    White and Bertans are both really interesting from a statistical angle: both have what would be considered average PERs (15.32 and 13.51) but both excel in advanced stats like OnCourt & On/off: https://www.basketball-reference.com.../SAS/2019.html

    (Aldridge and DeRozan are the opposite: high PERs, and relatively low OnCourt & On/Off numbers.)

    I noticed another player who fits this profile: Nemanja Bjelica of Sacramento. His PER is 15.14-- again, very average for the league, but he leads all Kings players in both the OnCourt & On/Off stats. In Sacramento though, there's a lot of the chatter about how Marvin Bagley should start and get more minutes, which is likely to happen next year. I think when a team like the Spurs don't have a lot of money left to chase free agents, these are exactly the kind of players to target for trades. Bjelica is very similar to Bertans, shooting 40% from three, but with a better 2pt% and slightly more rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks per. In the right situations, they'd be a 6'10" version of the Splash Brothers.
    PER is greatly influenced by USG %, the higher the USG% the better you are expected to do on PER. Since White, Bertans and Bjelica are just role players, their PER numbers aren't going to be all that great.

    He might be one of the next cornerstone Spurs. Pretty impressive development so far. A chance to be a pretty special player.

    True, but there are also anomalies like Marjanovic, Whiteside, Kenneth Faried, etc... guys who are role players whose high PERs exaggerate their real value.

    Pop keeps playing these stupid ing mind games with him like he's Danny Green. Benching him for one mistake, while that scrub mills gets a train ran on him and closes in crunch time.

    And that’s not to say that there aren’t legitimate questions about DJs ceiling or fit. We don’t know if his 3PT shot will be consistent. We don’t know what he will look like physically.

    We know White is busting out and needs a big role.

    But that’s different than stressing out about where minutes for White will go. He’s fine off ball. DJ has been good off ball too. The real concern about minutes and fit are more with regards to that Pau (he’s gone so problem solved), Mills, Beli and Forbes.

    Imo, 1-2 of those 3 need to probably be traded.
    It should be Beli tbh. Mills is never getting traded, they talk about him embodying the culture of the Spurs more than anyone & he's playing pretty well (even better it was strictly against other benches). Beli wouldn't have too many more years left in the league with him becoming close to unplayable defensively.

    Agree. Pretty sure there would be a lot of teams interested in Belli. Hopefully he goes East.

    Would you agree that White, DJ, Mills, Forbes, and DeRozan deserve time over Belli. Question next is doesnt Lonnie deserve some time? Bertans can play some back SF too so not much playing time to go around. I think Pop knows it might be time for the younger guys now.

    you're missing his point. its not that he doesnt want marco traded. its that he knows pop will not trade marco. its the same thing we saw with matt bonner, tony parker, patty mills. pop has his favorites. marco is one of them

    Ok. Then if we agree on all the above than we know Pop has things to consider. George Hill was his favorote too.

    Well yea. A 24 year old George Hill was more valuable to us than a 32 year old Belinelli is now. Especially since we needed all the firepower we could back then. We have a sincere need for more length and athleticism at the 3 and 4 and we have a glut of pgs and sgs. I think it's an obvious play RC and Pop will consider. He will look at all options and choose wisely. Belli has a great market for lots of teams on his 1 year $7M. The only thing I can think of is that Spurs garaunteed him, by mouth, they wouldnt trade him, which is a possibility but there will be some pressure to alleviate our gaurd bottleneck by next year since Forbes and White have emerged.

    White needs to add some muscle and get better at finishing at the rim. He had a bunch of drives where he didn't score or got blocked recently

    We are getting swept in the first round this dude hits the rookie wall, which seems like what he's been doing the last week or so..(his shot has deserted him in this entire month)

    Amazing player that the team literally goes to when he struggles. Horrible game today, but he isn't getting paid 13 million like some other POS backup PG who also went 0 for 10 today.
