Former Kansas Jayhawks guard Tre White emerged as one of the Miami Heat’s standout performers in four Las Vegas Summer League games — contests that followed his two appearances in the California Classic in San Francisco.
White, a 6-foot-7, 23-year-old Dallas native, closed the Heat’s summer schedule by scoring 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting (4-of-9 from 3-point range) in Miami’s 101-87 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday at Thomas&Mack Center on UNLV’s campus.
He also had four rebounds, three assists and one turnover — plus a highlight-reel one-handed dunk after accepting a pass in the paint and storming to the goal.
Overall White registered an impressive plus-15 differential with just the one turnover in his extended playing time of 32 minutes.
In a starting role at Vegas, White scored 19 points versus the Toronto Raptors, 16 versus the Milwaukee Bucks and 13 versus Orlando Magic for a 17.3 scoring average.
White — he was not taken in the 2026 NBA Draft — hit 43.8% of his shots at the Vegas event, including 40% from 3-point range. He averaged 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists against 0.5 turnovers in 29.2 minutes per game.
White averaged 13.5 points on 47.1% shooting (3 of 7 from 3-point range) and 4.0 rebounds in two games at the recent California Classic.
After the draft, White, who played one season of college hoops at KU, one at Illinois, one at Louisville and one at USC in a four-year college career, signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Heat.
That granted him a summer-league roster spot and invitation to preseason training camp. If he is waived by Miami before the regular season begins but spends at least 60 days with Miami’s G League affiliate (Sioux Falls), he could earn a bonus of $91,000.
The contract can be converted to a two-way deal up until opening night.
“He’s got all the intangibles,” Heat summer league coach Wayne Ellington told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Friday. “He’s got the size. He’s got the shooting ability. He’s got the IQ. So he’s a guy that is going to continue to get better. I look forward to see what he can do in his future.”
White capped his four-year college career by averaging 13.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists during his senior season (2025-26) with the Jayhawks. He hit 45.0% of his shots, 40.3% from deep, while averaging 31.3 minutes in 35 games (all starts).
“Although never in Round 1 consideration, White remained on draft boards throughout the 2025-26 season because of his combination of size, shooting and versatility,” read his NBA scouting report at bleacherreport.com. “Evaluators viewed him as the type of wing who could fill a complementary role at the next level, and at 6-7, 215 pounds, he possesses prototypical wing size.”
