Whose the last Spur in their first real season all around game on both sides of the ball looked this good?
Several people in the organization thought he was the best guard on the team....
Last season..
He checked all boxes watching him all last year..even if it was in Austin.

Dejuan Blair.
his consistency is finally showing off, defensively incredible, and his harden-like cleverness puts him at an advantage against most opponents, he completely destabilized the defensive system of boston (that could no longer control Aldridge)

Amazing how he keeps on reading the defense, the guy is a genius on the court and is only going to get much better. Smartest player in the Spurs roster.
I've said it so many times. This dude is our next Manu.
Glad to see White's confidence growing. He had this game against Kyrie too so hopefully it only increases it more.
He's better than I thought defensively and I love his pace out on the court. Never really gets rattled and has a very high basketball IQ. I was worried before the season about having enough play-makers but now with DD and White, we have to above average guys that can create for their teammates. I think we have only scratched the surface on how good this team can be.
I saw enough last year against GSW in the reg season where he was making great defensive plays to rattle steph/klay. I knew it wasn’t a fluke. Then and there I knew he had “it” I’ve been watching the NBA long enough to know when a player is special.
Even ahead of Murray??
Crazy this kid played 3 years of D2, what a story hopefully he keeps it up.
Don’t laugh now, but I see White as Jason Kidd. Big guard, excellent court vision and the whole game, defensive catalyst, doesn’t get rattled. Yes I say, Jason Kidd, without the fancy passes now but will get there once he starts attacking the ring more, dishing. Now start laughing but when the time comes, I will get back to this post and I say, I told you so. This Spurs version of Kidd is going to be a star.
White looks very promising. It’s going to be interesting to see how he and Murray mesh next year, but if they can figure it out it’ll be a very dynamic backcourt with DDR slotting down to the 3.
I won't project how good White will be, but his game is a bit different than Kidd's. He doesn't quite have the court vision, although his is very good, and he projects to be a better scorer.
11 steals and 7 blocks in the last 5 games for White.
I love White but Jason Kidd is a hall of famer. He's also already 24. I'd be thrilled if he became an above average starter in the league and it looks like he's definitely trending that way, pretty damn good for another late round pick.
He's got deceptive quickness (or is it reaction time?). He's getting an unusual number of blocks and steals considering that he's not really that long.
Kahwi may have a lot of length, but White has unusual quickness.
Derek White is your controlled point guard. He makes really good decisions even though he may not be as athletic as Murray. I believe he is a more traditional running the offense point guard in comparison to Murray. Murray is athletic and more explosive, but he tends to make more errors in a game.
In comparison to White.
hope he can work well with murray
If his shot continues to improve he and Murray should be an excellent pairing.
same here, I think he had like 16 points in that game, played within himself, hit open 3s. Super solid performance. Should've gotten NBA minutes last year that would have made him even better than playing in the G-League
Exactly, he looked good last year when he played. His game against Houston was good also. He passed the eye test, his stats were great in the small sample. I don't see how anyone who actually watched the games and paid attention could claim he didn't look good with the big squad last year.
By the end of the g-league season he was so bored or dominant that he was doing things that aren't really applicable to the big squad. He could call his own number whenever, so his 3 attempts skyrocketed. He even had a game of 15 3-pt attempts. Only one Spur in history, Jaren Jackson once in 99-00, has ever taken 15 or more 3-pt attempts. I don't think games like that were necessarily better for him than playing on the big squad and adjusting to what it's like when so many other players demand and handle the ball or keep the rebound and handle, etc.
Based on all this positive buzz, it seems like now would be an ideal time to include White as a sweetener in a trade for a solid, experienced 3rd star to complement LMA and DDR.
White's value is at an all-time high.
