How they processed his combine stats:
He'd probably rather be called Fathead than SloMo.

Be fun to see the player find out about Spurstalk. How there are churches or shrines for them and how much we on them. "What is a fathead?"
But how his vertical compare to this year class?How they processed his combine stats:
Going to need a new numberNew Spurs always need a nickname. I'm going on record with "The Tongue". And while you're looking at the pic, stare at it a minute and tell me if it looks like his face got Photoshopped onto someone else's head. I swear, the front side of his head doesn't match the back side.
Looks like he wanted the call to be over so he could go back to Candy Crush.
Well given his age, he should play immediately. He's practically a veteran.

Just don't stretch too much when reaching. By suppressing your reach, you immediately improve your vertical when they do the calculations.
It really looks like he wants to end the call with Pop as soon as possible. I hope FO is right but he doesn't look like a Pop's player by all means
Agreed. Don't know if the tears came from listening to Pop say "Listen to me big boy, you made it. You're in the NBA now. But first, why is Pluto no longer a Planet?"
DW -
- Doghouse.
But thanks to his tweets, we don't know why he was crying.
He is going to be groomed as a SG with some backup chops as PG aka Manu.
Murray Had basically no shot, because he could walk to the rim at will and it never developed. He left early, with the now #1 pick coming in. He was a big question mark in body weight, shot, turnover issues etc. There wasn't enough tape on the kid to know if he was trending good or bad in a system that relied on running and lobs, there wasn't much evidence for setting up plays either.
Maybe Pop started talking politics with him.
I was thinking this same thing
He turns 23 in a few weeks. Let's not act like he's Brandon Weeden getting drafted in his late 20s
You're not telling me anything I don't know. I still don't know why he dropped past players with similar glaring flaws.
Great pick. Some spurstalk posters were emotionally invested into a lesser prospect than Kyle Anderson though.
The rookie of the year last year was older than White.
Poop probably got nasty with him on some of his older tweets.
I really like the pick now reviewing his tape.
Seems like he fits in what the Spurs like to do offensively, especially in the pick n roll.
How he fades away sometimes on his jump shot kind of bothers me, but it is fixable.
He doesn't have gifted talent like Murray did last year, and some of the lottery prospects but he is a BASKETBALL player.
Murray seemed to force things in college, which White seems to do also. Murray in my opinion improved in that aspect this season a bit.
Yeah he is about to be 23 kind of sucks. Oh well, he's not a player that relies on a lot of athleticism anyways.
The thing that intrigues me is that he is late bloomer, and they think his body is still developing to get taller, and his athleticism keeps improving.
Yeah I preferred Bell, Bolden, or Jackson at that pick but I'm not very disappointed looking at him now.

People forget that George Hill was less than a year younger than White when drafted. Played at a mid-major and not Pac 12 (the dude was first team all conference - other guards were the 1/2 picks in the draft plus the UCLA coach's son).
If he were a freak athlete he wouldn't have been available at 29. Many freak athletes at 29 never become anything.
Best part about this pick means it's unlikely they'll burn money on Mills this offseason. Let some other team pay him
To those who wanted Bell ... yes, would have been nice had someone other than GS grabbed him and their embarrassment of riches. But not sure if he contributes more than Dedmon did.
What's crazy is he's another major shot blocking guard - sound like someone who's leaving opens the door for that skillset ?
