One of the reasons why the Spurs looked so go in the bubble and fueled the hopes of fans coming into the season was the play of Derrick White. An injury derailed the beginning of this season for him, but he was expected to be a major piece in San Antonio’s offense in 2020/21.
The return to form took a while, but it’s finally here, as White has averaged 18 points per game for the Spurs in April, the second highest mark in the month. Yet more interesting than the amount of buckets he’s getting is how. The three-pointer, which was a big part of White’s game at the end of last season, has become arguably his main weapon now as he’s transitioned to an off-ball role.
