Derrick White’s development has played a huge part in the Spurs making it to the postseason this year. He’s been a stabilizing two-way force in the rotation, making his mark mostly on defense but also filling in the gaps on offense as a scorer and creator. He’s established himself as a quality NBA player.
The downside to becoming a key cog on a good team is that it’s hard to catch opponents off guard anymore. Teams now make stopping White part of their game plan. One of the ways they are trying to accomplish that lately is by going under screens at times, daring him to shoot.
