Everyone already wants his candy ass to be put in the lineup, Im actually tired of hearing about him.

[JROEL44]

Thats funny .....nah but on the real youtube James White it wont hurt the spurs to put a kid with that much ability in the game just to see what happens..

my bad pimp I'm new to this .......lol

If Pop thought White was ready to play, I'm sure he'd be seeing some time -- particularly since this team is hurting for some useful athleticism.

That he's not playing is, to me at least, some evidence that he's more And-1 than NBA right now. I mean, it's not as if he's going to get opportunities to dunk from the free throw line on any sort of routine basis. And who cares that he can go between his legs from the free throw line, unless the TNT crew is going to come out on the floor and award additional points for creativity on dunks during games.

There's no real evidence that he's got either the offensive or defensive game to be a rotation player in the NBA yet. Until he shows that he can actually play the NBA game, it makes sense to me that he sits.

I get your point, I saw James White in a couple of games in Austin when he played for the Toros and he just looked good and I think we can use him, Pop won't put him in cuz he says he wants him to become a defense of player to back up Bruce Bowen.....

Uh, no. Pop won't use him because he's not ready to play yet.

You'll have to forgive me if I trust Pop more than I trust you when it comes to evaluating whether a player is ready to contribute in the NBA.

[conversekid]

One would think that Pop, and the rest of the coaching staff, that see him day in and day out in practice would have some idea of his ability - same with butler. Obviously they have some reason to believe he isn't NBA ready. I'm sure they've seen his play more than any of us. With the amount of problems the spurs are having at the swing position, if they saw something in practice that made them think the kid would bring something to the floor, they would put him in.

Yeah, but there are clips on youtube showing him throwing down some sick dunks. How can he not be NBA ready?

[conversekid]

throwing down sick dunks doesn't equate to being NBA ready

[ChumpDumper]

Just looking good in the D-League is not enough to become a rotation player on the Spurs.

[GrandeDavid]

James White doesn't seem to be ready yet. Its funny because many say he needs to bulk up, but he's been lifting since his days at my alma mater Cincinnati. He's just wiry, but very tough. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can do, but I have a feeling he's more a pet project for next season. But I guess you can never be too sure with Gregg Popovich in charge.

You don't say...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

What Are You Talking About , I Love Gervin But He Could Not Dunk From The Foul Line Doing A Windmill Or Dunking From The Free Throw With Two Hands ..

So James White is better than George Gervin?

Is that what you're saying, because I want to be sure that's what you're saying, because if that's what you're saying, you're a damned idiot.

Nobody (even Pop) knows whether a player is ready to contribute in the NBA until he gets to play. Some guys are "gametime" players and no one knows which ones until they get the chance.

you forgot to put it in Italics. :spin

[AFBlue]

I just hope White gets the opportunity to prove himself next year. Unlike Butler, he is not on contract past next season, so unless Finley opts out, Barry gets traded, or Bowen inexplicably retires, White will not have an opportunity to show whether he is a long-term value to this team.

[wildbill2u]

They obviously got him because he has some athleticism and potential. They put him down in the minors so he would get some playing time at the minor-pro level which is just a notch above college. Remember that most college teams have only one or two players that have any NBA potential at all so to standout at college doesn't make him a lock for the NBA. AT the minor level all the players were great in college--but still aren't in the elite circle of players than can move on up.

I've heard Pop say for years that players have to earn time on the court and he won't play favorites.

In the case of White, Butler, etc, his judgement is they haven't earned time on the court ahead of the players they are behind.

[mardigan]

Yes it does, you ever hear of one of the all time greats, a Mister Harold "Baby Jordan" Minor?

[The Truth #6]

He probably isn't ready but that doens't mean Pop's evaluation of talent is always 100% rational. The Van Exel disaster still riles me. Short of getting in trouble with the law, that guy was about as anti-Spur as I could imagine. Lazy, out of shape, ill-advised shots, no defense...yet he kept getting minutes over and over again.

[Mr. Body]

Pop was hoping for a Robert Horry moment out of Van Exel that never happened. There's no saying Udrih would have been better.

[Big Shot Rob]

What does it mean on these message boards when people write "my bad"?

Also--what does it mean when someone just writes "word"?

As for White--I have a feeling that James is being groomed for some time during the playoffs. I know people are going to say I am stupid for saying this but I would not be surprised to see both Butler and White see some time in the playoffs.

Assuming you are really asking...

My bad = That was my fault.

Word = I agree with you.

Word.

come on playa u know Gervin's the man.....stop playing u know thats not what i ment........

I guess he's not playing in the D-League All-Star Game after all.
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 14, 2007 – Luke Schenscher of the Fort Worth Flyers, Quemont Greer of the Dakota Wizards and Rick Rickert of the Colorado 14ers have been named as replacements for the inaugural Gillette D-League All-Star Game in association with 24 Hour Fitness. The game will be held on February 17, 2007 on Center Court at NBA All-Star Jam Session presented by adidas at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The game will tip off at 2 p.m. PT and be televised live on NBA TV.

Schenscher replaces Jared Reiner and Greer takes the spot of James White on the East team. Reiner earned a GATORADE Call-Up to the Milwaukee Bucks from Sioux Falls on February 8 and White was recalled to the San Antonio Spurs from the Austin Toros on January 27. Rickert replaces his Colorado teammate Louis Amundson, who signed a 10-day contract with the Utah Jazz on February 5.

The 2007 Gillette D-League All-Star Game in association with 24 Hour Fitness will air live on NBA TV. NBA TV is available through several of the nation's top cable and satellite companies, including Comcast; Time Warner; Cox; Cablevision; Bright House; DIRECTV; and DISH Network.

I guess they don't want to risk that a nba player get an injury in a Dleague event and that they want to let them practicing with their nba team.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm thinking it's a technicality like it counts as a send-down or something stupid like that.

Preach on my brotha! Talk about your personnel disasters. That was one x 10.

The only other personnel disaster that still ranks higher for me is them passing on Josh Howard - I can't let it go! Sorry folks!

[ChumpDumper]

You don't have to let it go -- just don't put it in every post.

[T Park]

It was either Van Exel or Udrih.

your expectations are grossly unsubstantiated.
