I'd prefer White play over Patty right now fwiw.
I've been very impressed with his play as of late and as of right now, I think he could offer more overall than either Patty or Tony -- on both ends.
And White has a reputation for being a scoring guard who can hold his own on D (All-Defense for his conference in college). Plus RC apparently said they think he has high athletic potential, which makes him an exciting player to add to the rotation.

The problem is you got 50 million then sitting on the bench but yeah I agree the sooner Pop gives the the keys to Murray and White the sooner we get to the promise land. That’s why I Like is trying to get the Herzl kid in New York so we have a good backup for LMA/Gasol and we can bring in our foreign Center next year or the year after
Blossomgame will be the real deal sooner than later. He will be a rotation player in SA next season.
Not sold on Blossom yet he has good games but not put anything back to back still needs to work on his shooting. I think he will need another year to improve before he can make the leap.
The guy that most suprised me is Livio he had had great back to back games and I am talking the whole thing scoring, rebounding, and even assist he looks like a new man. I wonder if his and Brimah recent sucess can be attributed to White being such a great facilitator?

Livio continues his streak of 20+ points and a good job of rebounding today he is starting to get my hopes up talk about a late bloomer
You’re funny. Kyle Anderson was a Dleague god. He averaged 20/5/5 one year. JB’s numbers aren’t close to that. What makes you think he’ll be any better in the NBA than Kyle is?
I still haven't quite figured out how Livio didn't get a two-way, though to be fair, he would have been third in my line after Hanlan and Blossomgame. The Spurs no longer have his rights, so it's not like they'd lose anything by having him sitting on the bench over Costello (who is also a good player btb). It seems pretty clear that LJC and the Spurs worked something out there they'd waive him while keeping him in the d-league for the time his guaranteed money ran. If that's the case, then it would have just made sense to make that assignment official by giving him the two-way designation. Hopefully, if Livio is in the team's long-term plans, they get to sign him rather than him being poached.
Incidentally, a lot of the highlights have him referred to as a "seven-footer". LJC was listed at 6-8/6-9 during the draft, so did he grow, or are people just getting more blatant rounding up heights? The former would not surprise me, as LJC is deceptively young. To put it into perspective, Livio is younger than Forbes and less than a year older than White and Blossomgame. By no means is he too old to be in Pop's plans.

Livio still had a strong game.
He reminds me of the bruno caboclo draft. Size athleticism and lenght plus very young when drafted but he was "2 years away from being 2years away".
Like Bruno, perhaps they are still young enough that maybe they can be a late bloomer.
He appears to be playing better than last year. He needs to get on team's radars with a good summer league showing.
The difference with caboclo, correct me if i’m Wrong, is that Livio was killed by his acl injury. He lost his athletism wich was one of his biggest strenght.
He seems to refind his physical tools.
You are correct. Livio looked like an old man on the court until recently. Kudos to him for sticking it out.
In other news, Brimah turned 24 today.
Another good game from Livio 27 minutes 13 rebounds and 19 puts. Toros Win.
At this archaic organization. I click on Jean-Charles' name, get linked to his profile page and click on his most recent highlights and what do I see? Him repeatedly spacing to 18-20 instead of 3 and jacking long mid rangers like Parker, Anderson, Aldridge, etc. This organization refuses to get with the times.
Seeing some posts on Twitter and Youtube that claim that Amida Brimah is joining Partizan.
Guess we'll see. But no point in hanging around the Spurs for that G-League money when he knows no he won't get a 10 day from the Patty Spurs. Might as well go make what he can and showcase for the other Euro teams.
"relax, we have Joffrey"
I was hopeful about him but he needs more seasoning I think for his career going over seas is a good option for him.
Blossom is having some good games and the kid is a great rebounder. I wonder as one poster said having Kawhi play SG and Blossom at SF would that work?
One thing I have noticed is that after Livio had several good games double digits scoring and rebounding his minutes have been reduced to about 15 a game. But while his scoring is down from obvious reduced minutes his percentage is still really good as well as rebounding.
White continues to put up 20 pats a game and it’s easy to see he belongs in the NBA and will be getting minutes next year.
LJC signed a two month deal with Unicaja Malaga: http://www.eurohoops.net/en/acb/6380...ort-term-deal/
Decent team, currently 8th place in the ACB (lowest playoff seed), still 9 games left to play in the regular season.
His first two games were unimpressive. Not easy to adjust to a completely different style of play at this point of the season.
At least someone made it to the west conference finals: White in the gleague.
http://gleague.nba.com/games/20180402/RGVAUS/
Might the Toros have a real chance at the gleague championship this season much like CoJo back in the day?
Did not know about Livio. Good for him, I guess. The Spurs tend to not let their assignees play in the d-league post-season, so we may not be seeing White participate. Dunno how the two-way guys will fare, though. Nice to see Blossom still chugging along.
CoJo and Kyle both participated in the Toros postseason their rook years. Their teams were good enough to make it to the gleague postseason though.
Last season the gleague team didn't make the postseason so Forbes and Dijon didn't get that opportunity.
White played in an elimination game with the team so I think he's getting his chance.
Next April 5 is their next game and it's a single elimination game in that round too.
Only the Gleague finals are 3 games (it used to be each round was the best 2 of 3 games--a mini series, but no more). He will be done playing, even if the Toros make the finals, b4 the NBA playoffs start.
