With every passing game, Derrick White continues to impress for the Spurs. When healthy, the second-year guard is already surpassing expectations on both ends of the floor. He can shoot from anywhere, create his own shot or for others, and is the best (available) perimeter defender on the squad. He’s the type of player who doesn’t always stand out when he’s on the court, but as we have seen he’s definitely missed when he’s off it.
He showed how dynamic his game is once again in last night’s win over the second-seed Denver Nuggets.
