When it comes to White he is a guard meaning he can play PG or SG his handles are second best only DRZ has better handles and he sees the court and passes like a PG. He can easily play with Murray I think their games compliment each other.
Just shooting short on his jumpers. Shot selection was actually better than last game. Was actually called in when Panama made a run to pull within ~11, so don't think he wasn't important to the win. Played the 2 exclusively. Assists coming off drive and kicks were nice.

Dude looking pretty damn well against NBA compe ion, tbh.
Pop needs to snap out of his Forbes' crush and give all his minutes to White. This kid could be special. If given enough playing time, he could easily become the team's 3rd or 4th best player.
White has some advanced moves, a good shot, and better court vision than any other guard on the roster.
White is arguably the most rounded player we have on the entire roster.
Start White? Where does that leave Murray though? Demar is starting at the 3, right?
Murray at PG, White at SG and DeRozan at SF.
Let this kid start. He might turn the Murray injury into a blessing in disguise.
It’s not even considered a blessing in disguise to me. He was gonna play anyways. I would rather have more bodies. More players that can affect the game on the team. Having one less doesn’t help. Yeah I’m trying to be optimistic but having both of them would have been way better.
The basketball gods just gave Derrick White a whole bunch of minutes...
Spurs should stay pat on bringing anyone in. I love Murray but he still didn’t look good running the team. I agree about the blessing in disguise in that White can get free reign and show what he’s got. Hopefully Pop lets him and White takes every advantage. Everybody’s seen that in limited minutes that guy was, in my opinion, already pushing Murray. I hope Murray pulls a varsity blues on the NBA. Go Mox!
White is a more polished shooter and offensive player. The D and rebounding were DJs strengths. Hopefully he (White) can produce and soon. Options are now way more limited at least for this year.
Derrick White is starting tonight
It's a good sign White is starting tonight. No way Spurs do a full rebuild. Its sink or swim for White. I hope this somehow brings more minutes for Metu as well.
I do believe he’s gonna be a of a player. Guess time will tell.
White is out tomorrow with a heel injury...
Son of a . I wouldn't want anything to do with being a young Spurs guard right now. And White isn't even that young.
White had been kinda injury prone too... but he hasn't had injuries as serious as the other two.
Where is tbdog to tell me they don't need bodies bc they are all set?
(Tbdog is one of my faves, but I disagree with him, bc they do need bodies)...
Frankly I am fine with tanking at this point
We're due for a #1 pick.White had been kinda injury prone too... but he hasn't had injuries as serious as the other two.

Or a lottery pick.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has already penciled two names into his starting lineup this season. LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan, All-Stars both of them, will be in it. Popovich is ready to add a third name as well. Derrick White will be the Spurs’ opening-night point guard after Dejounte Murray’s devastating knee injury. “We’re going with him,” Popovich said. “He’s our guy.”

Hopefully the injury is not serious.
I imagine Pop knew about the injury when he said this. Should be fine. He's going to have to be prepared to play more than half the game, every game, though.
Spurs really should look to add some depth ... (not some vet to take his place mind you). But Derrick is prone to nags (and didn't finish summer league after a good start bc of it).
This really worries me. Out of Lonnie, DJ, White -- I predicted White wouldn't make it through the season health wise. Turns out it was the other way around but he's still very susceptible to injury. Please no.
