Derrick White received a similar treatment to Dejounte Murray in his rookie season, spending most of the year in the G League and receiving sporadic call-ups to the San Antonio Spurs roster. He played sparingly when given the opportunity with the main squad, but that should change in the 2018-19 season.
Without Kyle Anderson, Danny Green, Tony Parker and Brandon Paul, the White has the chance to earn a larger role in San Antonio’s backcourt. DeMar DeRozan is around to start, but backup minutes should be plentiful.
White is aware of what’s at hand this fall, according to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News.
