The San Antonio Spurs expect great things from Derrick White this year. After taking over the starting role midway the season White emerged as a strong two-way guard for San Antonio. And after a summer full of high-quality basketball, expectations were high for White in his third year.
As a team, the Spurs haven’t played up to their ability in their first two preseason contests. There have been bright spots, but overall the team has struggled. After two blow out losses to the Magic and Heat, San Antonio will have a chance to get right against the New Orleans Pelicans.
