Derrick White

[ceperez]

Fully and obviously expect him to cool off, but his stroke looks so good from midrange. And he's showing a knack to get wide open on those shots. He's also super fluid moving forward to the basket. Deceptively lengthy and swift in his stride.

We shall see when teams start scouting and preparing to stop White. Against the Grizzlies, they shutdown his passing lanes, but he still hit 8-9.

fkn scrub who pad his stats in empty minutes...made a career out for himself doing that ...thanks to clowns like enrique who plays no defense and to busy trading h2h baskets

Jeremy is 6’3” 200, so shorter and lighter.

Height wise they look pretty much the same. Combine #s actually listed Jeremy at 6'4". He is listed 10 lbs heavier than Derrick which is a good bit of difference at the same height. Anyway I guess I mentioned it because I like Lins driving ability and the way he takes contact and gets to the foul line a bit better. Derricks defense is definitely better. Lin's pick and roll game is still a level ahead imo. Ultimately both are great players. Derrick White will likely not sniff an all star game but outcompete all stars on many nights just like Lin has throughout his career. White being the starting gaurd for Spurs is a huge advantage compared to anything Lin was able to get plus he has been unfortunately injury prone throughout his career.

He’s a better defensive version of Eric Gordon.

Gordon is just a chucker. White is much more skilled.

I like my original assessment he is more like a Jeremy Lin. I thought he would be a poor man's version but it looks like we have basically a Jeremy Lin. Hope he stays healthy.

You always introduce yourself this way?

I think white aNd dero will really help Murray. He can focus on shooting, hard drives, and rebounds, and eschew ball handling and play running. Dero is the pg of the team, so there's no reason to have Murray play pg. Lonnie will probably play bench minutes until dero leaves or declines

Dare I say the ceiling is Chauncey Billups

[NameLess Scrub]

I'm glad he's playing much better than I expected. Hope it's sustainable.

[phxspurfan]

Wow dabom/mirrornick/whatever alts really has some terrible takes in this thread lol

[8FOR!3]

2k actually updated the rosters and respected Bertans and Poeltl. Poeltl is a 78 and Bertans is 77 but Whites still a 70 I think. Not sure when the last update was though.

Yeah they did but I think that was before White's sorta breakout 22 point game. So his defense was good and he was just starting to play better but I think the ratings guys look at the box scores than anything. Like after they update him I'm sure his fit in the defensive system will still be terrible which is pretty ridiculous lol. Just like Bertans' defensive rating and fit in 2K is terrible. Poeltl's isn't great either.

Even if someone says White is feasting on teams not scouting him, gotta give credit where credit is due.

White and DJ, wingstop 2.0.

Seems like an odd factoid, but even so, White is the only guard in the bunch.

[ceperez]

Wow, the pressure is now on for DW to keep his streak! I will be in complete shock if he still hits 70% and 19+ in the next game.

There aren’t even any wings on that list. In fact, the only player who wasn’t a true center was Manning.

No pressure. I have been a huge DWhite fan from the get-go, but those numbers are so ethereal that nobody could expect them to continue. I do hope he performs at a high level, though, especially going on the road after such a streak. And I expect he will do that.

Exactly. I don't know how many odd 3-game factoids you could dig up, but the fact that they are all bigs except White makes it very interesting.

[Mr. Body]

I'm not sure what scouting is going to do. If teams are game planning for the Spurs' fourth option, imagine how this opens things up for the top three.

FG% >= 65
PTS >= 15

DW is on 3 right now. Looks like 4 is good company but has been done many times. If he gets to 5 that'll be some noteworthy company.

sn: Siakam with a 4 game streak of his own in November

Would have been a robbery if we got him in the Kawhi trade, people should stop being upset we didn't get him

[hater]

I said he sucks so I will be sticking to mu opinion for now

Wish I am wrong thou. But hardly ever I am

Secretly rooting for this scrub

I agree, this situation could get even better
