What to make of the Derrick White Experience

Derrick White approached this regular season as an exciting 2nd year prospect. First expected to lead the team’s bench unit and challenge for backcourt minutes alongside Dejounte Murray and DeMar DeRozan, then to help offset Murray’s loss to an ACL tear, White succumbed to a preseason injury of his own, which has delayed and somewhat derailed his sophomore season. In Austin last year, and in limited time in San Antonio, Derrick showed off his decision-making skills and shooting ability, making him a potentially potent replacement for the team’s All-Defense point-guard, though it hasn’t worked out that way so far.
