To me he reminds me of Chauncey Billups the way he plays and his ability to run the offense. Granted physically he's not as big as Chauncey but the way he plays seems very similar. I'm also not saying he'll be as good as Chauncey.I love White but Jason Kidd is a hall of famer. He's also already 24. I'd be thrilled if he became an above average starter in the league and it looks like he's definitely trending that way, pretty damn good for another late round pick.
Dont forget we need to dump LMA for Giannis or AD.
I don't remember how he was defensively, but otherwise, I think a fair comparison is Andre Miller.
i'm not all that excited over his 22 point game since it came on a night where he got 9 shots. he was hot for a game, but it's not like something clicked and he understood how to score. i'll believe that when he strings together some high scoring games when he's generating 15+ FGA.
anyone can get hot for a night and just hit a low volume of shots. if he's going to continue to hover around 8 FGA and you're realistically looking at a guy who's going to score 10 or so ppg. he's basically at danny green volume... and yeah there were times he got hot and scored 20.
that said, yeah, white has shown at lower levels that he has the tools to be a more assertive scorer. im just sayin his 22 point game wasn't really an example of that... but if he can sustain his level of defensive play, it doesn't matter. that's good enough to start. as his offense, namely his outside shooting ability/confidence improves, watch out
That’s an impossible standard. Lma + DeRozan + Rudy. Not that type of volume nor his role.
I couldn't expect White to score that much as an average. Mid teens seems like where he'll be most of his career.
i know. i dont think the role is there for him to just step up and take, and its not fair to expect him to be an 18ppg scorer right now (provided gay is playing)
but if his FGA's lately are 9-6-6-6-7-9-6-9 and in one game he just happens to hit 8 of 9 en route to scoring 20+ points, im not seeing that as a turning point or a breakout
It’s more about impact and assertiveness along with how he’s scoring. It his 3 ball above nba average? Is he showing the ability to get to the rim? Is he not hesitating and making good decisions. Those are the things that should be viewed and if he’s doing that it’s safe to say he can score whether it’s 8 attempts or 15 IMO.
His role on offense is mostly creation, but just him being a legit threat and not hesitating is where his offensive value will be since it opens things up for everyone.
The defense on Kyrie was a breakout performance. It shows that he can guard different All-Star level players on a consistent basis. But you are right, nobody is expecting him to average 18 points a game. However, him being less gun shy and attacking the basket and finding open players are all things that he can do. He is finding his comfort level on offense now and the Boston game point wise may not be repeatable consistently, but his newfound confidence and attacking at ude is what they Spurs really need. And this game adds to this newfound mentality
To me, if his 3PT shot is legit (which I think it is) his ceiling is a better defensive version of Eric Gordon.
I’m not sure he will ever be as good as him but he reminds me a lot of CJ McCollum.
White reminds me most of Sam Cassell.
lol comparing him to a guy who sometimes have 6pts or below nights when his a starter?...mccollum the player and the announcer = both pos same smell...
Right now, White reminds me of a poor man Jrue Holiday.
I have no idea what you’re trying to say my bad
This man played really well against the Raptors and really took control of his opportunities and his role despite Aldridge and Derozan looking for blood this game. Development and find of Derrick White truly cements RC Buford and Pop as MASTER talent evaluators. Just incredible how good this guy is already. Testament to him being such a hardworker D2 to NBA.
Exactly! It’s another reminder that we shouldn’t rush to judge players drafted by the spurs in their first season. Makes me really excited and confident they will find another talent this summer and what’s even better is they get 2 shots in the first round!
The future looks nice. Hope he doesn't bounce.
PopaGOAT and RC did it again. What a ing steal. I know hes like 29 already but still this guy is special.
People wanted Jordan Bell over this guy at the time.
He's saying McCollum is an overrated, one dimensional hack and he's right. Don't insult White like that.I have no idea what you’re trying to say my bad
spurs better lock him in on a good deal, and not some bull low ball offer where he take his talents elsewhere
Looking good.
He's looking like a seven year veteran these last few games.
