Heading into the playoffs, if anyone were to tell you that someone other than LaMarcus Aldridge or DeMar DeRozan would be the Spurs’ best player, you’d probably think there was a problem. As it turns out, having Derrick White as your best player on both ends is not a bad thing at all.
In their Game 3 win over the Nuggets to gain a 2-1 series advantage, White was all over the place, scoring a career high 36 points (26 in the first half) to go along 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block (although it sure felt like more).
