<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Pacers rookie James White was thought of as a defensive specialist while at the University of Cincinnati. White, six preseason games into his professional career, has found out quickly that he no longer can do the same things defensively he did in college. The shooting guard has been stuck with a confused look on numerous occasions after being called for touch fouls on the perimeter. White, considered the Pacers' second-best on-the-ball defender, has two things going against him. He's likely to get whistled more often than others because he's a rookie and the league has put an emphasis on hand contact on the perimeter. White also has to adjust to not being able to question officials about calls. "Rookie players are going to have a tougher adjustment than veterans," Carlisle said. "He's starting to figure it out now. He just has to continue to be aware and be ready to move his feet."</div> Source
