    i hate to say it but i have never seen hill this tenacious on defense this early on in his career if ever. i remember in hill's time with the spurs he was our defensive specialist but it really looks like white is leaps ahead of him in that department already. i think we were all fooled by hill's physique and long arms but white is like a feisty pit bull looking to bite your hand off for that ball.

    The 6-foot-2 player has a 7-foot wingspan

    Some places say 7 foot, others 6'10", others 6'9". Whatever the case, he's longer than White.

    Forehead's the limit with my man DWhite, definitely think he can be a 14/5/5 guy with above average defense.

    He is already showing glimpses of 1st team all-defense at the PG position, tbh.

    hill was molded more into the bowen type defender, not the type that will get you steals and blocks aka danny/kawhi type of defender...

    white is currently like kyle anderson, but with more speed and aggressive approach to the game

    White's is 6'7.5"

    Bottom line is it barely matters.

    Hill is and always has been overrated here. Even in Indiana he underproduced .

    I wouldnt think too much about it, he is not a great dunker for that supposed wingspan.
    Always a terrible PG for SA, doubting too much to do anything.
    White on the other hand has nice speed and explosive hops.

    Hill being so skinny gives the impression of large arms.
    And there is not much else to say about him.

    Nobody knew who Hill was coming out of IUPUI, and certainly no one had great expectations for Hill coming from such a small school.
    He was polished coming out of college, bruh. You not knowing about him doesn't change that.

    Um, the team would have one less championship with Hill instead of TP. Anyone asking for that move was an idiot plain and simple.



    Context: Tony was coming off an injury plagued season and put up some of the worst numbers of his career (during his physical peak) while Hill was overachieving and some people (falsely) thought he had all-star potential.

    I think the front-office made the right decision and if White can become a solid pro like Hill that is a good thing. I do think his bigger frame, superior handles, better passing and more consistent (at a similar age) defense makes the one - to - one comparison inaccurate.

    Also, White is a far more natural PG while Hill (like Forbes & Mills) is a SG trapped in a PG's body.
    Hill was playing at a high level; he continued to be a starter at Indy, bruh.

    White, 6 steals in Denver

    Someone had to fill the defensive void created by Fathead's departure.

    Hopefully he's a little more strong-headed. I always thought George Hill was great, but he was pretty mentally weak tbh. Hopefully White can fill more into those shoes and be a good leader on the floor.

    White has more depth to his game on both ends.

    Hopefully, between White and Cunningham, we have enough energy, tenacity, and elbows to throw at nephew next week. Not sure who's gonna take care of Siakam, Lowry, or OG though.

    As long as the Spurs spank them, and Kawhitter s the bed (read: plays well below his averages), I'll be content.

    Hoping for DeRozan and Aldridge to play inspired ball.

    took GHILL a while to become a goot shooter

    white in his 2nd year is already a better shooter then ghill

    imo white needs to be more aggressive on offense looking for his own baskets, then being afraid of missing a shot going straight to the bench to be chewed out by pop...

    Maybe that's what it is. Repeatedly, I would see White and Bertans get past their man and not even square their shoulders to the basket. It was obvious they were expected to find the next guy after the defense converged. But that lack of ability to keep the defense honest is going to kill the Spurs come playoff time.

    Don’t laugh now, but I see Kidd in White, with the vision, bigger guard and elite defense. Hey you never know. Spurs helped honed a 28th pick guard to a future HOF.
