Getting swept up in all of combo guard Derrick White’s glory has been easy for San Antonio Spurs fans this season. The circumstances of his increased role were highly unfortunate, but he’s used this time to show the world what he’s capable of as a primary defender and ball handler. With his blocks, steals and floaters parading across your Twitter feed, it becomes easy to forget that he’s just a sophomore and still has a way to go before fulfilling his potential.
White’s matchup against ‘Cardiac’ Kemba Walker on Tuesday night put things into perspective; for as talented as he is, White is still very young and new to this league.
