Found the Manu replacement
Let's hope his knees hold up...
Found the Manu replacement
Dont put a curse on him man, wtf.
WTF!
Brandon Roy was gonna be an absolute beast. Definitely would hope he reaches that level without the injuries of course!
he's Walt Frazier/Gary Payton player type
That's interesting. Can't say I've watched much of Clyde, but the Payton one probably has some merit. He'd probably foul out in the 1st quarter today though
Should add "poor man's" in front of Brandon Roy. Roy was a east and top 5 player when he was coming into his own.
He was a beast, loved watchin him play. Beat everyone with subtle changes of speed & direction, rather than explosive speed & athleticism.
A good comparison is D'Angelo Russell. They are both the same size and perhaps similar athleticism and length.
White was able to block Russell on a one-on-one play in this game.
Russell was the #2 pick in 2015.
Their stats this season have similar percentages but Russell has more usage.
Roy was drafted with a medical red flag because of those knee issues. He didn't come into the league medically clean.

My view on him last year.
This thread is disrespectful wtf you want him to blow out his knee??????
knock on wood... he’s Jason Kidd with his read of the game, Mark Jackson big guard. I hope he develps postup on small guards then pass to Forbes/Davis
I thought he looked familiar!Derrick White is Brandon Roy
Brandon Roy was bigger, stronger and more athletic than White.
Perhaps White gets stronger, but he won't grow taller or become more athletic than he currently is. The comparison it's there.
Was Roy a good defender? I dont remember him much. Just from watching clips though, offensively Roy is probably the closest comparison out of all the ones I've seen mentioned.
Don't sleep on White as an athlete. I didn't see anything on that Roy video that he can't do.
nah
he was a below average defender tbh.. quite comparable to demar in that regard imo
Nice one mate
Roy was so good, his knee issues were a damn shame.
A shame for him, but not for the Blazers. They drafted him with medical red flags (knee), and deserved what they got.
Well now...why not Jordan then?
I love White, but let's wait before comparing him to one of the best in his generation. Even on one knee, Roy was superb.
Funny how Portland had arguably the two best players with a career ruined by structurally poor knees -Roy and Sabonis
Dennis Johnson without the temper
