Thanks for bumping this thread. These dumb ass takes have aged like day old milk.:rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin
Once again proving why Pop, R.C. and company are in the business of acquiring and developing talent while the dumbass trolls on ST aren't. :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

The old and slow one was pure gold, since he had great combine numbers.

Re: Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)
I was annoyed with the pick because I really wanted SA to get a big. I came around pretty quickly when RC said they thought White still had athletic upside. I had little doubt about his play-style or defense. I just didn't know if he was a low-ceiling guy like Norris Cole. Hearing he had upside made me think he'd be a good player, though perhaps still not to the point that he'd justify picking him over a big. To that end, the Spurs might not have accepted Poeltl as part of the Leonard package had they taken a center (that came over) at any point between 2015-2017. Simply them doing that could've meant OG or Siakam as a Spur, or maybe a completely different history for the team.

Re: Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)
Hart was the clear pick here tbh. He was and still is Spurs material, character wise. He hasnt developed to his full potential as a 3-D player since he was on the L:lolLkers and now whatever team (Nola?). But on paper he was a better fit, especially seeing as how Kawhi and Green were on their way out.
I wanted Hart and Jalen Brunson both on this team from these drafts. Also Brogdon. All Spurs type players. High IQ, high motor, high character.

White was a weird case. As a HS senior he was like 5’8”. He was a late bloomer, both in height and athleticism. Not many 22YO still have athletic upside.

Re: Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)
I honestly think White can and will get much better but two things have to happen - He has to remain healthy take care of those feet White!! And the second thing is that he has to have primary ball handling duties Pop really should name him our starting PG but he won’t because of Murray. For him to be primary ball handler DEROZZ has to let him or DEROZZ has to be traded.
I remember in one stretch were DEROZZ missed a week or two due to an injury he straight out balled and was like a new player. Not blaming DEROZZ I just think that White still believes he is not in the head of the line he needs to start acting like an Alpha and call his own numbers.

Derrick White is way better than Josh Hart though.

Of course, but the argument is Hart at the time was a better fit. And since this is speculation about 3-4 years ago I also say we would have developed Hart better than the Fakers did. And he would be a passable 3-D player versus another PG on our roster.

What a weird hill to die on considering White is currently the best player on the team :lol

Until we drafted Tre Jones, Derrick White was literally the only PG player on the roster.

ngl it is awkward defending some shit I posted in 2017 :lol but yeah I def remember feeling like Hart was the pick. But then again when we picked GH3 I was like everyone else WTF is that. Also when we picked Beno I remember my friend and I laughing "we picked a guy named Beano ROFL"
Only picks I recall being all in on were Murray, Blair, and maybe Splitter.

Sure, pass first natural PG. But guys who are PG sized or that we try to turn into PGs?
It's ok tho, we will be able to have this debate again next year when PATFO drafts another PG.

Re: Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)
I was actually mad that Pop sent him to the G-League. He only played 1 NBA game that year and scored 16 points against the Warriors. The team could’ve really needed him
that season when nephew decided to sit out and Parker was injured for half the season.

He played 17 games, but limited minutes, and I thought he was the second best guard on the roster, after Manu.

They were all garbage time. Against the Dubs Pop started him I think. It was the only game where he got real NBA minutes and he looked ready from jump. No reason to spend a whole year in the G-League

Re: Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)
Real talk though?
Are we expecting Derrick to be the guy where we hand him the ball and say "go get us a bucket?"
I'm afraid it will still fall to DeMar in terms of getting a tough basket and closing for us.

No you give him the ball to make the right play. He will either score or dish out to an open shooter. I take that any day

The worst part is that I added the smiley face because I probably thought Pop wouldn't be so retarded to actually have Forbes over White, but I guess he proved me wrong.

Re: Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)
We’re now arguing they didn’t know exactly how to develop White after we all didn’t like the pick and were proven wrong? He’s said the season in the d-league helped him a lot and he’s certainly enjoyed leading that team to the d-league title.

It's because they think they're smarter than actual coaches.
