29th Pick: PG/SG Derrick White

Love this pick. He was one of the guys I really wanted, versatile offensive player that can score in a variety of ways. He's ready to contribute right now and I think a lot of teams overlooked him because of his age and the fact that he spent so much time playing D2 ball.

Thoughts on the pick?

steal. better than where he was picked. can play both guard spots which helps with switching on d.
he and murray and we have a future athletic tandom. if they become more consistent shooting the 3
read some where he is only 4 in history to average 18 pts, 6 assists, block and a steal. not sure but when you are one out of four? thats interesting at minimum.
sounds like everyone knew he was the guy. glad no one took him.

Picking a combo guard means we're not keeping someone like Mills/Simmons/Green

What about Forbes? Are we cutting him? Any news on Ginobili? The SG spot could be totally new for next years with the latest moves.

Ginobili might be back for one more year.

Mills is definitely gone

Murray/White
Green/Simmons

Looks that way for the next 5 years or so

Maybe Murray/White and Simmons/Hanga depending on how Hanga develops
