    lonnie didnt look that good in summer league and i dont recall if he ever played in the preseason. not sure why people think he's going to be handed minutes. white has a much clearer path to minutes

    Dudes a scrub ass chucker that cant shoot. He's super athletic but doesn't use it to penetrate and kill in the paint.He might carve out a 10 year career just based off of athleticism alone. But don't expect him to turn out to be some gem of a player. People over rate him because he was a top 20 pick.

    White has All-Star potential in a way that anyone who doesn't show that much ceiling but theoretically still has time for unreal gains does. Meaning that I don't think it's reasonable to argue he has that kind of ceiling, but it's technically not impossible, so whatever. You don't start guys to "find out what ceiling they have". You give them playing time, sure. But the Spurs are in the business of winning games right now. They aren't looking for boom-or-bust moves. White coming in and showing he's a steady player is a requirement to showing he's a steady starter. Forbes has been a steady player this year. Consistency is underrated. When the alternative is White still getting playing time, any perceived difference in upside isn't enough to warrant a change in the starting back court.
    Fam.... U don't know what all star potential is? Forbes can't do anything except shoot... And is horrible at everything else... White is decent at everything with room to grow... We can't win anything with Forbes as our starter... We NEVER will... So what's the point of starting him and stunting the growth of a more promising player in white? That's why pop started Parker... Even though we wouldn't have won that year, it accelerated parkers growth to allow us to win sooner than we would have if he was stashed away on the bench for below average starters... Forbes is a below average starter... He wouldn't even start for the suns, who is the worst team in the league... And we wanna win rings with him? GTFOH

    Parker was better than what the Spurs had. White might be better than Forbes, but he might not. Be. I know what "All-Star potential" is. I don't think White has it, but I am not dismissing the possibility that he becomes unrealistically better than he can be expected to be.
