He passed Marcus Smart after last night's performance.

it's normal, he will be 1st team all-defense for sure
amazing! i love knowing we have the best Defensive PG in the league. And have another All NBA Defensive PG on the shelf for next year

Murray last year at 3.6. Surprising is DDR being 36th for SG at -0.06
Last year, you were actually allowed to play defense, fight through picks, bump cutters, etc.
He and Jakob have both been huge in our defensive improvement. Excited to see Murray, White, Jakob lineups next year.
don't get your hopes up. All this positive talk about White should be tempered. It takes away from DJ
DeRozan has been much better on D lately and giving a lot of effort. It’s really good to see. On offense, I just wish he was still AT LEAST able to hit the 3 at the same 31% clip he did last year. The team would be much better with a bit more space to operate in.
It's pretty awesome that advanced metrics agree with the eye test on the amazing effect White has on the Spurs defense.
If only we had someone at SG instead of Forbes to shoot the 3 better than Bryn while contributing with elite defense.
But those players are so hard to come by.
(Now don't go check the DRPM of the Shooting Guards cause you'll get depressed)
Just so long as he doesn't get picked for the All Defensive Team. They don't give that award to actual good defenders.
Three Spurs or former Spurs in the top five.
The fact that the Spurs have two shots in the first round of the draft this summer gives me a lot of hope that the roster will round out in a very positive way. Looking at the current standings, it seems almost miraculous that this team has a mere 7 fewer wins than a Golden State Warrior team that won 73 games and then added Kevin Durant. The parity in the league is nice now, in my opinion. Look at Toronto: by almost all accounts, they "won" the Kawhi Leonard trade, but they're on pace to finish with fewer wins than last year. I viewed this season as a transition year for the Spurs, and have to say they've handled it beautifully.
He won’t even make 2nd team unfortunately
Careful. Any reasonable optimistic perspective can get you thrashed in here!
very good take
That's cool to hear. The guy, using the eye test is a good defender and hopefully he will be awarded with a all defensive team nod
omg Dejounte last year was a beast
Well, he was, but you were also allowed to actually defend last year.
We don't know what D.Murray we're gonna get going forward with the injury he had so we need to pump the brakes on him coming back and looking like the second coming of prime Rondo defensively.
Despite some very demoralizing defeats this season, Pop and the team deserve kudos. When you have a team like the Dubs, I don't totally agree with your parity comment. And as far as the draft is concerned, I don't see the Spurs actually using both first-round picks. I think Pop already has more youth than he would like. I look for a rare Spurs' trade.
I remember earlier in the year people used to say Instagram Baller was an elite defender and White was just "good". Its been obvious for months that he's easily the superior defender out of the two.
On the ball. DJ is still a holy terror in the passing lanes, and on the glass, far better in those areas. Isn't it nice to have both of them on our team?
That's nice, but wake me up when averages 20 points and 10 assists per game.
