Spurs Recall James White From Austin Toros

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Atkins is not a ball-distributor. We need someone like Marquis Daniels who could create plays and play defense

So you want a ball distributor, but you want a guy who is essentially a two guard in Daniels?

Marquis has never been accused of being charitable at the offensive end

[polandprzem]

What does that mean?

That means my dear friend that it is not worth the disscussion

I Really Think The Spurs Should Play Him This Time. With The League Getting Younger And Faster I Think It Would Help Out This Team. I'm Not Saying Playing Him Against The Suns Or Anything Like That. But Man, This Guy Has Incredible Athletic Ability And He Really Doesn't Need To Put The Game On His Shoulders, All He Has To Do Is Help Us Out. He Just Might Be What We're Missing...maybe. Well That And A Back Up Point Guard. I Don't Care What Anyone Says, Beno Sucks. He Has Had His Chance Over And Over Again And Hasn't Produced Anything!

Looks like you missed a capitilization.

Spurs needed a rookie to carry the bags off the plane and go get the pizza. It's tough out there on the road for an all-veteran team.

Does anybody read the update threads?

Yes and they are very informative!

[Marcus Bryant]

Desperation.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Desperation.

more like gettin him some games so he can be in the dunk contest hahhahahaha

spurs right now = lame

[ChumpDumper]

If he plays much at all, it will be desperation. We're talking about practice here.

[bigdog]

i doubt he will play or even suit up on the road trip. most likely just gonna be inactive in case an injury happens or something. or maybe pop is planning something.who knows

[yavozerb]

Possible Small line-up for playoff time:
Tony-Manu-Bowen-White-Duncan
-all above average defenders with manu, white, and TD having to pull down Boards
-scoring should not be problem with TMD in lineup..
I doubt this will happen with white probably not playing much, but it sounds good!!

[ChumpDumper]

Have you seen White play this season?

From the Express-News ...

White returns to big league: Rookie guard James White spent Sunday's game on the inactive list one day after the Spurs recalled him from the Developmental League.

This was the second time the Spurs have recalled White, who can be sent to Austin only once more this season. Barring injuries to other players, Popovich doesn't expect to play White anytime soon.

"I haven't even been able to get Eric Williams on the court, so James isn't going to go out there," Popovich said. "He's just here because we've got the five days off (Friday-Feb. 6) and we've some practice time, so it's a good opportunity for him to get into the system and see what we're doing, and we can get a closer look at him.

"Maybe toward the end of the year, if there are opportunities, we'll throw him out there and see what we have."

Well finishing out the year with the Toros isn't going to matter too much since they won't make the playoffs. I do think the season ends too close to the end of the NBA season, though -- it could affect other teams and players in a pretty big way. It might be better if they could move everything back one week in the D-League.
