He's legit
White didn't play enough at the point to make anyone think he's competing with Murray for minutes.
He's legit
The few games he played in he did very well and showed he was clearly One of the better ball handlers second to only Manu and Tony.
Thats why I like older players unless they really special. Guys like Murray and Walker take two to three years to be NBA ready
He's tony's replacement more than Manu's
The one thing that I really like about White is that he can get guys easy looks. I can see him playing with Murray and doing a lot of a club door cuts for easy dunks for Walker or Murray.
I'm thinking Mills white would work, then Murray belli. Green moves more to SF in the 3 guard lineup.
I'm hoping he gets some run. I would like to see him and Walker both crack the rotation.
His court vision is way beyond Murray's.
Yup. I expect White to get an opportunity to play this upcoming season and Walker to go to Austin.
Agreed. In summer league Dejounte didn't look like he could get his shot and thus he kept attempting very ugly floaters (and missing). If anything, his maturation as a player is that he has learned to run Pops system and score oo look for shots within that system. A lot of his scoring came on offensive rebounds or cuts. In PNR, Dejounte still needs a lot of work. We shall see what happens this upcoming season. He may work on that this summer and hopefully be better.
At this point it is safe to say Green is our 3. Mills is our SG now with DJ at pg. I see Derrick White as backup pg and Marco/Manu as our back up sg and 3. Anderson and Gay as our 4s. Gasol and Aldrodge as our 5s. TP will probably be our 3rd pg.
Where’s my 4tres at?
Nice play tonight. We know Pop is gonna hold back his potential this year to justify that scrub Mills and his 50 million, but White has been nice to watch regardless.![]()
Great game tonight.
Hoping for more games like that.
Dude just needs to continue to be aggressive and look for his shot more. Part of that is on him and the other is on the coaching staff to get him minutes where he doesn't have to defer to Derozan or Fatty
I agree.
The biggest thing that would help White and his scoring is Pop limiting Fatty's minutes.
White is hamstrung because he only gets the first 6 minutes of each half to play before Fatty gets subbed, often times he only gets 5:30 or so. But as the point guard, he has to make sure the two divas get their touches and looks so they don't start pouting, while also accounting for iso-rudy. On top of all that he has to watch out for Rudy pulling "point Gay" and deciding to be the ballhandler after rebounds.
If Pop would take Mills down to 15 and only increase it when someone's playing terribly, I think White would have more time to get his scoring rhythm.
Love watching him on defense and running the offense. Just wish he could hit 3's, I'm sure that will come in time tho.
Did he have a defensive coming out party or was it a fluke. Whatever good he did he threw it all away by missing free throws in clutch time. Yes, he was not the only one, but it was his game to shine.
He missed ONE ING FT, so perhaps you should STFU, and stop being a moron.
Unlike Forbes who's only role seem to shoot the ball, White has to do a ton of thinking on offense.
That's perhaps why he is missing the open 3s. He just needs more time. This will come, just need to be patient.
Yeah, his shooting will totally come around. He's trying to get up to speed on every other function of the game right now.
White could be in the running for the 6th man of the year next season (2019/2020). Once his 3pt shot starts falling at the NBA level like it was in the G-League, which may take a full season of playing a major roll (6th man) could lead to him starting next to Murray in the (2020/2021) season. Besides the fact that the Spurs would have maybe the best defensive backcourt in the league, White would also be able to relieve some of the point guard pressure if teams try and hound Murray (High Dribble) the way P. Beverly did a couple years ago.
Awe, did poor little baby get a boo boo. Missing a clutch free throw that cost the game is what it is and no amount of tears from you will change that.
Now, man up, blow your nose and stop the sobbing, whining, crying, etc.
No he did not the FT is not worth more than 1 point the Spurs would still had lost the game if he hit that FT. Without White in the third quarter there would totally be no discussion on the ending. This loss is on the big's poor defensive rebounding, the 3pt Squads for failing to hit 3 pointers, the all stars player unable to score in clutch time, the rest of the squad unable to stop Denver from scoring. It is not on White who is on the Squad for defence. In the 3rd quarter the rest of the team allows Denver to score almost as many points in 1+ min as the 10+ min White is playing.
