Hawks Highlight: Andrew White III scores 15 in NBA debut

Atlanta Hawks rookie Andrew White III scored 15 points in 17 minutes off the bench Wednesday during his NBA debut against the Detroit Pistons.

White, who shot 6-of-11 from the field and 3-of-7 from the 3-point line, hit his first shot with a layup in the first quarter off an assist by DeAndre’ Bembry.

White, who went undrafted out of Syracuse in 2017, was called up from the Hawks G League Erie Bayhawks on Feb. 11.

Last season with Syracuse, White averaged 18.5 points and shot 40.3 percent beyond the arc.

Here are White’s first-half highlights from the Hawks’ 108-94 loss to the Pistons:
