If Derrick missed substantial time I can see needing to add one but right now we can put Forbes in the starting line up as "pg" since DeRozan can handle a lot of the pick and roll action now. He is also a good fit spacing wise. Forbes should make a good leap this year. Off the bench we still have Mills and Belli. We need a perimeter defender badly. Not sure what's out there but George Hill for example would be exactly what we need. (Regardless of contract).
Looking further into that SA news report it was dated Oct. 10th prior to last nights game. This injury probably happened in game but I could be wrong. Looked like he played all he could. So far his durability is concerning though but if hes healthy it looks like he will get last year's Dejounte treatment. If not Forbes should get the start.
I'm in agreement with other posters. The problem with White is that he's prone to injury. I would be surprised if he plays all games this season.
What do you mean bodies? Point guard bodies? There is nothing out there. I never agree on tanking unless it's necessary. LMA and DD are one of the better 2 way punches in the league.White had been kinda injury prone too... but he hasn't had injuries as serious as the other two.
Where is tbdog to tell me they don't need bodies bc they are all set?
(Tbdog is one of my faves, but I disagree with him, bc they do need bodies)...
Frankly I am fine with tanking at this point
According to 2k9 white is the fourth fastes player in the league, lol
There’s always someone in the Gleague, specially guards. PATFO shops there regularly.
Great game from DWhite
Told y'all he would be the next Manu.
He sees the floor way better than anyone else on the team.
A lot of posters going to eat Crow when it comes to White
Oh brother, this guy STINKS
Holy this guys can't stop sucking out there. Not only is he shooting 33% from the field and 20% from three, every single possible "advanced" stat has him as a negative. That's almost impossible to do...
Two posters with two takes.
It took White what? 3 games to be demoted behind Bryn and Patty? Let that sink in a second..
Livio Jean-Charles, Nikola Milutinov, James Anderson, Kyle Anderson, Derrick White. Prototypical RC Drunkford first round draft picks.
Jury is still out on Instagram baller and Derrick Rose knees.
He's got all the tools to be a quality third guard, but none of it matters if you lack confidence and are soft.
I realize this is basically his rookie season, but he's already 24, which makes it more difficult to be patient. Not helping matters is the lack of of another viable perimeter defender or secondary play maker.
They need him and if he can't start delivering soon, I'd consider throwing him into trade packages for the likes of Dinwiddie, Rozier and Wright (their teams might prefer to reset the clock with a similar type) before whatever shine he had wears off.
Amazingly people thinking he was better than Murray. haha
Not my guy DAF86 's best take tbh
if he does not learn to make space against the defenders in the main league and keep playing softly, he will not have many years in this league for sure
Spurm fans overrating their scrubs per usual. They think every bum rookie is going to be a star.
Lol I was super wrong about him. I mean I have until January until my prediction is officially wrong but man he is playing with ZERO confidence and just sucks
Hard to believe the Spurs whiffed on late 1at. Round picks
Not hard to believe, actually. RC can't fish at a ing PetSmart.
This guy is easily our best perimeter defender. Time to force him into the lineup and give him time in place of Belli. Belli is just too inconsistent.
I still believe it, tbh. Dude is basically a rookie and you can tell he's playing not to up out there. Even with that, he's already our best defending guard. The offense will come with confidence.
People seem to forget how awful some of Murray's first games were. In fact, he's still not a proven player yet.
