Maybe Chip will be able to improve his shot.
No he can't.
I think this is a "throw James a bone so he will work harder" move by Pop.
Maybe Chip will be able to improve his shot.
White probably has a below average 3 pt shot, but then again he doesn't need that shot yet!!We need him to play above average defense, drive to the basket (very good ft shooter), and get possibly 4-5 rebounds in about 10-15 minutes of play.
It's not really his form, which is actually pretty good. He just needs more repe ion. He's not a horrible shooter, he just has trouble shooting off the dribble, and he relied so much in HS on his athleticism that he really didn't have to shoot much. He'll come around, but it'll take time and lots of reps...
Games against Phoenix and Washington are the best situations for White. I'm a fan of trying anything when the team is sucking. He's not going to help just by being on the floor, but if the Spurs use him correctly he could be effective in some situations.
Chump, what have you seen from white that he could help with for the spurs??Also, is he a pretty good defender and how is offense?
at the rebound projection. We'll be lucky if he gets one board in that time.
Wow. We really are desperate. Remember when we said that before that we should all really be worried if White saw floor time this year?
White, play Butler. At least his out of shape ass did something with the Knicks last year.
These last few weeks I've seen Tony throw more alley oops in that Nike commercial than I've seen him do since he came in the league.
Maybe this might remedy that.
Ok, so maybe I overestimated on the rebounds!!But 2-3 boards is still better than what bowen is averaging for his minutes.
He's actually a decent defender, that's why I think he's still on the team. He's simply not a dominant scorer like his dunking suggests. His best use in the Spurs offense would be as a cutter, occasional spot shooter and of course in transition.
He'll board about the same as Bruce in the NBA.
Ah I see. Did he dunk everything?
Regardless of White's O capabilities, he's got a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball and if he's picking up the D(either in Austin or showing it in practice), it wouldn't surprise me at all if Pop is trying to find some pt for him.
And yes I think the situation is that desperate.
I can see Pop bumping either Finley or Barry out of the rotation if White's D is better than theirs...which isn't out of the realm of possibility.
I've never heard anyone bag on White's D or his work ethic....only that he's not as good of an offensive player as he has the talent to be.
Maybe Pop figures we need an element of surprise.
I wonder if Mel Sanders ever learned how to finish around the basket.I can see Pop bumping either Finley or Barry out of the rotation if White's D is better than theirs...which isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Oh my god. If we're thinking about playing Melvin Sanders then I really am going to puke....
That's how bad the D has gotten.
Could White be a potential 4? Faberto's offensive and shotblocking contribution is already 0%... as I see it all we need is someone who can grab a few more boards.
White doesn't rebound. He doesn't even weigh 200 pounds.
uhhhh, NO!!
The two years wasted on Sanders is a big reason why this team has no depth on the perimeter. It was obvious he wasn't NBA material, yet the Spurs wasted time and resources on him.
Mel Sanders got PT....and Finley sucks a lot worse than last year, and Barry realizes he can slack on D now and get away with it....
Although the biggest reason this team has no depth on the perimeter is they failed to sign Devin Brown earier this year. Devin would be starting on this team and would be the team's fourth best player.
White's like 6'7 and 210 lbs...sounds familiar?
210 is generous.
