if he continues to play like this, could care less a bout his hairstyle
I love that White was the stopper. ing fantastic.

I am a fan.He was pretty spectacular tonight.
I am because of our need of a mobile big during the off-season. I thought as well that Jordan Bell would be good, looking at the Warriors right I thought he would have a better production considering that Javale and Zaza leaves then Draymond and Damion were got injured but it seems he's sucking right now - just look at his stats but not sure with the advanced stats though but he dropped his minutes this season compared to last year.
They both may look like aliens, but I don't think they're of the same species or from the same planet.
Indeed. I really wanted a big in that draft, so Bell and Bolden still being on the board stung. But I started to change my tune when RC said in the post-draft interview that they thought White had untapped athletic potential. That's really what sets Derrick apart from those steady low-ceiling guards that hover between the d-league and NBA like Archidiacono. You take an intangibles/skills guy and tell me he has above-average athleticism, and you've got me intrigued.
The guy had a good game and showed some game.
Me as well. But once I started watching White more that summer, the more and more I liked him.
White has busted his tail the past two summers. 7 hours a day 6x a week w 3 hours dedicated to shooting. Kid is a well rounded stud.
Let us hope you're repeating those words about Lonnie soon too!
huge fan of DW! dude's defense is what excites me. i love hard-nose defenders and white is starting to come out as one of the best in the league atm. very impressed! it was that LA overtime game that really got me watching DW religiously though.
How many of his plays embarrassed #2 of the Raptors?
He's unexpectedly swift. He has good vertical athleticism, but what surprises is how quick he is moving with the ball. Not Parker quick, but swift and darting.
He's skilled finishing contested layups at the basket, too. One of Murray's most frustrating aspects was precisely his one handed floaters that had no chances of going in and how he missed layups he should have made.
That on top of him not shooting well and passing up shots made him frustrating to watch offensively. White doesn't have that same problem finishing plays at the basket and has a better looking shot.
I hoped Murray was going to be much better offensively this year and he will have to catch up next season, but the point is that White is already ahead in that department.
I wonder what kind of phone DW uses tbh
Sort of. Biting on pump-fakes in a one-on-one case isn't advisable in any case I know. That's completely different from a close-out scenario. People refer to those resets as fakes, but they aren't, in my opinion. A fake is when you never intend to shoot it but make the motion to force a reaction. On those close-outs, the guy intends to shoot and then changes his mind when the defender jumps at him. There's a lot less control and rhythm in the latter scenario, which is why it's more effective.
Interestingly enough, we did talk about ways of countering that type of close-out by embracing the reset and lining up a better shot. Back in the day, teams weren't well-equipped to do that. They seem to be much more able to maintain their concentration nowadays. I think that's the league evolving to counter that type of close-out. I haven't compiled the number for that issue in years, but it's possible that the math has changed as this three-point revolution has progressed.
Derrick looks like the 2nd panel of an evolution chart but he's easily my favorite player on the roster this season tbh.
This Derrick White fellow might be good
I interested to see if Pop is 100% committed to DWhite in the SL, including teams like Lakers, Warriors, etc. I hope we have seen the end of Dante in the starting lineup
give credit where credit is due, why mention any other spurs player not playing just to remain relevant?
Derrick seems like a perfect Spur player. He's really stepped up. Hope he can keep it up.
Where did you get those workout numbers from?
the Raptors game was one of the few times I've watched him this year, I didn't realize how ugly this mans is..he makes Kyle Anderson look like Kelly Oubre..
