PARKER — It’s about hitting more buckets and fewer walls. Which is the rationale behind all those hours Derrick White’s logged in the weight room this summer; why he’s putting up 500 shots per day; why he decided, for kicks, to reacquaint his lungs with The Incline in Manitou Springs a few weeks back.
“That was kind of fun. I hadn’t done it since I left UC-Colorado Springs,” White, the San Antonio Spurs guard and former Parker High/CU Buffs/UCCS standout, recalled Monday at the Parker Fieldhouse, site of the new basketball academy that bears his name.
