Royce White scored 30 points and had 19 rebounds Wednesday night to lead the London Knights of the Canadian National Basketball League to the Central Division Finals.
The former Minnesota prep star and Gophers recruit has dominated the Canadian league all season. White is among the top four scorers, top two rebounders, has a top five field-goal percentage and one of the league's assist leaders.
While these numbers and success in the postseason are nice, Royce is back in national headlines this month after being touted “The most important basketball player alive” by Esquire magazine.
