White averaged 4.1ppg and 1.6rpg in 11 minutes per contest with shooting splits of 43/34/91 for the Hawks last season.

Illawarra Hawks President and Co-Owner, Dorry Kordahi, said the acquisition of White adds to the impressive young core of the Hawks.

"Isaac [White] grew into his role with the club last year and we are excited to have him rejoin the squad for the upcoming season. He is another strong addition to our young group, he's a great Australian talent and we can't wait to see what he can produce in 2021/22," Kordahi said. 

Illawarra Hawks head coach, Brian Goorjian, said he was looking forward to building on White's impressive end to the 2020-21 season.

"Isaac [White] got better and better as the season wore on. He's an elite shooter, he works hard in defence, and he showed great energy both on and off the court last season so I'm happy he's coming back and I look forward to helping him take his game to another level," Goorjian said. 

Over his last 10 games of the 2020/21 season, White enjoyed a bump in minutes and averaged 7.4ppg while shooting just under 40 percent from deep.

White joins Sam Froling. Emmett Naar, Akoldah Gak, Tyler Harvey, Dan Grida and Max Darling on the Illawarra Hawks 2021/22 roster.
