Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)

[BatManu20]

Oldest player in the draft at 23 and played D-3 ball his first couple years of college. Crazy story. But kid can play. Definitely a Spurs type player.

[benefactor]

Thanks faggot...they haven't even picked yet.

[thekingrobert]

over Frank Jackson, hmmm

[BatManu20]

Thanks faggot...they haven't even picked yet.

Lol I posted it literally 3 seconds before they called it on my broadcast. You must be behind. Calm your tits.

[Play Boban]

AWFUL PICK.

[timtonymanu]

They drafted another fathead lol

[kaji157]

They actually did. And it was white.

[benefactor]

So another Murray?

rofl

[spurraider21]

goodbye patty

[SPURt]

Welp, this was a disappointing draft.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

If he works his ass off he can become a player, I like the pick until I dont. The front office knows better than any of us.

[Mr. Body]

Crafty and scrappy. Sure.

[NASpurs]

They drafted another fathead lol

:lmao :lmao :lmao first thing I thought of

[keithington1]

I'm salty. The Warriors will eat him up. I wanted Ojeleye

[mexicanjunior]

SPARE-ick White...TERRIBLE...Toros just picked up a rotation guy...

[south side spur]

They're on a PAC 12 streak here.

[SpurPadre]

Of course we get the oldest player, lol. Will fit in easily with our other old fuck rookie Hangman.

[benefactor]

Lol I posted it literally 3 seconds before they called it on my broadcast. You must be behind. Calm your tits.
Im on Direc...which is what most of the country is on dumbass.

:cry I want to make the thread :cry

[Mr. Body]

If he works his ass off he can become a player, I like the pick until I dont. The front office knows better than any of us.

He already worked his ass off to get where he is now.

[objective]

He kind of looks like Anderson and Mills got merged in the transporter during beam up.

[SuperCam]

23 years old no upside pick. PAFTO trying to out-think the room again :bang

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I'm confounded by this pick - fixing PG doesn't mean drafting a newbie PG... mmm, what about Murray? jezzz wth??

[BatManu20]

They drafted another fathead lol


:lol

[SPURt]

He kind of looks like Anderson and Mills got merged in the transporter during beam up.
Ha! True

[NASpurs]

The resemblance is uncanny. Our resident Kyle Anderson lover is flicking the bean as we speak.

[benefactor]

I don't get this pick...makes no sense at all

[spursistan]

goodbye patty

[BillMc]

Well, just another hint Patty is gone.

[BatManu20]

Weaknesses.


XagBrYioSrw

[KDKSpurs24]

I wanted Semi. But I like this pick as of right now

[Budkin]

He kind of looks like Anderson and Mills got merged in the transporter during beam up.

:lmao

[SupaManu]

I like the pick

[raybies]

:bang :throwup

[ducks]

Mills is gone
White averaged 5.7 free throws a game and can hit from deep

[TimDunkem]

Not a fan of this pick. Josh Hart going right after might hurt down the road.

Hope I'm wrong.

[tholdren]

Why him over hart?

[Chinook]

Would have preferred Hart.

[rjv]

He won't play next year. It is basically a stash.

[phxspurfan]

It's official.

Spurs are done.

[BatManu20]

Why him over hart?

Good question. Must've liked his versatility as a PG/SG. He can play though.

[TheCerebral1]

Lamarcus is still a spur and I waited up for this shit. I was wrong when we drafted George Hill. I hope I'm wrong here. FFS.

[Captivus]

https://media.giphy.com/media/UIorhH00aiRzy/giphy.gif

[BillMc]

well that was underwhelming

[TheDoctor]

I guess this is a good character thing or nah?

[Keepin' it real]

AWFUL PICK.

:cry

[Hoops Czar]

Typical Spurs. He'll never see the court. He has no game. Another untradeable asset. RC stockpiling them like Good n' Plenty's.

[phxspurfan]

I guess this is a good character thing or nah?

Its a FO thinks theyre smarter than all the scouts combined thing

[DJR210]

Thanks faggot...they haven't even picked yet.

:lol

[tim_duncan_fan]

He's old and slow. The opposite of what we need.

Good job, PATFO.

[dabom]

This feels like when the Spurs drafted Fathead.

[cd98]

Damn autodraft. Can we take it back?

[ducks]

Typical Spurs. He'll never see the court. He has no game.

Got 50 in a tournament game they said

[benefactor]

So the Spurs are keeping Parker, signing Paul and burning another roster spot on a young PG while they are already trying to develop another young PG.

Makes sense.

[keithington1]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OA5ckgTa6w&t=123s

[ducks]

He's old and slow. The opposite of what we need.

Good job, PATFO.

23 lol

[objective]

If we're all lucky Anderson will be dumped for a second rounder.

I don't like the thought of seeing him and White on the floor at the same time.

You just know they'll trap each other in an unstable orbit, circling ever faster until Anderson's tidally locked cranium crashes into White's.

[sasaint]

Its a FO thinks theyre smarter than all the scouts combined thing

Per par.

[313]

Another wasted pick

[keithington1]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XagBrYioSrw
Gary Neal?

[BatManu20]

Measurements:

6'5

200 lbs

[CGD]

Why him over hart?

That's where I'm at, but in fairness need to get more familiar with his game.

[ace3g]

I don't get this pick...makes no sense at all

Yep not the type of player mold to move the needle...

[SpurPadre]

You can look at last year's draft thread here and see that most of us loved the Murray pick. This one is rightly questionable.

[TimDunkem]

I think they blew this pick, tbh.

[NASpurs]

Seems redundant when you have Forbes filling that combo guard/midget/rookie-ish roll.

[Play Boban]

:cry
:cry Am I wrong? :cry

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

So does this mean no CP3? Pretty awful pick to me.

[TheDoctor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XagBrYioSrw
Gary Neal?

So we got our Swaggy P tbh

[mexicanjunior]

Marcus Denmon-Jack McClinton starter kit...wasted pick...

[Hoops Czar]

Got 50 in a tournament game they said

RC Buford needs to be drug tested. RC in the business of stockpiling untradeable assets like Good n' Plenty's.

[sasaint]

So the Spurs are keeping Parker, signing Paul and burning another roster spot on a young PG while they are already trying to develop another young PG.

Makes sense.

Spurs are light years ahead of the rest of the league. Small ball? We're gonna resign Patty and roll out Micro Ball.

[Play Boban]

I COULD RUN THIS TEAM BETTER THAN POOP AND HIS CRONIES.

[SilverSpur]

Gasol is old
Aldridge on his way out
Dedmon a free agent
Lee a free agent
and we draft a guard?
Isaiah Hartenstein sitting there for the taking.
Hope they picked White because Paker and Ginobili are leaving or they plan on trading him along with Aldridge .

[Snaq O'Meal]

You can look at last year's draft thread here and see that most of us loved the Murray pick. This one is rightly questionable.

Cory Joseph 2.0

[ducks]

Cp3 is pipe dream
The pick also could be a pick to throw In to get Paul George for LMA

[Uriel]

Can't believe I woke up early for this :lmao

[TimDunkem]

Marcus Denmon-Jack McClinton starter kit...wasted pick...
Yep. Seems like another "He had a great story and has good character" pick.

[tholdren]

Good question. Must've liked his versatility as a PG/SG. He can play though.

Yes but hart is bigger and shoots slightly better, and i believe defends better

[objective]

Marcus Denmon-Jack McClinton starter kit...wasted pick...

Much better than McClinton.

Thinking back on McClinton, who never had a hope of playing in the NBA ... RC called him the best shooter in the draft. Also drafted that year? Steph Curry.

[tim_duncan_fan]

23 lol

That's old for a first round draft pick these days, ducks.

[DPG21920]

I mean, Spurs need more versatile athletes and they get an old (for college) PG who's not really versatile nor that athletic from what I'm reading. I mean, I get the roster is in a pinch with guard (TP injured, Mills maybe gone, Simmons may be gone, Danny may be gone) but man.

[ducks]

I COULD RUN THIS TEAM BETTER THAN POOP AND HIS CRONIES.

Not

[Hoops Czar]

Cory Joseph 2.0

He wishes.

[ducks]

I mean, Spurs need more versatile athletes and they get an old (for college) PG who's not really versatile nor that athletic from what I'm reading. I mean, I get the roster is in a pinch with guard (TP injured, Mills maybe gone, Simmons may be gone, Danny may be gone) but man.

5.3 free throws a game

[loveforthegame]

I don't get it either. I can't wait to hear The comments from RC.

[Uriel]

Spurs took forever to make this pick too. Front office must've been in turmoil debating who to draft.

[keithington1]

Cj Mccollum came out of Lehigh as a senior and he's 6'4"

[Chinook]

So the Spurs are keeping Parker, signing Paul and burning another roster spot on a young PG while they are already trying to develop another young PG.

Makes sense.

But gotta get rid of Green instead of Tony. You can't possibly tell me that an injured third PG is less important than a starting two-guard.

[CGD]

I will say, many of us have been bitching about needing more creating from the guard position. This guy could help with that.

[benefactor]

Spurs are light years ahead of the rest of the league. Small ball? We're gonna resign Patty and roll out Micro Ball.
Paul - PG
Patty - SG
White - SF
Murray - PF
Leonard - C

:lobt2:

[phxspurfan]

So we got our Swaggy P tbh

not even close to Swaggy P. Swag had star written all over him and could pull up over anybody. He was Arenas basically without the guns in the locker room. This guy is a slow, lazy cow.


Neal was undrafted IIRC and much better shooter (faster release, more range, definitely more clutch even though we haven't seen this kid play)

[Mr. Body]

I'll give him a shot. The last three drafts haven't been bad. Kyle Anderson, Dejounte Murray, this dude. They're not bad picks at #29 especially given the shitty talent coming out of the NCAA and International levels right now.

[r0drig0lac]

i like

[Dverde]

Josh Hart seems like a rotation player...

[TimDunkem]

I mean, Spurs need more versatile athletes and they get an old (for college) PG who's not really versatile nor that athletic from what I'm reading. I mean, I get the roster is in a pinch with guard (TP injured, Mills maybe gone, Simmons may be gone, Danny may be gone) but man.
Went with a guard and passed on Hart, Frank Jackson, Mason, and Evans. I hope they see something we all don't.

[DPG21920]

I don't know about him enough to judge him as a player but Im just saying Spurs need bigs/wings and versatile defenders.

[TheGreatYacht]

Semi Ojeleye and Frank Mason III will torch this poor guy for 4 years until he's gone to China with Fathead

God damn it Buford. He was a solid 2nd rnd pick, NOT first dipshit

[brucebowensghost]

[BackHome]

I think Pop and RC were hitting the bottle a little to hard have no idea why they didn't pick up the German Kid considering Gasol and LMA are on the way out??????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????

[phxspurfan]

Cj Mccollum came out of Lehigh as a senior and he's 6'4"

http://www.nbadraft.net/players/cj-mccollum

McCollum was respected as a lethal scorer who got much better over the summer. This kid is far from lethal, has no speed.

[benefactor]

5.3 free throws a game
Shut the fuck up you partially lobotomized Trump tard

[tholdren]

not even close to Swaggy P. Swag had star written all over him and could pull up over anybody. He was Arenas basically without the guns in the locker room. This guy is a slow, lazy cow.


Neal was undrafted IIRC and much better shooter (faster release, more range, definitely more clutch even though we haven't seen this kid play)

Lol star? Fuck off

[SuperCam]

Semi Ojeleye and Frank Mason III will torch this scrub for 4 years until he's gone to China with Fathead

China only allows two americans per team. You think they're going to waste roster spots on these scrubs?

[NASpurs]

Went with a guard and passed on Hart, Frank Jackson, and Evans. I hope they see something we all don't.

Or have some fucking plan when their needs are obvious.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol thinking the Spurs know what their doing

[phxspurfan]

Semi Ojeleye and Frank Mason III will torch this scrub for 4 years until he's gone to China with Fathead

TBH I would have rather had Frank with a chip on his shoulder than this kid

[tbdog]

Pop likes players earning minutes. Murray can't be a given

[objective]

Don't hate White, but I firmly believe the Spurs would be better off with Bell, or Bolden, or even Oliver instead of White.

Guard isn't that big an issue. Simmons on QO, Hanga itching to come over, Murray there, Forbes on a deal, Green still here, Manu leaning towards returning, Dangubic always a chance to develop late like Hanga ... White was kind of a luxury.

Meanwhile the only bigs on contract are a weak whining LMA and Bertans, with maybe Milutinov coming over, maybe not until next year.

ugh.

[AZK619]

If we're all lucky Anderson will be dumped for a second rounder.

I don't like the thought of seeing him and White on the floor at the same time.

You just know they'll trap each other in an unstable orbit, circling ever faster until Anderson's tidally locked cranium crashes into White's.

:lol

[SilverSpur]

Really thought Hart or Hartenstein was going to be the pick.

[David Stern]

Would have preferred Hart.

You wanted Birdman last year. What you prefer means jack shit.

[Keepin' it real]

So does this mean no CP3? Pretty awful pick to me.

Spurs using this pick as leverage with CP3. "You better sign with us for cheap, Mr. State Farm, or else we'll play this rookie instead."

Brilliant negotiating tactic tbh.

[phxspurfan]

I mean, Spurs need more versatile athletes and they get an old (for college) PG who's not really versatile nor that athletic from what I'm reading. I mean, I get the roster is in a pinch with guard (TP injured, Mills maybe gone, Simmons may be gone, Danny may be gone) but man.

Hart would have filled all these needs. Mason would have filled half of the needs

[apalisoc_9]

Another wasted pick

But I thought the spurs turned all their picks into star players?

[TimDunkem]

Or have some fucking plan when their needs are obvious.
Yep. There were bigs and wings there who would've seemingly been better.

We'll see...

[tmtcsc]

You know what we can expect?

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/093/557/142.gif

[phxspurfan]

Yes but hart is bigger and shoots slightly better, and i believe defends better

Led his team on the biggest stage, better leader looks like with much better intangibles (drive, defensive effort)

[Spurfan4ever20]

It is very rare Pop places a rookie in the season playing rotation. Expect D.White to camp out in Austin all year and ride the bench come playoff time if he is lucky.

[BatManu20]

Im on Direc...which is what most of the country is on dumbass.

:cry I want to make the thread :cry

:cryI saw the pick 5 seconds before I heard it :cry

Quit your crying. It's a fucking Internet thread dude, get over it.

You wanted Birdman last year. What you prefer means jack shit.

Patty - SG
White - SF
Murray - PF
Leonard - C

:lobt2:

[BatManu20]

This dude really is a fathead clone :lol

Glad posters here scout this guy so hard all before draft.

Thanks to you.

They may have been drafting for Philly.

We'll know soon.

Wtf! That weaknesses video. Damn :lol

[BC3]

Who is?

[keithington1]

http://www.nbadraft.net/players/cj-mccollum

McCollum was respected as a lethal scorer who got much better over the summer. This kid is far from lethal, has no speed. Mccollum was graded 94. White was graded a 90. White is graded more athletic. http://www.nbadraft.net/players/derrick-white

He's smaller. He's the mini-me-fathead.

[Nathan89]

You wanted Birdman last year. What you prefer means jack shit.:lmao

[TimDunkem]

Weaknesses.


XagBrYioSrw
So an average athlete at best with no handles and a weak first step.

Yep. Sounds like a Spur.

[TheGreatYacht]

Sacramento does it again!

They draft Mason III (next IT) in the 2nd round while we draft Fathead/ Cory Oseph's child in the first eound

[TheDoctor]

Measurements:

Dude's a freak :wow

[DDUBB1770]

Combo guard covers patty and possibly Danny trade absence most NBA ready combo guard left long decent athleticism solid shooter although not a quick release and nice floater in the paint against bigger defenders strong character buffer pick imo if we have to gut the roster for cap space for a top 3 guy... plays solid perimeter d w length and is fantastic jumping passing lanes ... watch a lot of U of A basketball and a lot of pac12 hoops just my take no guarantee just think speaks more to them saying patty is gone and hoping to trade Danny to free up space

[Uriel]

They may have been drafting for Philly.

We'll know soon.
Link?

[rjv]

ST in full hyperbole mode.

[SPURt]

Pop's gonna love this kid. Looks like he definitely fits the culture.

[ducks]

I like this kid a lot.

[tmtcsc]

The Spurs weren't going to improve in 2017-2018 through the draft. Back to the Free Agency route it is.

[BC3]

Is this kid a oh? Why Cory Joseph 2.0

[DAF86]

Wouldn't have made more sense to take a flyer on that Mason guy? Who apprently is very good and only got this low because of his size.

[ducks]

He is a point guard mills is not and he can shoot

[raybies]

objective man bro i really wanted Bolden :cry

[ducks]

Wouldn't have made more sense to take a flyer on that Mason guy, who apprently is very good and only got tjis low because of his size?

Too short to guard like mills

[r0drig0lac]

San Antonio Fatheads?

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif

[jhfenton]

This feels like when the Spurs drafted Fathead.

No. This feels much worse.

[sasaint]

The Spurs weren't going to improve in 2017-2018 through the draft. Back to the Free Agency route it is.

Not without a trade or two.

[BatManu20]

Measurements:


Height: 6'5
Weight: 200 lbs.
Wingspan: 6'7 1/2
Standing reach: 8'5 1/2
Vertical: 36 1/2


Impressive reach and vertical.

[DAF86]

Too short to guard like mills

So? If we get a Mills like player with the 29th pick, you have to consider yourself lucky.

[sasaint]

Wouldn't have made more sense to take a flyer on that Mason guy? Who apprently is very good and only got this low because of his size.

I am tired of smurf guards.

[TheGreatYacht]

Wouldn't have made more sense to take a flyer on that Mason guy? Who apprently is very good and only got this low because of his size.
He shot 47% from 3 this past season :lol

Unfortunately he has tattoos and celebrates too much for Poop

Measurements:


Height: 6'5
Weight: 200 lbs.
Wingspan: 6'7 1/2
Standing reach: 8'5 1/2
Vertical: 36 1/2


Impressive reach and vertical.
Lol That vertical isn't that impressive compared to so many others in this draft, tbh..

[99 Problems]

:lobt2:

[Nathan89]

White can defend. You don't avg that many steals and blocks with shit defensive instincts.

[rastaspur]

The resemblance is uncanny. Our resident Kyle Anderson lover is flicking the bean as we speak.

Sa girl might be having dirty thoughts with the fathead twins. Thoughts of being their Chinese fingercuff running in the head.

I'm kidding of course.

[TheGreatYacht]

The Spurs weren't going to improve in 2017-2018 through the draft. Back to the Free Agency route it is.
With what money? :lol we'll lose a handful of players and will gain Hanga and mini Fathead

[Solid D]

I'd sort of like to see Meeks from UNC end up with the Spurs also.

[ducks]

White can defend. You don't avg that many steals and blocks with shit defensive instincts.

[Ron Swanson]

He's smaller. He's the mini-me-fathead.

Jupiter and Saturn

[TimDunkem]

Please God let a decent big fall to us.

[cd98]

Lol That vertical isn't that impressive compared to so many others in this draft, tbh..

Great so even his vertical is white.

[TimDunkem]

Great so even his vertical is white.
:lmao

[cd98]

White can defend. You don't avg that many steals and blocks with shit defensive instincts.

You could for Colorado.

[Dverde]

I do like that they reached for somebody instead of someone who dropped

[ginobilized]

He must've had a tremendous workout for the Spurs.
The Spurs trust their metrics and the results of the players they workout. I know that
Gary Neal was signed almost entirely based on his workout.
Curious pick, nonetheless.

[ducks]

Lol people hate white because everyone wanted LMA gone tonight

[RD2191]

He'll be a solid bench player for us.

[SnakeBoy]

878085002272980993

He looks like he's uncomfortable being the center of attention...Spur for life

[BC3]

He is a point guard mills is not and he can shoot


This kid is. A pg? Can u verify this?

[Mr. Body]

Last Division II player to make it into the NBA was Ben Wallace. WE STACKED.

[Keepin' it real]

In honor of this pick, everyone "Go Spurs Go" on three.

1 ... 2 ... 3 ...

[keithington1]

He made the Pac 12 all defensive team

[rjv]

Lol because of their 29th draft pick?

Stop trying to be the voice of reason.

[cd98]

Starting to wish we did a draft and stash.

[TimDunkem]

Meanwhile, Warriors get Jordan Bell for peanuts. :lol

[xellos88330]

The only way I can like this pick is with a damn good screener. I am talking the brick wall kind of screener. He is going to need help attacking. Get some meat to lay out his defender and it is at least salvageable on offense. On defense it seems he is a bit of a question mark. He does seem to be in position quite often. I just wonder how he is battling through screens.

[BatManu20]

Meanwhile, Warriors get Jordan Bell for peanuts. :lol

Steal. He's going to be a monster defensively imo. Doesn't need to score for them. And they got him for $3.5M... joke.

Yeah, let's compare him to last year class. Even better, let's compare him to John Stockton's 24" vertical :wow

In honor of this pick, everyone "Go Spurs Go" on three.

He's probably wondering, "Did they trade LaMarcus yet?"

[raybies]

Steal. He's going to be a monster defensively imo. Doesn't need to score for them.
definitely, got McCaw for cash and now Bell. Might be the best FO now...

[Keepin' it real]

Yeah, let's compare him to last year class. Even better, let's compare him to John Stockton's 24" vertical :wowOK, how it compare to this year class?

John Stockton had a pretty nice career. Are you saying that's White's floor? :lol

[313]

But I thought the spurs turned all their picks into star players?this is my least favorite espn narrative, even worse than the "spurs are boring" narrative. Patfo stinks.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Stop trying to be the voice of reason.

How is that being the voice of reason?

Saying the Spurs aren't done because of a late 1st round draft pick doesn't take much evidence or logic.

After tonite -if he hasn't done it already- Kawhi will end up cutting his cornrows after all.

[Ron Swanson]

Last Division II player to make it into the NBA was Ben Wallace. WE STACKED.

Pistons Announcer: B-B-B-B-B-Ben Wallace!

[BackHome]

umm I think he was joking....lol

His last name is as White as Stockton, he got that already :lol

[David Stern]

Steal. He's going to be a monster defensively imo. Doesn't need to score for them. And they got him for $3.5M... joke.

Not really. You are already dramatically overrating him.

[BillMc]

White and Stockton sounds like an accounting firm from the 1940's

Cory Joseph 2.0

at least CoJo has been a decent pro player who gave us a confidence-boosting dunk on Ibaka. This dude doesn't have that projection, let alone athleticism.

Joseph took forever it seemed.

[BatManu20]

Okay, I think he's going to be "very good" defensively. He was definitely the best defensive player in the country last year, as his PAC-12 DPOY Award and NCAA Tournament performances indicated.

[Robz4000]

:lmao holy fuck RC

Meanwhile the Dubs got the steal of the draft. Best FO in the league by far.

Here's a fun fact, dude grew 7 inches taller AFTER graduating high school.

[tim_duncan_fan]

We didn't draft a big, but still got someone with no footspeed.

Uhmazin.

[SpurPadre]

Joseph took forever it seemed.

I was never impressed by joseph out of college anyway

[TheGreatYacht]

He'll be 27 when his rookie contract runs out. Cory Joseph was White's current age when his rookie contract ran out.

PATF:lol

[spursince#99]

We could've just drafted Williams-Goss in the 2nd 😂

Of course, the Spurs only draft steals these day. It's been that way for a near decade.

You don't have to go back to many threads to see that people here always react this way to draft picks. Go back to the Kawhi thread.

Draft picks are always wait and see. Maybe it works, maybe not, but people acting like this is a disaster are just stupid.
