Can he?

[cd98]

No because he won't get the minutes or the increased role. If anything, his role will shrink.

[slick'81]

Sure why not

[Spurs da champs]

Dejounte has a much better chance of winning it than him imo.

He was a starting point guard. Now he will likely come off the bench for Murray. Nothing is set in stone, it just seems like if the Spurs think Murray is a star, he'll get most of the minutes. White will definitely have a role, but it won't be like last year when he got a lot of minutes and the ball was in his hands more.

[r0drig0lac]

no, Walker is the spur with more chances

[RC_Drunkford]

the fact that all 3 of our young guards have the potential to get MIP alone shows how good this team could be if everything pans out right

[spurraider21]

dejounte is a comeback player of the year candidate, white can get most improved

[timtonymanu]

He has to be even better than last year. I feel like last season, he had a better chance to win it all. Personally I like to see him get All Defense recognition. He got snubbed there last year.

Please explain the mental gymnastics you went through to get to that conclusion please...

[phxspurfan]

No because he's a Spur

[keepinitwill]

It's too hard to say right now. Pop is going to have a helluva a time divvying up minutes. He is definitely capable if he gets enough run.

[GreekSpursfan]

No because he's a Spur

It's not hard to imagine any of Murray, White, or Walker getting it. All of them are in a situation where they could make a big jump.

[FkLA]

OP, just a heads up. You accidentally hit the I key instead of the V key, bro.

[tonski17]

White will play the role of Manu Ginobili, the star off the bench. He could win MIP and 6th man tbh

Lonnie tbh

Is that even a thing in the NBA? I thought that was exclusively for football

[cutewizard]

:lobt:

[SpurPadre]

I just hope he doesn't disappear in the playoffs again and earn another benching over fucking Mills.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I think he has a great shot at winning it as does Murray. I think even if White has the 6th man role he is going to get a decent and consistent amount of minutes this season. It's very exciting to see how the young guards are going to play

[duncan2k5]

Murray

[LASToog36]

Honestly think he's too inconsistent. he disappeared in the playoffs after that 36 pt game..
