This. White came in NBA ready, but if Murray figures it out he has legit star potential.
FWIW, Walker has superstar potential if his health pans out.
You forgot the Lonnie... Potentially our second best guard next year

Its a shame because murray had alot of hype going into this season.atleast d.white will get his chance to shine and with forbes playing better maybe we can finally get rid of fatty mills
If this isn't a knee jerk reaction, then what the is it? He played well in one game against a bad defense.
This is dumb because we weren’t even able to see the results of Murray’s hard work in the offseason. Who knows how good he would be right now if he didn’t get injured.
I've been thinking the same since the end of last season. FWIW, White wasn't anything crazy on this game. He was just solid. A showing that can easily become the least we can expect from him.
part of being good is being healthy
Murray is much better. It isn't close.
That probably sounded better in your head before you posted it.
You meant “Sometimes the best ability is availability” and that doesn’t apply for this subject.
Note: Players can be healthy and completely hurt their team. Doesn’t make them good. For example, Patty has been healthy but we sure have been saying if he wasn’t playing the team would be better.
white: hits game-clinching shot agains the rockets and is actually playing
murray: sitting at home icing his knee making youtube videos with his instagram gf
Both are really good in different aspects of the game. Both make a significant positive impact.
But yea, White is a better shooter, playmaker ..but that doesnt make someone overall better.
Its subjective, but Im just glad both make a significant impact and are not net negative players like Patty and Marco.
Not sold on Lonnie. Had a terrible summer league and the play he got hurt he double dribbled. He is farther away than both, imo. He does have potential though but needs to get and stay healthy.
I go back and forth. I do think White can be better. Murray is overrated by many on this board. The stats say he's an elite defender, but I never really saw that. Not that it's a big deal, but the holes in his game than most of his pluses, though the rebounding would be an obvious improvement over what this squad is running most of the time. It's hard to really figure out who DeJounte is and how impactful he can be in terms of guards around the league. I want the team to keep him, even on a big-money deal. He seems like a great leader, and my projection of his ceiling has raised every year.
The obvious solution here is him and White playing together. Those two and Walker should eat up 90 percent of the guard minutes within the next couple of years. I don't see a reason to make more player-fan controversy here. Play them all together, and if that doesn't work, let the best man/men win. Stop picking favorites without reason.
But is he better than Mills?
This.
He's not a 3&D, he's...just a D.
Why cant you degenerates just enjoy that we have two (three with lonnie) good young players in this roster, jesus spurs fans are spoiled.
Just hoping White can be solid this year.
Murray can impact the game defensively. White is however a better skilled player and a much better shooter. But lets wait for Murray to get healthy before making any real judgements. It's good to have two young players with upside.
the way this team is composed I would take a 2nd team all defensive player over a true point guard right now ... White had one good and one bad game ... lets see how this unfolds over the newxt weeks
Murray needs to come off the bench like his mentor Crawford and become the new Ginobili.
Both suck. Bring Tony back asap
This team hasnt had a true PG for a very long time. As a starter maybe not since AJ? Derrek White the floor general was impressive. Decision making and passing abilty, LaMarcus thinks hes gone to heaven as a big.
DJ you can come back off the bench. Defend and pad those rebounds.
The reality with White, Walker, Murray and Forbes, the guard spots are set for years to come. All future drafts need to focus on the SF and big positions.
Thats because you have a bias towards Murray. White is no where near his class in terms of defense, speed and most importantly toughness. He also had a much improved jump shot in preseason. You are going to look super foolish next year when Murray comes back.
Who cares. Fact is between Murray, White, Walker, even Forbes Spurs have great potential and versatility in young back court players. Problem is getting a better, ideally elite SF and a defensive big.
