Derrick White

[sasaint]

I feel bad but keep waiting for White to fall off or hit the rookie wall.

Except White isn’t a rookie.

[DAF86]

Pop needs to cut the crap and have White finish games no matter what, specially without DeRozan out there. He's the only steady hand besides DeMar that can get us to our sets when assholes get tight. Without him out there it looked like last season's Spurs with folks looking scared as shit while trying to make an entry pass to Aldridge.

[BackHome]

I agree have no idea why he didn’t have White late in the game?

[XDT76]

Lots of options with both White and Murray. I thought about what an Aldridge, Gay, DeRozan, Murrray, White lineup would look like. Not enough outside shooting from deep. Maybe Murray or White, and Gay end up spending a lot more time leading the second unit.

I am actually waiting to see if next year whether there could be a second team line up of White, Murray, Walker, Bertans and poeltl.

[R. DeMurre]

White finished with 15 pts, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 0 turnovers.

It's still mystifying why Forbes is getting more minutes than White. Forbes finished -19 in 32 minutes while White was +7 in 29 minutes.

Forbes 3rd year

this is the military

[DAF86]

Don't really see who he would have made it over, tbh..maybe Marvin Bagley, but that's it .

White's been a monster, but you have to consider that this nice stretch has only been for the past month or so..

Do you think Lonzo deserves it over White?

[HarlemHeat37]

Do you think Lonzo deserves it over White?

Lonzo doesn't deserve anything based on his play, but he's the biggest draw/star the NBA will have in this game outside of Doncic, he was getting in regardless:lol

[Jules_Winnfield]

Isn't Longo supposed to be injured/out for some time?




Lonzo Ball (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/2268586/lonzo-ball)
PG
Sun, Jan 20
Ankle
Expected to be out until at least Feb 21

[timtonymanu]

He's good. Should have made the rising stars team this year, tbh.

[cd021]

Kids a friggin' stud. Even LA looked impressed late in the game by his play.

[DAF86]

He's good. Should have made the all star game this year, tbh.

Corregido.

[ceperez]

He's good. Should have made the rising stars team this year, tbh.

The best player in a 6th seed western conference team and he can't even make the rising stars contest???!

[Degoat]

He's good. Should have made the rising stars team this year, tbh.

i saw that lonzo ball was injured so hopefully white replaces him because white absolutely deserves to be there

[spurs10]

White was a difference maker tonight!

[vander]

Offer him a max extension already

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Best point guard in the west

[sasaint]

The best player in a 6th seed western conference team and he can't even make the rising stars contest???!

Totally agree.

[8sy21vd]

His uncle is already plotting his exit lol. Seriously though Derrick is fantastic!

[superbigtime]

I'm absolutely impressed by his poise, efficiency, D, and decision making. I'm a total believer.

[Russ]

Just watched the Derrick White postgame interview.

Derrick White has to be the geekiest good basketball player I've ever seen.

Do you remember a young Tim Duncan?

[acoelho1]

Best game of the season even with all the bad fouls. I think it’s time to raise his ceiling and RC has done again. White has the poise of a 10 year vet and plays with such a great pace, always in command. It’s going to be fun with a Murray White backcourt.

[emanueldavidginobili]

26-6-3 on 8-13 shooting in 25 minutes..

[BillMc]

Was this his career high?

[sasaint]

Was this his career high?

Yes, in points.

[BillMc]

Yes, in points.

Thanks.:bobo

[DAF86]

He would have gone for 35 if not for foul trouble.

[sasaint]

He would have gone for 35 if not for foul trouble.

Pop would have subbed him out before that. Heck, with 3 fouls, DWhite didn't even see the court in the entire 3rd quarter.

[DAF86]

Nah, White was subbed when he comitted his 4th.

[HarlemHeat37]

I wonder what trade the Spurs would have taken for Kawhi had they known White would become this good..

[FkLA]

That's it, boys. I'm getting his jersey. Such a likeable player.

[look_at_g_shred]

That’s alright if y’all are tardy to the party..come on in we don’t bite..

OH, yeah, I forgot. Thanks.

[DAF86]

Many Spurs fans knew he could be this good, that's why many of us were higher on the Sixers or Clippers deals than the Toronto one. Of course you never know with these type of things but if PATFO didn't see it as a possibility, I don't know what to say.

The real scary proposition is thinking what would have happened with White if Murray never got injured.

Come on, man. Can you honestly say you knew White would be THIS good? You’re starting to sound like Apalisoc_9 with his whole “called it from day 1” with Nephew

Yessir. I pointed out last spring that DWhite had played fewer minutes on the big team than any recent Spurs first round pick, even though he looked plenty good in those few minutes. There are still probably plenty of ST posters who want Murray to be the PG - at least there were plenty until last week. I just hope Pop understands which Spur needs to be the guy running the show.

[sasaint]

Several of us were saying it.

[DAF86]

Or if Manu hadn't retired:toast

Also. The funny thing is that with Murray healthy, Manu still playing and White still being part of the rotation the Spurs are probably better than what they are right now, but I would rather take the things as have unfolded because I don't trust Pop still playing White with Murray and Manu a available.

[DAF86]

If Given the chance, by season's end White will clearly be the Spurs' third best player.

And I sold him short, tbh.

[GAustex]

I noticed how last year he had "it" and was perplexed that he did not get some burn-they seemed like they needed some
"it" last year

The real scary proposition is thinking what would have happened with White if Murray never got injured.Now the real scary proposition is when DJM comes back next year and is paired with White.

Those two are going to be fun to watch over the next couple of years.

He'd be given Patty's towel and old seat at the end of the bench.

[spurs10]

He would have gone for 35 if not for foul trouble. Troof!

[FkLA]

Trade that faggot Murray, imo. I don't want him messing with White's role, minutes, growth, etc. Murray wishes he could grow up to be Derrick White.

[blah28]

When can the Spurs offer him an extension? Lock up now long term.

[timtonymanu]

Smh Nephew/White/LMA big 3 though :pctoss

:lol Murray is the new Tony Parker for you, the Spur that shows off and embraces the Hollywood life while White (Manu) is more quiet and humble.

[FkLA]

TP was a legitimate all-star despite his heroitis though. With Murray, I kind of have a feeling that he is just a fraud.

[LCM]

Potential deals :
Sixers - Saric, Covington, 10th pick (Mikael Bridges on Suns)
Clippers - Harris, Harrell (S/T) 12th (Miles Bridges) 13th (Micheal Porter?)

Plus there is still a great chance we still get LW4 at 18th and Metu in 2nd round. I liked either one, Sixers more because Danny wouldn't be in the deal.

White/Murry/Mills
Green/ Bridges
Covington /Gay
Saric/Bertans
Aldridge/Metu

That's an interesting team where the pace would be fast and the ball would be moving!

[emanueldavidginobili]

I don’t care what anyone says, DJ and Derrick will be a hell of a duo. I believe in both of them.

[cool cat]

His January. 15ppg 60%FG 47%3pt that’s amazing!

[R. DeMurre]

His January. 15ppg 60%FG 47%3pt that’s amazing!


Also in January, he's averaging 30.9 minutes, 3.9 assists, and only 1.6 turnovers per game.

[ceperez]

Finally, people beginning to see the light!

I've been saying that he's the best player in the Spur roster and it isn't a fluke!

I always knew he had the offensive skills. What surprised me was his defense and his poise in reading a defense. When I saw that early in this season, I was sold.

Aldridge is an all star, but White is better than Aldridge!

[r0drig0lac]

I don’t care what anyone says, DJ and Derrick will be a hell of a duo. I believe in both of them.

At this point White has to be the starting PG, especially cause him and LA just work together perfectly. They have a lot of chemistry together. Starting Murray and White together is definitely an option

[jermaine]

I like Murray alot, but him an White does not need to be on the floor at the same time... They dont need to be on the same team if Murray cant shoot better next season. White NEEDS to handle the ball. His BBIQ is off the charts. I hate for Murray to lose his spot because of injury, but White has been a major upgrade.

I think they can play together, especially on defense where they can switch in on any 1-2 combo on defense. Whites shooting compliments Dejounte ability to drive and kick and he’s obviously a good passer too.

[acoelho1]

Murray will be the pg unless they trade him. It’s easy to pick the guy who is actually playing. Murray was going to make a jump as well this year.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Smh Nephew/White/LMA big 3 though :pctoss

Imagine the defense that could of been - Murray/White/Green/Nephew/LMA - the Spurs were that close to having the horses to counter the Warriors "death" lineup. Not saying they could beat them but would actually be able to match up

Even with Murray's injury Spurs would have excellent D had Nephew been able to man up

[TDMVPDPOY]

yet monkeys still bringing up murray as a comparison to white, whites the real deal

Not to mention having Rudy Gay on the bench....

[Ditty]

If he was 22 years old I would be excited about this kid.

[exstatic]

No. Dejounte will need a full year to be NBA ready. That's early October. Don't be fooled by some IG vids of him dribbling and shooting. He's not ready.

Is this what they said about Manu too when he entered the league?

Smh Nephew/White/LMA big 3 though :pctoss
indeed. with nephew being a good outside shooter too, we could have fielded a pretty monster lineup without worrying as much about spacing like we have to with DePression...

Murray

i've always been hopeful for DJ's future but i have never seen the same composure and efficiency i have seen from Derrick. dude is just a high caliber player with a high bball iq than most. def my fav spur atm.

[spurraider21]

white is 2 years older than murray tbh. he's much more polished, clearly. but i dont see why we're pitting them against each other. they can coexist in the same backcourt

[Down Under]

I wonder what trade the Spurs would have taken for Kawhi had they known White would become this good..
The one Philly made with the Wolves - Roco & Saric. No one honestly thought White would get this good this fast, even less so the first month he played this season.

[Down Under]

If Murray can shoot the 3 & do nothing else offensively, I'd be stoked at this point. Don't need another ball handler/creator at the moment.

[koriwhat]

yeah idk. i want to see murray in more of a traditional SG role than a facilitator of the ball. somewhat like a danny green but with explosion to the rim. that'd give the staring pg role to white and starting sg to murray while cutting the fat of demar from the team or bringing murray off the bench behind demar.

Oh he is going to have to be the 2, or else come off the bench as the Manu.

Derrick is the point guard. I think everyone is fully convinced of that now.

There was a moment last night when Derrick stepped forward to drive and two Nets met him. Derrick stops short, freezes the two Nets, and throws LA wide open and for a second LA froze cause he didn't understand how he was open with the ball in his hands.

White is a monster of a smart player. He is going to so great for us. We just gotta hope that he stays humble and we (the Spurs) stay appreciative, cause dude looks like he is going to grow into a star.

So you’re telling me he’s not good for a 24 year old? Gtfo Manu was a rookie at 25.

[wildbill2u]

Remember early in the season he was really deferring to veterans. He'd drive right to the basket and then instead of taking his due, he'd pass off to a big man. Sometimes the big couldn't believe he didn't take the shot and wasn't ready so he'd blow the layup/ ]

Now Derrick is taking those layup himself when open. His confidence is high and he is proving to be highly capable as a scorer. The evolution of a good prospect into a good solid player is taking place before us. This team is fun to watch as it develops.

[BackHome]

Yeah and the beginning of season lots of posters were saying he was a bust trade his bum ass. Lol. It’s amazing how a few months of getting consistent minutes can turn those people to know saying he is first or second best Spurs player on the team. And yes same people saying Murray sucks when he hasn’t even played this year. Lol

[slick'81]

[look_at_g_shred]

So confident in the FO taking advantage of our 2 first round picks. This is something we are not talking about enough. PATFO must be salivating at having 2 shots this year. Getting that pick from Tor is so underrated.

[DAF86]

The one Philly made with the Wolves - Roco & Saric. No one honestly thought White would get this good this fast, even less so the first month he played this season.

Bullsh, tbh. A lot of us did. I mean, just look at this thread.

[Down Under]

Really? I thought he could be pretty good, but he's playing at a ridiculous level on both ends & it's happened in half a season.

[Ocotillo]

Really happy to see White beginning to emerge as a solid player. I don't keep up with who says what here usually but I do remember an excessive amount of "Fathead 2" and other crap like that being thrown around about him.

Also, in regards to him coexisting with Murray, PATFO figured out a way to have Tony and Manu coexist although there were idiots going on about which was better, yada yada.
