Zach Lowe gives props to Derrick White's high IQ game

[ajh18]

Pop may roll out Aldridge, DDR, and White as the permanent starters with either Murray/Bertans or Poetl/Forbes as the other two depending on who we are playing.

[R. DeMurre]

White's name is slowly starting to get out there now for writers & broadcasters not dedicated to the Spurs... If he does a great job on Curry, Harden, or Jamal Murray in the first round of the playoffs, he could be a semi-household name-- at least with real NBA fans.

1. White and DD
2. Murray and LW

just start next year with those four running the backcourt and see what happens

This is the Manu-esque stuff I'm talking about..You can't just teach that, tbh..

[SAGirl]

Well deserved recognition. He’s going to get paid eventually and he deserves it. I hope he’s a keepers

That opening lineup has a huge chance to be doodoo. No spacing, clogged lanes, four guys who work best with the ball in their hands. Pop may well want to play that unit, but I think he'd abandon it really quickly, because they wouldn't win games like that.

I've said this for a while but the White, Murray, DDR trio could be an issue and that was with Gay playing the 4 in my scenario.

Murray may still not be able to shoot 3s, DeRozan can't and White is too low volume of a 3pt shooter for him to be the best shooter in a starting lineup.

Starting Murray, Forbes, DDR, LMA, Poeltl seems more likely with Mills, White, Beli, Bertans and Gay as the bench though that lineup is weird with Gay at the five. Beli may be the odd man out with Poeltl starting and also still anchoring the bench with Mills, White, Bertans and Gay

I wonder what pop was thinking after watching that play..

Zach Howe was Fathead's biggest fluffer and main reason why he got his egregious contract. He's now pretending that whole mess never happened.

Might be a red flag for Derrick, he should be cautious.

If they stay with starting Jakob, then getting another big man for the rotation would be imperative, IMO. Time to bring Milutinov over.

That being said, I wouldn't be against a White, Murray DeRozan, Bertans, Aldridge starting lineup. Off of the bench, you'd have two of Mills, Forbes and Walker (my guess would be Mills and Walker, though, if Forbes gets a better understanding of the offense, he could take Mills's spot), Belinelli, Gay and Poeltl. Assuming Gay re-signs, of course.

Yup, throwing the ball to where the man needs to be.

Dude got double penetrated by Harden and Kemba. Also can't hit the ocean.

Thanks a lot Zach Hoe, you nerd.
