What Derrick White’s return means for the Spurs
Share this story
The starters have been a disaster this season. Can Derrick White fix that?
Marilyn Dubinski: Assuming the passive version of him is gone and Bubble White is here to stay, he definitely can. The starters begin both halves extremely slow, playing a big role in the staggering difference between the Spurs first/third and second/fourth quarters ratings. Those slow starts can be tied to both ends of the court, with poor ball movement early on offense and being slow to get back on defense. White can change both of those things if they put the ball in his hands and tell him to be the aggressor early. I’m not sure if he alone can truly “fix” the starters, but if he can get them closer to neutral while a boosted bench (that will likely feature either Lonnie Walker or Keldon Johnson) continues to demolish opponents and create separation, they will definitely be better.
The Spurs have been good so far, but have they done enough to change the expectations fans had before the season? The PtR crew discusses the surprises, good and bad, and revisits their earlier predictions.
