Since scoring 32 points in his bj-league debut, Wendell White has been a tone-setter for the Eastern Conference's top team.

The Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix standout averaged 16.2 points and four assists per game in April, helping the club win six of eight games and maintain its spot atop the standings.

When he wasn't scoring, White, a steady leader and fundamentally sound player, was getting his teammates involved on the offense. If he wasn't credited with an assist, he often made a pass that led to an assist.
