mailman" Malone, who White was often compared to, since they shared many traits).
Professional career
White was then selected by the Dallas Mavericks, with the eighth pick of the 1989 NBA draft, and played five seasons with them, averaging a career-high 9.7 points per game in 1992–93. He later played in the CBA, and in the international leagues, including a stop with European powerhouse Maccabi Tel Aviv, and in Italy with Pfizer Reggio Calabria, in the 1994–1995 season.
