Duke Basketball: Jack White as starter could stave off stagnant starts

Duke basketball junior Jack White has no shortage of energy. No shortage of consistency. No shortage of instances when he has helped to reverse a sluggish opening stretch.

And there seems to be no convincing reason — even the implication that he is too short to play center — that the Blue Devils should have to wait in future games for a boost from the hustling Aussie who seems to have better basketball instincts than the only two non-freshmen starters thus far: juniors Marques Bolden (started the first nine games) and Javin DeLaurier (started the last two).
