On a recent episode of the "White Noise Podcast," Derrick White shared a change he believed was necessary. It was an adjustment that has greatly benefited his career.
"Why I changed my technique was I'd have really hot days, I go through stretches where I'd shoot really well, and then I'd also have days where I wasn't," White told co-host Alex Welsh. "It's hard to roll that roller coaster, especially as a role player, like you're getting 10 shots."
It's not just the lack of shots; it's also the lack of touches. Even for White, a guard, as a role player, especially earlier in his career with the San Antonio Spurs, he could go multiple possessions without touching the ball.
