What a disappointment, 4-7 57% . His only positive is 9-9 from the free throw line.

He's a big guard so I'd expect him to bullyball smaller guards down the line, create double-teams. Similar to what most guards do to Mills
57%, streak over :/https://www.basketball-reference.com...mp=ge&c2val=15
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
He might already have that, he’s had so much success blowing by his defender latlely he’s been having no need for that.
Yep, he already has that step back. Just hasn't needed to show it, but he did this often enough in g-league.
Or TP in his prime when he made a living in the paint.
Let's not compare him to a HOF just yet, tbh.
I still have not figured out a good comparison for him I've seen a bit of billups, but now it looks a bit like Payton without the above average athletics (s the closest comparison I can find at that time)
Andre Miller?
Still with Sam Cassell. Good balance, takes contact and scores well, not super athletic but patient, probing ball handler, dangerous at the basket, mid and long range, good court vision/passer, very solid defender. Eventually he should develop Cassell’s excellent post up game.
Good call. Cassell also had a big early impact.
Second best pure point guard in Spurs history
I doubt Derrick White shares your opinion.
I haven't watched him play much, what exactly is he doing that has made him so efficient? His current stretch is historic, so don't just say positive regression..
timvp once said that posting up on manu is like trying to give a cat a bath
1st of all, he's elite at defense for a 6'4'' guy.
On offense, he is just playing with more confidence. He's actually looking for the hoop. He's no longer playing not to up. He attacks the basket with a purpose and knows how to finish. Then, he's also just making jumpers at an above average level. He will probably cool off a bit on that regard.
He's just a well rounded player with a very high IQ. He will be good for years to come.
Pretty much doing the same he was doing during summer league minus the bright green light to shoot all the time. Definitely playing with a lot more confidence and using screens a lot better to actually attack and not just look to kick it back out to Derozan/LMA/Forbes. Basically, the game slowed down for him.
There was also a big difference between his first year in summer league and last summer. Last summer he was just on fire, until he got injured.
Here is White in 2017:
He's just taking his time... he's going to explode one of these days.

Play like jrue holiday
DeRozan has been the main "PG" or facilitator in the offense. White has been an off ball, secondary playmaker.
White is so well rounded, he can fit with anyone -- including Dejounte.
Im expecting both to start next season with DeRozan at the 3.
That would put Forbes, Mills, and Belli off the bench. Makes more sense to have White take Manus role and finish games.
That way the bench would almost mirror the SL in terms of construction:
Murray/White - defensive ace PG
Forbes/Mills - Undersized shooting guard
DeRozan/Belinelli - SG playing SF
Gay/Bertans - stretch 4
Aldridge/Poeltl - bigman
That's probably the way Pop will go about it. I would prefer a 3 and D SF to insert on the starting lineup and for Walker to become a contributor next season.
LMA - Gay - DeMar - White - Dejounte
Poeltl - Bertans - Lonnie - Forbes
With Belinellis time as a placeholder coming to an end. Im expecting him to be dealt since:
A) They are higher on Lonnie than any player theyve drafted in a long time. He will play.
B) Mills aint going anywhere.
Mills being demoted to the 3rd guard off the bench.
Stagger White & DeMar at all times after the initial 6-7 minutes of each half together.

that's assuming gay is brought back. i think if you're going to start murray and demar, then you need to start bertans. even though gay's outside shot has been a nice surprise this year, he doesn't provide the same spacing bertans does. and i dont think gay's shooting is sustainable.
