I haven't watched the game but I guess it's quite logical that he does some mistakes because it's only his second game in DLeague : he needs to adjust his game to refs, to the coach and to his teammates and he needs to find his rythm.
5 Turnovers???

what's his defense looked like?
Was he handling the ball much and bringing it up the court? Coaches have had a history of having him do that and treating him like a point forward (he did that in the summer league with Indiana). BUt the fact is, while he can usually handle the ball well enough, he is no point guard and needs to play on the wing. If they are making him set up the offense and operate it that could account for his turnovers.
Perhaps, after all the hype, he's not the basketball Messiah?
Do you guys think Bruno lives in South Dakota?
Jay Williams is still out with a groin injury, so BJ Elder and White probably had to do more ball handling. Williams is supposed to be back tonight.
Looks like he can actually be a decent player in the NBA.
smh @ the fools focusing only on the 5 turnovers.....his stats seem pretty good especially since it's only his second game there
Geez, give him some time.
He's a skinny rookie who was not as good as Rawle Marshall when the season began. What exactly are folks expecting here?
thanks for the updates
i just looked at todays boxscores and he had 17 points on 6-12 shooting, no 3 point attempts, 5-5 from the free throw line, 3 rebounds, 1 block, 0 ast, 0 turnovers, 0 steals 3 fouls in 28 mins
He had a good night tonight. I'll tell you now the thing that is going to keep him on the Spurs team is his defense and team play, not his one-on-one offense--so get that out of your minds. White is close to unstoppable in transition, but a guy like Andre Emmett was even moreso last season and he's coming off the bench in Lithuania this year.
White never stops running and he got his chance for a nice transition dunk last night, so that's also good to see--just don't expect it every time he touches the ball. I will say I haven't seen any reason for the the Spurs to waive him at this point. He needs to work on his halfcourt decision making because he isn't fully aware of his offensive potential, but he has nice upside and could start showing that for the Spurs.
Next year.
He should stay in Ausitn the rest of the season; maybe recall him in late February/early March to remind him he's still a Spur. Playing and conditioning is going to help James more than anything right now.
Good to hear
Yeah, if White works out, he's going to be a defender who gets his points running the break with Tony and Manu. Add in a corner three-point shot and I'm happy.
What type of defender is he on that level? Is he a Bruce Bowen move-your-feet-well type of a defender or a Ron Artest up-in-your-junk type defender? In college, he got away with being physical but I'm guessing that most of the players (even in the NBDL) are stronger so he's going to have to defend like Bowen.
Good to see he's already rebounding like Bowen
My only gripe about James White is that he apparently skipped class last year right before the Conference Finals and, therefore, got suspended for the game. He had had a stellar record up to that time. We ended up losing that game.
So my Cincinnati buddies have told me its nice that the Spurs have signed JW and all, but hopefully he won't skip practice right before a critical playoff series starts. My retort, of course, is that if he's gonna play in the NBA and make it with all that God-given talent, then the ultra professional Spurs organization is where he needs to be.
How long will it be until he gets a decent amount of minutes in a game? Because we already have Bruce and I want the Spurs to draft the long 3 Warren Carter out of Illinois.
Bruce-like.What type of defender is he on that level? Is he a Bruce Bowen move-your-feet-well type of a defender or a Ron Artest up-in-your-junk type defender?Define decent. He probably won't play at all for the Spurs until next season.How long will it be until he gets a decent amount of minutes in a game?
At least 8 minutes a game.
Next season.
*sighs, smh*, why are ppl always looking for stupid to complain about??? he's a small foward/shooting guard....he isn't a power foward or center, his job isn't to rack up rebounds......which is why bowen doesn't get a lot of rebounds it isn't his job, it's tim's and whoever the is playing center to get themGood to see he's already rebounding like Bowen
Anybody stepped on his foot yet?
