10, 6, 6. Probably the most well rounded player in the entire roster. He just needs to believe that he belongs.
Good to see that Pop allowed him to make mistakes and persevere through em. His defense on Lillard was great, he's the only 2 way guard on this team atm.
Amazing what can happen when Pop doesnt pull him for any mistake.
The only way Spurs make the playoffs is if Pop frees Derrick & Lonnie at the expense of all of Beli minutes and some of Mills & Bryns.
Those two have to be freed and be given significant roles around LMA, DeRozan, Gay, Bertans.
Same thing with Bertans he needs to let
the young guys learn if they get beat so what it happens. As long as they play hard and are not afraid to shoot the ball leave them in.
It’s not like we are going to win a championship this year. I want to know for sure what the new kids can bring to the team. Cause Pop and RC are going to have to make real basketball decisions on who they keep, trade, or let go. that he is a Spurs player crap we need height and athletic talent.
Pop needs to keep this kids confidence up. Last night was the White that I envisioned. Now let's see if he can build on this game and develop into a consistent player. I thought he wouldn't be closing games until January but looks like Pop trusts him right now
Pop put him as starter in his first game pos-injury, he must have seen that this kid is legitimate
Yup, pop need to sink or swim with his young talent.
Gay and Aldrige are vets on their last legs. They can barely move.
Yeah he did start him but then he benched him for a while and played him sporadically in other games. Pop just needs to have White's confidence up at this stage since this is his first year along essentially and let him make his mistakes without worrying about being pulled.
just a reminder that he is a mediocre at best, backup guard in this league. 3 turnovers in only 20 minutes
If you actually saw the game you would know Pop never put him in position to get a rhythm and pretty much the rest of the team played discombobulated on both ends.
some great takes from the regular posters tbh
Wow, that is ugly. I saw someone else in that thread call White "old and slow". I mentioned in another thread, but he had the second best three-quarter sprint time in his combine. And he was practically ready for retirement at 23.
Nobody is calling him Fathead, Jr. anymore.
The ghosts of Kyles past have been exorcised.
I agree we need to let the young guys play and learn but I think Pop pulls guys for mistakes sometimes just so in the future they don't make the same mistakes. It makes the players think about it and I'm sure it helps the team cut down on mistakes or he wouldn't do it just to do it.
spurs have been retooling after the big3 left, and losing nearly half of that roster that made it to the wcf against the gsw...
these new young guys are lucky, they are being thrown out there to be tested...yet there are still 2-3 pos of this team that needs to go to make way for younger players
I called Kawhitter before mainstream spermfam knew what was going on, so enjoy your victory on the one pick I've gotten wrong.
well considering your entire shtick is that everyone sucks, it's not surprising
LOL. Yep, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Derrick White and the Spurs on the cover of the new Sports Illustrated!
The new Sports Illustrated issue goes on sale Thursday, April 4.
What?
At least they spelled White's name right.
Wtf? The Spurs have become Sacramento level of respect
Sacramento did just sweep us. So, maybe its deserved.
BTW White #29, and some people here still want to tank.....
