Derrick White

PG, San Antonio Spurs

Derrick White will be in the starting lineup for the Spurs-Nets matchup on Friday.

We never thought we'd see the day when Derrick White got to start alongside Dejounte Murray, but apparently Gregg Popovich has finally seen the light. Jokes aside, this should only be a boost to White's long-term outlook, as the more he is allowed to play alongside Murray, the more his minute's cap will rise with the Spurs. He was a top-100 player last season, and if he is going to start and see consistent minutes he could be that kind of player again. Murray's value should not change much with the lineup tweak, and you should monitor the situation to see how long the Spurs stick to this change.
