Cool. Great to hear that he's been working that hard. Is there an article or something about him where this is mentioned?

Not that I recall, no.
Bump. Quickly becoming a fan of this guy.

He's been awesome lately. Shouldn't use that to hate on Murray though, he's younger and is a different type of prospect. Both can contribute to the team.
I think he’d look decent if he shaved his head
Just as long as it isn't his uncle.
0 assists tonight wtf Derrick?
Last 3 games, he is virtually not missing shots!
I don't think that even Rudy Gay this year has been as efficient as White. Spurs aren't losing if White keeps this up and Gay gets back to his past efficient form.
If you are shooting 90% then why should you pass?? You play based on what the defense is giving you. If the assist opportunities were not there (maybe because Grizzlies were hedging by expect passes from White) then no reason to force it.
White is looking more and more like a member of the big 3 .... Aldridge, DeRozan and White. Mindbogging for a 2nd year rookie (that probably gets to to play in the Allstar rookies-sop re game).
yes, it's like people who want Kawhi to have 4 5 assists, as if it were some kind of proof that the guy is a good passer, Derrick White read the game perfectly and was a scorer because that's what defense gave, great players have the ability to adapt to the game
White is the best player in the Spurs roster in reading the defense. The Grizzlies are a pretty good defensive team (#6 this season), likely the passing lanes were not there when White had the ball.
White is not like DeRozan that has the athleticism to force a play. DeRozan can just jump in traffic and his athleticism finds a way to pass the ball to someone. Contrast to Gay that has trouble passing in traffic. Anyway Spurs only weakness this year is a lack of good individual defender. Offense is definitely clicking though.
people were limiting White's potential ceiling because of age, but I do not really believe that age outweighs the experience against NBA level players, he's polishing his game every day, and really he could turn out to be a star in any moment
I think his 3 pt % for the year is up to 35% now? I don't know if he'll ever be 40% in the NBA because of that lean, but if he hits 35% the rest of the year that's not bad.
one guy can shoot, the other guy cant...so who u want? give me white, end of the day ball in basket wins games...
Yeah, the age thing is a wrong measure. White grew a couple of inches in college and played division 2 for 3 years. So he was still growing up while he was 18-20 years old. Now look at Walker, the guy is a man at 18 years of age.
Players who mature early have the other problem of deteriorating early. Look at McGrady, his best years were at 23-24, after being in the league for 6-7 years. He was done by age 28.
Age is a good measure for the athletic freaks like LeBron, but shouldn't be the measure for all players. A better measure is year over year progress. White and Forbes have made big strides becoming better every year. But compare that with other Spurs drafts like Hill and Cojo, both plateaued very early.
Pairing Westbrook lite with Manu lite is not bad. Not bad at all.
Dejounte vs Derrick is the new age TP vs Manu. We are soon going to have Murray s and White s
A number of people have already queued up.
White seems to be more efficient than Murray.
What about Walker IV? Spurs own Donovan Mitc shouldn't be out of the conversation!
Now that White is 1 1/2 years into his pro career and has gotten solid minutes recently I thought it’d be interesting to go back and look at his nbadraft.net evaluation. Unfortunately Draft Express is no longer around. Actually though I think nbadraft did a good job breaking down White’s game.

He will be a plus 40% shooter from 3. Kid works too hard.
The past two years he shot 40% ( Colorado) and 35% ( Austin & SA combined) from 3.
