That's some goty stuff, mods.
Unfortunately, that's how it seems as of right now. This guy has a better shot and is a worse defenderand is a little smaller is all.

Happy 23rd birthday to the kid
Worse defender? Didn't this guy make an All Defensive Team for his conference at least?
Given his height and decent level of athleticism, he's going to be a better defender than Mills, Parker or Forbes.
The reality though is that Spurs have an too many 1's and 2's.
Mills, Parker, Forbes, White, Murray, Green, Simmons. That's not even counting Manu, Leonard and Anderson that can also play one of those positions. Now add potentially Hanga coming in this year. That's 11 positions!!!
On the other side you got slip pickings with Bertans, Pau, Aldridge, Blossomgame.
Obviously now... someone is not making the team or is being traded.
Worse defender? Uhhh... I guess we'll see, but this kid could D up.
Simmons is not on the team yet. Manu is not on the team right now. Parker is completely out until at least Feb and maybe forever. Forbes is an afterthought. Murray is nothing but a ulus cloud of potential right now.
Let's wait til at least Simmons and Manu shake out, bud.
Yeah, although I've been hard on this kid, I like his defensive potential rather than his offensive game, tbh. He could do some things on that side of the court.
Happy 28th birthday, rook!
Guards galore!
Pop will get such a boner that not even viagra can match!
Kid will be past his prime by the time we get rid of Porker and get him playing time at the 1.
So hey, he's got that going for him.
Not so fast

What? Yes, they have guns! Start spitting men.
Maybe. I don't see him being that good at the NBA level though.
This guy has done nothing but improve and prove people wrong his whole life so far. And at an unusual rate since high school. I'm not gonna doubt him yet. I feel like he's on an upward slope. Can't wait to see him play tomorrow.
He has the tools to be a good defender. Has shown he competes and gets better at every level. Nothing has shown he can't be a good defender. only thing i can think of are the reports on him not being athletic, which are ridiculous. He doesnt have elite athleticism, but neither does Kawhi Leonard. He does alright.
I doubt him. As a Spurs fan, I hope he proves me wrong.
He's a bit on the slow side from what I've seen. That's a red mark from the start. Slow guards don't tend to be good defenders.
Steal of the draft and spurstalk is disappointed
Not sure where youre you're getting that. Did you take the time to look at his combine results?
Colorado Guard Derrick White posted the second best three-quarter sprint time at 3.08 (97th percentile historically) and tied for the third best standing vertical leap at 35.5 (99th percentile historically). The D2 transfer combo guard was a rather unheralded prospect until this season. White measured 6'4.5 with shoes with a 6'7.5 wingspan which is very similar to the physical measurements of Chicago Bulls guard Jerian Grant, but his athletic testing results are very similar to those of Mike Conley's.
Besides the fact he looks like KA, I dont understand the hate for this kid! He'll be in the D League his 1st yr anyeays...
Too many posters not consulting the draft report and making comments based on the 'eye-test'.
Seriously, does it not sound like a steal with a guy that is as athletic as Mike Conley and already being able to handle the ball and shoot extremely well.
I think Murray may be out of a job.
This is my 1st time watching videos of this dude... I like him. I really like lil Forbes, but I think he's the odd man out... his height will be his downfall.
