White signed a two-year contract Friday with B.C. Zenit Saint Petersburg of the Russian VTB United League, CSN Mid-Atlantic's J. Michael reports.
White, a second-round pick by the Wizards in 2014, spent last season in Germany before rejoining the NBA club for summer league play this past month. In five Las Vegas Summer League appearances, the former Iowa big man averaged 7.2 points and shot 29.4 percent from three-point range. With the Wizards not confident that White could be a capable stretch four at the NBA level just yet, the 6-foot-8 forward will continue to hone his craft abroad. The second year of his contract includes an NBA out clause, so he could conceivably join the Wizards in 2017-18 if he submits a strong season in Russia.
