It may seem hard to believe, but I’m looking at the stats right now, and I’m thinking that Derrick White is a top-25 Bubble player right now. You know, the guy who was a midget with no college prospects before magically turning into an NBA player? Now he’s magically turned from an NBA player into…

OFFICIAL DTB DISCLAIMER: Derrick White is older than Giannis. At 26 years old, he’s also five years older than Lonnie Walker and three years older that Dejounte Murray, even though he’s grouped with those guys as the “young core” of the Spurs.

One thing that struck me while watching this game was that Derrick White was being aggressive with his three-pointers.

I am, apparently, the worst judge of talent ever because I 100 percent thought that Derrick White was due for a breakout year this year. My hopes were dampened a little bit by his performance in whatever Euro FIBA Olympic Cup Thing was going on during the offseason (what was he doing on that team…

Derrick White is coming off a 2018-19 season where he played unexpectedly well, or, at least, unexpected for an outside observer like myself, to average fifteen PPG per game this season off the bench on 62% shooting. We’re only four games into the season so there’s a lot of time for averages and percentages to…
