I don't care if he lacks a jumper, if only because SA's midrange games often times looks pitiful anyway.
If he can hit his ft's then I'm all for him drivin to the hoop aggressively and getting fouled.
Um, all you have to do is back off. That first jumper he shot last night was a ing SCUD. I'm not sure he's hit any jumper in his two games.
OTOH, his 2.5 rebs in 13.5 minutes are almost as many as Bowen's 2.7 in 30.5 minutes.

You do understand that it's MUCH easier to stay in front of someone if you can play off them? Don't go an yourself because he put up a few points on the end of two team's benches. He won't get those FTs against rotation players. He'll just get drawn into double teams and big man country. If you can't shoot, you can't stay in the league, period. Everyone who plays rec or playground ball in any city can ing drive. They don't get into the NBA, either.
relax little slugger...hes a freaking rookie...all most of us are saying is the guy has a lot of upside*
*pending he gets a jumpshot...
Oh, I understand he has upside. Some here, however, seem to think he's going to set the world on fire...as is. Without the jumper, there will be few FTs and finishes at the rim, and he has no chance to stay in the league. He doesn't have one, so his future is in doubt. He could make it. He could bust out. One thing is for sure: a bunch of ing YouTube college clips aren't going to keep him in the NBA.
someone ran over exstatic's dog....
yeah seriously
No, just my patience. James White is not the Second Coming. He might just be the Second Terence Stansbury, though.
Yeah a guy with a bad jump shot has never improved under Chip England either.
someone ran over your patience. It all makes sense.No, just my patience
I don't think anyones annoiting him the second coming. Just hes an extremely talented player, who has time to improve now that hes in a good organization, and is more than worth keeping around.
He may turn out to be a dern good player.
But to rain on people's parades because you think a guy is overrated when hes a darn rookie, well i dunno if thats kosher.
T Park
Overhyped, TPark. Overhyped.
overhyped?
They expect him to be a bench player next year.
Uh, don't see how thats overhyping. If the kid progresses like he has, works out with the team and England, plays well in summer league, he will come off the bench regularly next year.
Sorry but your off base on this issue.
Overhyped by Spurs fans. I get 10-20 emails a week asking why he isn't starting right now and if he's going to be starting next year.
i think pop has to give white more playing time, like the damn approach he had for the rookie parker who had alot of problems with his game, which enable him to improve overtime with PT.
white is a wip....
Does White's physical build remind anyone of Gervin?
At least he wasn't too afraid to take it to the basket, that is encouraging, and he seems to be a better than average FT shooter too.
As for his jump shot.....didn't Tony's jumper look horrible to start his career as well? Like someone said earlier, with Chip England as our shooting coach I would not be surprised to see White's jumper get better over time.
His "D" is average.....but at least he tries...and shows hustle...which is a good start to being a good defender.
I understand he has a great work ethic which is another plus for him too.
I don't think he is the second coming by any means....yet...but he shows flashes of potential.
Thank you. Kori "gets it".
Spurs fans' obsession with White, a marginal NBA mediocrity at 25 years old, is pathetic, indicates how really desperate they are for young new blood.
