They have too much depth now, his usage and role will fluctuate, and he doesn’t provide the spacing the starting 5 needs, so basically he’s a defensive specialist back up combo guard who’s minutes will fluctuate, no thanks.

freddo 378 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 He's in the rotation and spurs will change up their rotation from matchup to matchup. Will look rosterable throughout the season at different points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lifschitz 2,246 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hahaha It was a pretty easy decision for me. Pops has always been notoriously hard to trust, he doesn’t care about stats, he wants guys to play specific roles and pigeon holes them. White is dealing with Murray, Forbes, Mills, Belli, and even some Lonnie Walker, it’s almost as bad as the carousel in New Orleans but not quite. I like the talent, but talent doesn’t always paint the whole picture, usage/min/role is more important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesBridgesBetterThanZion 271 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Easiest drop i've ever made. Popped plus surrounded by 5+ guys eating into his minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will look rosterable throughout the season at different points. It’s pretty hard to justify him starting, he isn’t going to start over Murray, DeMar isn’t going to the bench and nor is Aldridge, so try to picture a lineup of Murray, white, demar, Aldridge, and Lyles (or maybe poeltl) trying to shoot threes, that isn’t going to work. The only way he gets in is when Pops does his random rest the starter days. We know Murray and white are the two best guards, but no one is looking at the composition of the starting 5, I would let my team zone and just let them shoot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raiiny 506 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 He needed to work on his 3pt shot and he didn't, so he isn't going to start unless someone gets injured. Maybe in a year or two but doesn't seem like it this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iowncrazyhair 1,208 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So did y'all drop him for Forbes or someone else? I'm pretty sure of letting go already Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kept him in a a deeper league as there were no better options. Couldve drafted Murray over White in 2/3 leagues though so that’s a lesson learned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ROTY 836 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I stalled to drop him for Winslow, then gave him 1 more game and Nunn went off the board during his 2nd game. Now finally dropped for OG. Absolutely hate myself for not pulling the trigger earlier. Hope this is a lesson to all out there. If the situation caps your players upside, get rid ASAP! These decisions win leagues! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These decisions win leagues! That's exactly it. There's 2 things that play a much bigger role in player success than people give credit to: 1. Usage / minutes / depth - rotation / situation + real life versus fantasy 2. Games played You'll have role players who don't get a high usage (Pj Washington) and still succeed, but there's talented guys like Derrick White and NAW who are stuck in 6 man rotations. What I mean by 'real life versus fantasy', is that Derrick White can have all the talent, but the 4 other starters are Murray, DeRozan, Aldridge, and Lyles (or Poeltl). I haven't seen a single person (not Josh Lloyd who had a hard on for Derrick White or any other 'expert') point out that he doesn't fit within the starting unit whatsoever. This idea that Pops was just going to stick him in a 5 man group where no one shoots threes well was absurd. Sure they'd be better defensively, but they've have a really hard time scoring every time down the floor and they'd start getting behind in games because they lack perimeter shooting. You can't score long range 2's all day. Forbes just made a lot more sense there from a real life perspective. FVV after a great playoff run and at his age 25 season runs into a 35-40 minute role and all of a sudden he's a top 40 player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
