Red Planet of Derrick White

[Kobe'sAchilles]

He's played well at the toughest position in the NBA, with limited experience. Saying so isn't crowning his ass. I still think Pop gives Murray his starting spot back, also allows for White to have a chance to be the primary playmaker for long stretches off the bench. Think they'll both end up playing around 28 mpg next season so it may be moot to worry about who's starting and who's coming off the bench.

The dude is a known White hater. Probably upset that Spurs fans are cheering for a guard not named Ginobili tbh. Dude is quiet everytime White has a good game and then shows up when he has a poor one and spouts his bs. "It's too early to crown him" "We shouldn't be excited about our second year player who is performing better than anybody expected him" "it's too soon to crown him"

we have a horrible record without him and a great record with him playing. He is our best defender and also our best distributor. He should be on the All-NBA defense team this year. And he's only going to get better. But yeah we should "temper our excitement"

1-5 shooting against the ing Knicks, mother er. ��


But yeah, "Let me suck his , please," STFU with that . White is good, he's indispensable to this team right now but blindly sucking his at all costs and throwing Murray under the bus in the process is ing stupid. Let's be glad we have both of them but neither of them has a secured spot in the starting lineup next season.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

A Manu fan whining about who starts. Smh. Btw White may not start next year like you say but he sure as is going to be finishing games. "I'm really his fan guys even though I never say anything positive about him w/o ting all over him first."

Unlike you, I really am excited to have both players on our team. They compliment each other quite well and they both will be a terror defensively. White actually knows how to shoot the ball and move without which really helps. DJ is nowhere near White's level on offense but I'm not worried about that. His defense and ability to get to the rim will greatly help our team. But if he doesn't learn how to shoot or finish at the rim (instead of taking those stupid floaters) then Derrick will be the starter and finisher.

Luckily for us, DJ is a gym rat who is itching to improve his jumper and prove himself as a great player in the league. I have high hopes for him as well.

But it’s fine to hype up Murray last season, because he grabbed rebounds and therefore earned his starting spot, even though he himself still has a lot to prove. Not a Murray hater, but it’s like if I did the same thing to Murray last year after he had a bad game while leaving White of any criticism. Double standard much.

Seeing that the SL has DDR to share playmaking duties I also think that it is more beneficial for the team if White runs the second team and then for both to close the game.

His forehead made him smart? or his smart made his forehead big?

[spursistan]

That's 31-13 with yesterday's win..Dude's emergence saved the Spurs' season..

[John B]

I don’t want to rain on White’s parade, but Poeltl’s rim protection, rebounding and defense also helped

[DJR210]

You guys think White gets some All-NBA Defensive Team consideration this year? I know the rebounding numbers made it easy to spotlight Murray, but damn this dude is moving his feet and hands well..

no doubt, he will be a 1st team all defense

Who votes on this? Coaches?

Who votes on this? Coaches?

The NBA All-Defensive Team is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) honor given since the 1968–69 NBA season to the best defensive players during the regular season. The All-Defensive Team is generally composed of ten players in two five-man lineups, a first and a second team. Voting is conducted by a panel of 123 writers and broadcasters.[1] Prior to the 2013–14 NBA season, voting was performed by the NBA head coaches, who were restricted from voting for players on their own team.

if he gets all defense 1st? then lol murray supporters

[8FOR!3]

I doubt he will get 1st team, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets all 2nd team. Idk, I just don't think he will get the credit he deserves it's his first year of being an established name.

[r0drig0lac]

except PG13 and Giannis, no player is really standing out in this season (especially among the guards), ironically Duncan did not receive the dpoy prize but other players on the team receive a spur status, so I do not really see White out of the all-D team (his defensive skill is probably the best among the active guards currently in the league, the eye test says this, and people are watching).

With them on this streak the national media is gonna start covering how you "can't count out Pop and the Spurs" per usual.. Some strong defensive performances from White now will definitely help his case

[look_at_g_shred]

Writers should have taken notice of White's defense the night he was shutting nephew down.

[Trill Clinton]

Can someone explain the Murray vs white thing here?

[exstatic]

Good luck with that. No one has satisfactorily explained Manu vs. Parker yet.

Jesus I've never seen a fan base pit their own players against each other. I think the Parker vs Manu era was just silly fun for the most part but continuing it with Murray and white is just dumb.

I can't imagine watching a Spurs game and rooting against my own players smh.

[BD24]

no doubt, he will be a 1st team all defense

Although he probably deserves first team I see 2nd team being more likely. He doesn’t have eye popping steal numbers that the media looks for imo

Can’t wait for Lonnie to get in the picture

Shaq and Kobe wasn't just between the two of them...

Where's SpurPadre at? I need him to tell me how ty White was in guarding Klay last night bc my expectations are sky high for the kid.
