blessed with what Stacey King or Pervis Ellison or JR Reid have "I don't think there's any way I was as gifted as the other playm who've gotten to this point" said White "If rd worked at the level they did I would I not have seen the same results as them" Those results got attention early his senior season 4 when White's team lost to Syracuse in overtime "Derrick Coleman was supposed to be so tough and Billy Owens was supposed to be good enough for the NBA right out of high school" said White "I played with them both Then I played (Oklahoma's) Stacey King and his game didn't seem much different from mine Through the whole course of the year I've come to believe I belong" The one thing White would like to dismiss in such optimism is any comparison to former Louisiana Tech standout Karl Malone now with the Utah Jazz Both White and Lloyd say despite White's background and similarity in size the differences from Malone are distinct White is a better outside shooter and Malone likely always be more fluid "They're just different" Lloyd says "Karl's so graceful So athletic Karl's a more gifted athlete" But that's never intimidated Randy White before Whites college statistics
