Safe to say he will be ahead of Forbes

Nice. He has a polished look to his game. Can manuver around the basket and has a nice looking pull up. He also made some solid passes. Kid looks miles better than Forbes

I love what he showed in his first game. Perfect piece to probe and dish with. Great off the catch for straight line drives. His passing ability will put pressure on the defense at all times. That lob to Bertans was fantastic.

Don't hate Forbes but no reason to be playing him since we signed Mills and drafted White and Yes White is way better then Forbes.

Forbes can't shoot off the dribble. Spot up guy. It's disgusting we gave him any guaranteed money. He's expendable now White is here.

They were asking White after the game how much he's learning from Bryn Forbes (like Bryn is some kind of star). I would have said "nothing, I'm better than him." Forbes is a great shooter, looks like he's strictly a spot up shooter, though, as the for the rest of his game, there's really nothing White can or should be learning from him. I thought that was a pretty horrible question. SA media really does suck. No wonder the FO office always gets a pass. They think guys like Bryn Forbes are good players, so they don't question the FO at all.

With his skill set and all around game, he's like a prototype for a combo guard cause he can play on ball and off ball. Need to see more defensively though. Can't wait to see more.

This is true

He reminds me a lot of CJ McCollum

A little Gilbert Arenas in him...

Time to give this guy a shot.

He's already where he needs to be defensively based off last night

Just start him in Fathead Sr.'s place.

Do you think White can fill the 5pts 3reb in 23 min Anderson left behind?

Fathead's been the Spurs' third best player this season so far tbh.

Ok???
but my question had nothing to do with where you imagine Anderson in the best player category.

It's not an imaginary ranking, it's fact tbh. There is no replacing what Fathead has been bringing to the team outside of Kawhi.

I like his size. Won't expect to see him much for a long time.

So....

I like White's game if it can translate to the pros. Starting him wouldn't be a bad idea given that the Pistons actually play small. I assume Paul will be starting, and honestly, he's been serving up shit burgers for the past few games.

Why would you start a player who has only ever played one game in the NBA in his life?
