Derrick White

[spurraider21]

Smh Nephew/White/LMA big 3 though

indeed. with nephew being a good outside shooter too, we could have fielded a pretty monster lineup without worrying as much about spacing like we have to with DePression...

Murray
White
Nephew
Gay/Bertans
LMA

I like Murray alot, but him an White does not need to be on the floor at the same time... They dont need to be on the same team if Murray cant shoot better next season. White NEEDS to handle the ball. His BBIQ is off the charts. I hate for Murray to lose his spot because of injury, but White has been a major upgrade.

i've always been hopeful for DJ's future but i have never seen the same composure and efficiency i have seen from Derrick. dude is just a high caliber player with a high bball iq than most. def my fav spur atm.

[spurraider21]

white is 2 years older than murray tbh. he's much more polished, clearly. but i dont see why we're pitting them against each other. they can coexist in the same backcourt

I wonder what trade the Spurs would have taken for Kawhi had they known White would become this good..

The one Philly made with the Wolves - Roco & Saric. No one honestly thought White would get this good this fast, even less so the first month he played this season.

[Down Under]

If Murray can shoot the 3 & do nothing else offensively, I'd be stoked at this point. Don't need another ball handler/creator at the moment.

yeah idk. i want to see murray in more of a traditional SG role than a facilitator of the ball. somewhat like a danny green but with explosion to the rim. that'd give the staring pg role to white and starting sg to murray while cutting the fat of demar from the team or bringing murray off the bench behind demar.

D'Angelo Russell named an all-star: https://www.netsdaily.com/2019/2/1/1...-all-star-team

Wait! Didn't Derrick White out play Russell in the last game?

Someone pointed out in another tread that as much crap as the Knicks are taking for trading PorzinGod to clear capspace, no one is talking about the Lakers trading an All Star to do the exact same thing.

Oh he is going to have to be the 2, or else come off the bench as the Manu.

Derrick is the point guard. I think everyone is fully convinced of that now.

i def want derrick to be the future going forward. dude makes it look like a chess game out there and he's got all the moves to checkmate ya!

This is a Derrick White thread. Why do people keep bringing up Murray when he's not even playing!

Cause the Tony Vs Manu Fan boys have to create something so get used to hundreds of new threads “My BFF is better then your BFF”. Smh.

There was a moment last night when Derrick stepped forward to drive and two Nets met him. Derrick stops short, freezes the two Nets, and throws LA wide open and for a second LA froze cause he didn't understand how he was open with the ball in his hands.

White is a monster of a smart player. He is going to so great for us. We just gotta hope that he stays humble and we (the Spurs) stay appreciative, cause dude looks like he is going to grow into a star.

playerfans trying to keep the pos relevant....

[emanueldavidginobili]

If he was 22 years old I would be excited about this kid.

So you’re telling me he’s not good for a 24 year old? Gtfo Manu was a rookie at 25.

[wildbill2u]

Remember early in the season he was really deferring to veterans. He'd drive right to the basket and then instead of taking his due, he'd pass off to a big man. Sometimes the big couldn't believe he didn't take the shot and wasn't ready so he'd blow the layup/ ]

Now Derrick is taking those layup himself when open. His confidence is high and he is proving to be highly capable as a scorer. The evolution of a good prospect into a good solid player is taking place before us. This team is fun to watch as it develops.

[BackHome]

Yeah and the beginning of season lots of posters were saying he was a bust trade his bum ass. Lol. It’s amazing how a few months of getting consistent minutes can turn those people to know saying he is first or second best Spurs player on the team. And yes same people saying Murray sucks when he hasn’t even played this year. Lol

Spurs find another gem at the end of the draft

So confident in the FO taking advantage of our 2 first round picks. This is something we are not talking about enough. PATFO must be salivating at having 2 shots this year. Getting that pick from Tor is so underrated.

Bullsh, tbh. A lot of us did. I mean, just look at this thread.

Really? I thought he could be pretty good, but he's playing at a ridiculous level on both ends & it's happened in half a season.

it should be a very bad draft though

[Ocotillo]

Really happy to see White beginning to emerge as a solid player. I don't keep up with who says what here usually but I do remember an excessive amount of "Fathead 2" and other crap like that being thrown around about him.

Also, in regards to him coexisting with Murray, PATFO figured out a way to have Tony and Manu coexist although there were idiots going on about which was better, yada yada.
