Dang. I may sign up again so I can watch him play more.
Or he's already had tons of national experience and wants to focus on the season. White would love this experience and would argue benefit more from it.

Yeah I think I have to sign up for UTSA football anyway, so taking the free week a week early.
six points, one rebound in 7 mins playing time first Q. 3/6 shooting.
White playing good off the ball making some good cuts and more importantly, playing good d
Definitely has green light to shoot, but is mainly benefiting from great point guard play on offense. Solid D. Best +/- at 17.
How's the quality of the stream? The subscription doesn't sound like too much, but if it's ty, I'd rather save my trial for a more important event.
Here is the link for the box score:

Frank Mason is looking great, at least by the numbers. It looks like they'll have a replay up on Youtube pretty soon after the game goes final.
It's ESPN3 for extra money. Stream is fine on Roku. PJ doing the color commentary.
Sounds like it could be worse. Thanks.
White just had a great stretch leading to a time-out. Five points, three assists, a rebound and a steal to start the third.
Basically playing a two-man game with Mason, +/- up to 38. Uruguay threw this game tho. Left their best players at home.
They have a 7 day free trial btw.
Reddit has a stream right now that is decent quality. I’m not sure if White is going to come back into the game though.
Second best player this game after Mason. He's on the team because Pop and JVG don't want to lose any games. Pop and Ime were in the stands, probably others. Didn't pay enough attention.
Instruction from JVG is a good thing for anyone.
I'm a Spurs homer big time and I see White being a quality NBA player for a long time given health. He is a much better athlete than I though seeing his work in the summer league.
Year 2 should be good for him. The Spurs have no choice but to put some kids out there this year. Most of the experience from last year outside of LMA and Patty walked out the door.
That's great. Looks like the coaches are taking a hard look at him genuinely looking to implement him the best way possible this season. He will be 25 so I think he will be ready. Love that he got 6 assists in the game as the main facilitator.
Mason was the main facilitator. White had half his assists in a short sequence involving multiple fast breaks to begin the second half. That's what I was able to glean from highlights and the play-by-play. I didn't see much evidence of him doing much PG work, but what I did like was that his dimes seemed to be of the "good to great" category. That was the motto for the unselfish Spurs before people started calling it the "Beautiful Game." I'd like to see more PnR work for White and for him to be the lead guard in his minutes with the Spurs. But being able to make things happen off the ball is certainly a nice skill to have, and it would allow him to play with the other perimeter players better than other guys who need the ball in their hands to be effective.
Also, the announcers called White the best player for either team. I suspect that had to do with White's defense. He had two steals, and probably played aggressively on that end considering his fouls and that one highlight of him not conceding a bucket against a big on the break (went for an and-1 anyway, but the effort was there). All of that bodes well.
Thanks for the insight. Wish I caught the game. As much as Derrick handles the ball in the D League I believe Derrick can make the biggest impacts off the ball. It's become a trend to have one guy dominate the ball so much on a possession and with DJ and DeRozan as our main facilitators, Derrick will be a HUGE part for us if he can make good cuts, come off screens, hustle off the ball and spread the floor for us. Derrick is definitely Italy serviceable with the ball in his hands but I dont see him having the body or athleticism to stay healthy attacking as a pg type player on the pick n roll.
Game 2 vs. Panama tonight 8PM ESPN+.
uruguay game
White plays in all 4 quarters
