The Spurs’ resounding victory over the Thunder on Saturday night served as yet another showcase for Derrick White’s emergence as one of the best young point guards in the league. With 14 points on 10 shooting possessions, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in less than 30 minutes, Derrick was efficient and effective the entire game.
He was especially deadly as an outlet and secondary option. Without Paul George, the Thunder defense was unable to close the gaps and seams quickly enough to keep Derrick out of the paint, and once there, he wrecked havoc.
