White has great size for a point guard and can also play off the ball. Despite being 23 he excelled in his only year of division 1 ball. He can shoot the 3 and seems to be a heady player. Not even close to Slowmo's lack of athleticism either.

:wow Steal of the draft.

I think he's great pick period but this makes the pick even better. Paying Patty would be a huge waste of money so anything that helps avoid that is great.

:lmao....

Yeah, I can see this become James Anderson 2.0 tbh. Yet another non-eventive Spurs draft.

No thanks.

A few Mavs & Rockets fans who have seen him play, seemed pretty upset that we drafted him fwiw.

He gone....
Forbes needs to do better too. He can't be shooting so poorly.

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
He's about to play more next season TBH :rolleyes

You have all the right to be sour...

I really didn't prepare for this draft and was spectating this time. Not blown away, not one of the guys hyped up here ... everyone talked bigs so I didn't even know this guy. Everyone Saud it wasn't a great draft class for guards at Spurs slot, that bigs was where it was at etc... so I don't know him AT all

james anderson was actually an exciting pick though, he just didn't pan out

Buford knows he can do no wrong. If it doesn't pan out for White, his resident slurpers will tell us you can't always draft a gem with a late first round pick and the vanilla media will mention Parker (Presti's pick) & Leonard (wanted Valenciunas instead) to prop up his overrated drafting skills and will completely ignore the 10+ duds

Thanks for sharing honest opinion.
Roleplayer who bc of age and development will work hard and is mature for a rookie. Patty is most definitely gone and I think they aren't sure Forbes will translate his shooting to the NBA. Still a question mark despite his much hyped shooting. Increases competition among those guys too.

He is kind of what you expect from a late first rounder. Certainly not a great steal like Parker o Splitter. Should be better than Kyle Anderson though if he isn't totally lazy an only in for the money.
