I thought of McCollum too but held myself from mentioning it bc too small sample. He has a nice jumper, which made me think of CJ.
I think his ceiling is CJ Mcollum type with better d.

i have no doubt in my mind White can compete in the NBA, hes mature thats a huge plus hes not a one and done player and hes used to working his way to the top if you know his story before he made it to D1. The games he has played this season in the NBA hes played pretty well and confident. I actually went to the Spurs/Warriors game in Golden State where he played well and looked confident as ,
I think we jinxed him. 4-18 in the final game and Nick Johnson gets the Finals MVP, ouch! Still hope he turns out to be our new starting sg next year.
Will he be on the playoff roster?
No. They will keep an empty seat for Leonard before White.
What's the roster limit? Same as regular season? 13 Players? 12 Active, 1 Inactive?
In alphabetical order...
01) LaMarcus Aldridge
02) Kyle Anderson
03) Davis Bertans
04) Bryn Forbes
05) Pau Gasol
06) Rudy Gay
07) Manu Ginobili
08) Danny Green
09) Joffrey Lauvergne
10) Kawhi Leonard
11) Patty Mills
12) Dejounte Murray
13) Tony Parker
14) Brandon Paul
15) Derrick White
I would be tempted to leave out J. Lauvergne and B. Paul to make room for White. But yeah, it's a risky move only because of the position.
There is no such thing as a playoff roster anymore. Only limit is you can't use two-way guys. This has been the case for a really long time now. I'm frankly shocked this keeps coming up.
I hadn't researched that limitation before. Thanks for clearing it up though.
NP. The playoff roster has been gone for like a decade, if not a decade-and-a-half. I think the two-way guys are causing some confusion, because you have to be on the real 15 to play in the post-season. The media mentioned Cook and a couple of other two-ways guys around the league being converted by yesterday to be eligible for the playoffs but decided to frame it in terms of a "playoff roster" for some reason.
No two-way players (which is why Casspi was released from GS - to convert Cook to a full-time player) & the only thing teams do in the playoffs is name two inactives each game from the roster
Murray, Forbes and Tony getting minutes over this guy.
Just plain bad.Murray, Forbes and Tony getting minutes over this guy.
Guy was never given a chance to compete for rotation minutes. Much more important for Forbes to be given a scholarship due to a spectacular summer league where he was shooting 40% from the field
Good news: Derrick White looks really damn good and is in for some big minutes next season
Bad news: He's the best guard on the roster
Worse news: he'll be behind Marco, Mills, Green, and Porker/Forbes in the rotationGood news: Derrick White looks really damn good and is in for some big minutes next season
Bad news: He's the best guard on the roster
Bellineli going to eat all of derrick whites minutes, sadly.
Beli and White are completely different players and DWhite has gotten a chance to get over himself tbh......
So please get it right, Beli is gonna eat Lonnie's minutes
He didn't look that good imho, not to the point we can say he is better than DJ. Don't forget Kyle used to look pretty good in summer league as well.
haven't seen game, walker play? 1st thoughts? (guarded I know at this point )
Dejounte was terrible in summer league tbh, White looks to be the superior NBA player already. I wouldn't be surprised if White is the starting 2 guard 10 games in since he'll be the only guard on the team that can create a shot.
White's play making is smoother and more in control, and DJ can't really shoot outside of 10 feet..
Murray - White as starting back court?
the point is that Mills and Green as a back court don't work too well...both of them can't carry the ball...
I guess we will see what happens. I am rooting for the guy to be great. All am saying is that there are guys who did bad during summer and well in the NBA and guys that were Summer ALL STARS but haven't done much for us yet.
The fact that White can make the outside shot is very exciting, but I can assure you that neither his defense nor his rebounding will be as good DJ's and you are kinda ASSuming that DJ will not improve? That's silly, let's see what both bring to the table next season before we crown White the winner. But again I count on DJ taking a giant leap in his third year especially with everyone healthy and knowing each other and the system a bit better.
