High-motor USC guard whose effort and defense still pop
In USC’s 2020-21 season, Isaiah White gave the Trojans a versatile 6-foot-7 guard who played in 32 of 33 games, started 28, averaged 7.6 points and 3.4 rebounds, and led the team with 31 steals[1][13]. He was valued for his energy, rebounding, and disruptive defense, and USC even honored him with its John Rudometkin Award for maximum effort[1]. The big selling point: he brought toughness and versatility more than flash, making him the kind of competitor coaches trust when they want hustle, size, and guard skills in one package[1][8].
