BIO: Jackson Thomas White was born in Traralgon (VIC) and began playing basketball as a junior with the Traralgon basketball program. White received a scholarship to attend the Australian Institute of Sport (Canberra) in 2015. He spent two years year there and played for the program’s state league team (2015, 2016).
Jack White made his NBL debut with the Cairns Taipans at 18 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
In 2016, he was called up to play for the Cairns Taipans of the NBL as an injury replacement before moving to the USA to play for Duke University.
In 2020, Jack White joined Melbourne United after playing for Duke University in the USA. United had mutually agreed to terminate Casey Prather’s contract due to ongoing injuries and adjusted their roster by adding White and Japanese star Yudai Baba (one-year deal) under the NBL Special Restricted Player contract. The team also re-signed captain Chris Goulding (three-year deal), David Barlow (one-year deal), Mason Peatling (three-year deal), and Sam McDaniel (one-year deal). Relying on local talent, United signed Scotty Hopson (via Europe) as their lone import and secured Australian Boomers forward Jock Landale (one-year deal) shortly before the season tip-off, after his contract in Lithuania was voided due to COVID travel restrictions.
During the first month of the season, White emerged as a strong contender for Rookie of the Year, averaging 9.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury against Cairns. With White requiring 12 months of rehabilitation, retired center David Andersen was signed as an injury replacement player.
Another setback occurred when Chris Goulding (15.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2 assists) was ruled out for most of February 2021. Despite the injuries, Jock Landale (16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks) led Melbourne in scoring, and the team finished the regular season in first place with a 28–8 record.
In the semifinals against the South East Melbourne Phoenix, the two Melbourne teams split the first two games played at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena due to the Victorian lockdown. Returning to Melbourne for the deciding Game 3, United overcame a 17-point deficit to win 84–74. Landale equaled his season-high with 27 points, shooting 11-13 from the floor and a perfect 3/3 from beyond the arc. Goulding (14 points) notched up his 350th game, while Mitch McCarron (11 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists), Scotty Hopson (9 points and 6 rebounds), and Jo Lual-Acuil (8 points and 3 rebounds) all contributed significantly.
Due to Western Australia’s border restrictions, the Perth Wildcats hosted the first two games of the Grand Final series. United won both games in Perth and returned to Melbourne to clinch the championship with an 81–76 victory in Game 3, in front of a sold-out crowd of 5,000 at John Cain Arena (the maximum allowed under COVID restrictions). Landale continued to impress with 15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, earning the Finals MVP award.
2021/22
After winning the 2021 championship, Melbourne lost its leading scorer Jock Landale to an NBA opportunity with San Antonio and starting point guard Mitch McCarron, who became the league’s highest-paid local player by signing a three-year deal with Adelaide. United quickly turned their attention to rebuilding the roster for the NBL22 season, re-signing Jo Lual-Acuil, David Barlow, and Shea Ili, and received a boost from the return of Jack White, who had missed the second half of the previous season due to an Achilles injury. They added free agents Brad Newley (via Sydney) and Dion Prewster, who had just won the NZNBL MVP award. Next, United secured the biggest free agent of the year, inking NBA champion Matthew Dellavedova to a three-year deal. Lastly, Caleb Agada, who had just played for Nigeria at the Olympics, replaced import Scotty Hopson, and talented young German Ariel Hukporti was added to the roster under the Next Stars program.
Outside of a 0–2 start, United were dominant all season, winning their next three games to end December and then losing only one game (5–1) in January while playing all of their games on the road. In January 2022, Goulding reached 5,000 NBL points, becoming just the second active player to reach the milestone behind Daniel Johnson (Adelaide).
In February, United won four of their five games and, with a record of 12–4, sat atop the NBL ladder where they stayed for the remainder of the season. Jo Lual-Acuil (16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks) led the team in scoring and earned selection to the All-NBL First Team, while Chris Goulding (15.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists) was named to the All-NBL Second Team. The impact of Shea Ili (8.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals) off the bench was also recognized around the league with him winning the Sixth Man of the Year award. White appeared in 26 games, averaging 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 0.9 assists, helping United finish the regular season in first place (20–8).
Tasmania finished fourth on the ladder in their first NBL season, setting up a semifinal series against United. As expected, United defeated the JackJumpers in Game 1 (74–63), but playing their first game of playoff basketball at home, Tasmania leveled the series (1-1) with a win in Game 2. Heading into the deciding Game 3, captain Goulding was deemed unfit to play, which allowed Tasmania to clamp down on the defensive end. Without Goulding, United couldn’t buy a basket from outside, with Dellavedova (1-7), Agada (0-7), White (0-5), and Baba (0-2) shooting a combined 1-21 from beyond the arc. Overall, United went 6-29 (20 percent) from three, compared to the JackJumpers’ 10-32 (31 percent). Still, United were able to keep it close, but it was only in the final moments that Tasmania secured the victory (76–73), ending Melbourne’s playoff run and making history by reaching the Grand Final in their debut season.
White’s best performance this season came during a loss to Adelaide (83–90), where he shot 8/14 from the field and finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 steals.
2024/25
Melbourne reshaped its frontcourt after falling one victory short of the championship, with Brad Newley (retired), Luke Travers (to Cleveland), Ariel Hukporti (to NBA), Jo Lual-Acuil Jr (to China), Zac Triplett (to Illawarra) and Malith Machar all exiting the club.
Chris Goulding, Matthew Dellavedova, Shea Ili, Ian Clark, Rob Loe, Flynn Cameron, Tanner Krebs and Kyle Bowen returned, while coach Dean Vickerman brought Jack White (via Denver) back on a two-year deal and added Marcus Lee (via Tasmania), Akech Aliir (via Adelaide) and development player Joel Foxwell (via NBL1).
Ili paired with Dellavedova to run the offence and apply defensive pressure to opposition guards, while White returned from two years in the NBA and G League to replace Travers as Melbourne’s leading athletic forward and primary rebounder.
United opened the season at HoopsFest with an 88-79 win over defending champion Tasmania, where Dellavedova (21 points) led the scoring, Ili (14 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals) set the defensive tone and White (14 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists) made an immediate impact, while Milton Doyle (23 points) paced the JackJumpers.
White (13.8 points and 9.4 rebounds across 27 games) became Melbourne’s second-leading scorer and leading rebounder, adding size, athleticism and the ability to defend multiple positions to United’s frontcourt.
Ili (11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals across 26 games) complemented Melbourne’s scorers with his passing and formed one of the league’s strongest defensive backcourts alongside Dellavedova.
Ili produced one of his most complete performances during Melbourne’s early road win over Perth, finishing with 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists as Clark (25 points) led the scoring, with many of his baskets coming from Ili’s passes.
One of White’s best games came in Wollongong on 24 October, where White (12 points, 19 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks) became the first non-centre in ten years to collect 19 rebounds in an NBL game as an undermanned Melbourne defeated ladder-leading Illawarra 92-87.
He followed three days later with 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists as United crushed Cairns 106-63, completing a round where he collected 32 rebounds across the two victories.
White (17 points, 17 rebounds, and 5 assists) then controlled the glass in Brisbane on 7 November as Melbourne produced 70 points during the second half of a 120-103 victory.
Goulding exploded for 46 points against Perth two days later, with Ili (5 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 steals) repeatedly creating opportunities for him as Melbourne recovered to win 106-97.
White suffered a calf injury during the Perth game and missed Melbourne’s following meeting with Adelaide before returning against Sydney on 1 December and recording his eighth double-double of the season.
White was also selected for Australia’s FIBA Asia Cup qualifying squad during the November international window for games against Thailand and Korea.
With Goulding unavailable against Brisbane on 8 December, Ili (18 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals) stepped into a larger role during Melbourne’s 122-114 loss.
Ili followed with 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists against South East Melbourne, blending his playmaking with on-ball pressure through the middle of the schedule.
White and Ili both starred in Sydney on 9 January, where White (23 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists) finished Dellavedova’s game-winning alley-oop and Ili (20 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists) provided another strong two-way performance as Melbourne edged the Kings 90-88.
White produced his best game of the season in Perth on 22 January, scoring a career-high 26 points with 16 rebounds while shooting 9-of-12 from the field as United defeated the Wildcats 99-93.
Ili delivered another major performance against Tasmania on 1 February, finishing with 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists as Melbourne secured a 94-92 victory before the playoffs.
White missed the final regular-season game with a back injury, with Melbourne defeating South East Melbourne 103-93 to complete four consecutive wins and finish second with a 19-10 record, securing direct entry into the semifinals.
Goulding (18.4 points and 2 rebounds) led United in scoring, with Clark (12.7 points), Dellavedova (10.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 7.1 assists), Loe (10.0 points and 5.7 rebounds), Lee (6.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks) and Krebs (5.3 points) joining White and Ili as Melbourne’s main contributors.
Goulding was selected to the All-NBL Second Team and received his fourth Melbourne club MVP award, while Ili won the Damian Martin Trophy as the NBL’s Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season and also received United’s Defensive Player of the Year, SHARE and fan-voted MVP awards.
Melbourne opened its semifinal series against Perth at John Cain Arena with a 105-93 win, as Goulding (41 points) made 10 three-pointers alongside Clark (22 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists), White (13 points and 10 rebounds), Lee (10 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks), Dellavedova (6 points and 9 assists) and Ili (3 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists), while Keanu Pinder (24 points and 11 rebounds), Bryce Cotton (22 points and 6 assists) and Kristian Doolittle (22 points and 9 rebounds) led Perth.

The Championship Series opened in Wollongong, where Melbourne recovered from a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat Illawarra 96-88 behind Dellavedova (18 points and 7 rebounds), Goulding (15 points and 4 assists), Lee (14 points, 15 rebounds, and 2 blocks), Clark (13 points and 4 assists), Ili (13 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals) and White (9 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 block), while Sam Froling (16 points and 7 rebounds), Will Hickey (14 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals), Todd Blanchfield (13 points) and Wani Swaka Lo Buluk (11 points and 2 steals) led the Hawks.

White joined Bayern Munich for the 2025 Basketball Bundesliga season in Germany, signing with the club on April 4, 2025 until the end of the season, and he went on to average 5.9 points and 3.7 rebounds as Bayern won the 2025 German championship.
In 2025, Jack White signed with Bayern Munich in Germany’s BBL during the NBL offseason. He later helped the club advance to the BBL Semi-Finals after a 3–0 sweep of Mitteldeutscher BC. In Game 3 of the series, White contributed 5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 block in 13 minutes, hitting one three-pointer in the win.
Signed to play the 2025/26 season in Turkey with Mersin.
White joined Mersin MSK for the 2025–26 Turkish Basketbol Süper Ligi season in Turkey, with the club announcing his signing on August 8, 2025.
Jack White played four seasons at Duke from 2016–17 to 2019–20, finishing as a four-year letterwinner who was part of ACC Tournament championship teams in 2017 and 2019, while appearing in 103 career games with 10 starts and averaging 2.7 points and 3.0 rebounds across his Blue Devils career.
White’s leadership became a defining part of his Duke profile, as he was named a team captain in each of his final two seasons (2018–19 and 2019–20), earning the captaincy “C” twice in a program where ESPN noted only a small group of players have been two-time captains, with White and teammate Javin DeLaurier both doing it in that era.
As a junior in 2018–19, White posted career-best season averages of 4.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 20.4 minutes while playing a career-high 35 games with three starts, and he produced several notable early-season performances including 9 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists against Kentucky, plus 12 points and 8 rebounds against San Diego State in Maui where he averaged 7.0 points and 6.7 rebounds across the event.
That 2018–19 campaign also included one of his signature Duke moments at Madison Square Garden, where he hit a tying three late against Texas Tech and then knocked down the go-ahead triple with six minutes left, finishing the comeback win with 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals and late free throws to help ice it.
White’s senior season in 2019–20 saw him play 30 games with seven starts while averaging 3.1 points and 2.9 rebounds in 15.6 minutes, with game highlights that included 11 points and 6 rebounds vs Wake Forest, 9 points and 5 rebounds at Clemson, 10 rebounds and 4 assists vs Georgia State, and a versatile line of 7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks at No. 11 Michigan State.
Academically, White earned All-ACC Academic Team recognition in back-to-back seasons, with Duke also noting he received CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team honours during 2018–19, and he graduated with a Duke degree in sociology in May 2020.

Until now, a complete record of the junior association responsible for developing every player to have competed in…

READ MOREIn 1984, the NBL introduced the three-point line, forever altering the geometry of Australian basketball. Since then, the league has seen traditional snipers, stretch bigs and volume scorers completely revolutionise how offenses operate and defenses scramble. But as the modern game places a premium on spacing and perimeter shooting, a critical question arises: Who are the most efficient and devastating shooters in the 40-year history of the NBL? To cut through the noise, we have to look beyond raw percentages. By combining historical spreadsheet data…

READ MOREAt some point over the next 12 months, the Boomers are going to have to make a decision that Australian basketball has managed to avoid for almost two decades. Who exactly is this team built around now? Since 2010, that answer was simple. It was Patty Mills’ team. Mills has been the primary scorer for the Boomers for nearly two decades and few Australian victories have been recorded without a major scoring performance from Patty. But as the Boomers move toward the 2027 FIBA World…
READ MOREA player arriving in the NBL with NBA experience always creates interest. Fans get excited when their team signs a former NBA player, commentators mention it during broadcasts, and every article about that player usually links their NBL performance back to their NBA résumé.
