2018 Summer League

Right, and the tough Dookie is going to set things right.

Never said that. Until nba fans care about the game more than dunks and chucking threes, you will only see the game continue to get worse.

[tholdren]

At a minimum, one would hope he (White) would get Forbes minutes this upcoming season.

No white should take murrays spot. Forbes is better than murray

Lol, okay, whitey.

LMFAO!!!

He's more of a center than a SF in the NBA.

As much a center as Jordan Bell who played occasional center for GS. In selected small ball situations a guy his size, agility, leaping ability, foot speed, defensive instincts, ability to put the ball on the floor and shoot could get away playing anywhere fro 3 to 5. Not that he’s there now but it’s concievable.

His mobility isn't good enough to play SF for long stretches. He has never played SF and I doubt he starts now, tbh.

No way he could play SF full time but a guy with his agility could get away with it against some line ups for limited time. I thought he moved his feel very well the few times he got switched on smaller players.

i think this was the takeaway. i think he's better off as a 2 than a 1. his passing ability is nice, and there is always room for a SG to pick up 3-5 assists per game. but he's not breaking people down off the dribble. it's why i think he's a good fit starting next to murray. he has PnR ability, though. so he can play that manu, quasi-pg role at times.

White doesn’t profile as a Re or Kyle Korver shooter in terms of style or of course degree, nor does he have the ultra deceptive space-creating chops of a McCollum. He’s also not as fast running away from guards to create separation as teammate Patty Mills. But there is secondary versatile shot-making upside here.

I emphasize secondary creation because White is optimized as a shooter and creator in advantage settings, masking his lack of dynamic first step from a stand-still and average burst. With a head of steam off a dribble hand-off or in a setting like the following in transition, White definitely has the ball-handling control and change of direction to navigate his way around the court, especially with the threat of his shot to pull-up at any instant

That seems overrated to me. Nash was a supreme PG and wasn't fast at all. A simple pick would bust a defense open. White has good handles and has nice court vision at this time.

Yep and nash invented dribbling under the basket and back out. Best court vision of all time

[Spurs9]

Kawhi for Korkmaz

[Mr. Body]

For Korkmaz straight up.

[picnroll]

Where did Korkmaz come from? Draft?

[Mr. Body]

Where did Korkmaz come from? Draft?

Turkey

[Joseph Kony]

would love to have a guy named "Furkan" on the team

[picnroll]

I know Turkey but how was he acquired?

[picnroll]

Ok./26th by Philly in 2016

[tholdren]

Lol, okay, whitey.

Wow, proved a great point....

[Spurs9]

I forgot Monty went to Philly, I definitely see Kawhi ending up there eventually.

[HarlemHeat37]

Where are all the good basketball players in the world, in your opinion? You seem to know something the rest of us don't..

Dook and Utah. They have to be white, though.

Who knows. Some are on the bench, some stars, others do not get drafted. You are a slave to the media if you think everyone in this league is the best basketball player in the world.
