Spurs Select G Derrick White in the 2017 NBA Draft (29th Overall)

[cd98]

White can defend. You don't avg that many steals and blocks with defensive instincts.

You could for Colorado.

[Dverde]

I do like that they reached for somebody instead of someone who dropped

[ginobilized]

He must've had a tremendous workout for the Spurs.
The Spurs trust their metrics and the results of the players they workout. I know that
Gary Neal was signed almost entirely based on his workout.
Curious pick, nonetheless.

[ducks]

Lol people hate white because everyone wanted LMA gone tonight

[RD2191]

He'll be a solid bench player for us.

[SnakeBoy]

He looks like he's uncomfortable being the center of attention...Spur for life

[BC3]

He is a point guard mills is not and he can shoot

This kid is. A pg? Can u verify this?

[objective]

objective man bro i really wanted Bolden

yeah, it's disappointing.

But look on the brightside. We'll have another bulbous, receding orb to enjoy.

Measurements:


Height: 6'5

Impressive reach and vertical.

That ain't impressive bruh

[Spur|n|Austin]

It's official.

Spurs are done.

Lol because of their 29th draft pick?

Most mock drafts had him about where the Spurs drafted.

[TheGreatYacht]

Warriors get Jordan Bell

RC BUFORD

OK, starting to warm to this guy.

[Kurik]

That ain't impressive bruh

"White fared relatively well in the athletic testing posting average marks in the speed and agility testing, coming through with an impressive 34 inch no-step vertical leap, which would have been one of the top marks among guards at last year's NBA Combine." - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...k-White-95407/ ©DraftExpress

The Spurs weren't going to improve in 2017-2018 through the draft. Back to the Free Agency route it is.

I feel like I've read this post the past 3 drafts

[Mr. Body]

Last Division II player to make it into the NBA was Ben Wallace. WE STACKED.

[Keepin' it real]

In honor of this pick, everyone "Go Spurs Go" on three.

1 ... 2 ... 3 ...

[keithington1]

He made the Pac 12 all defensive team

[rjv]

Lol because of their 29th draft pick?

Stop trying to be the voice of reason.

[cd98]

Starting to wish we did a draft and stash.

[TimDunkem]

Meanwhile, Warriors get Jordan Bell for peanuts.

[xellos88330]

The only way I can like this pick is with a damn good screener. I am talking the brick wall kind of screener. He is going to need help attacking. Get some meat to lay out his defender and it is at least salvageable on offense. On defense it seems he is a bit of a question mark. He does seem to be in position quite often. I just wonder how he is battling through screens.

[BatManu20]

Meanwhile, Warriors get Jordan Bell for peanuts.

Steal. He's going to be a monster defensively imo. Doesn't need to score for them. And they got him for $3.5M... joke.

Yeah, let's compare him to last year class. Even better, let's compare him to John Stockton's 24" vertical
