He never talks about White’s offense, it’s always about his defense. Which isn’t accurate either lol, but not sure what it has to do with a heliocentric Tatum offense.
I have those winners on mute so I’ll answer through you. I don’t often talk in game threads because it’s full of whiners, homers and doomsayers. It’s exhausting. As to why I don’t talk about his offense, why would I? He’s a great role player and this season has been hitting his wide open threes. Nobody is delusional and calling for him to be named an all-star like they are claiming he’s DPOY caliber. So I don’t feel the need to keep people in check regarding his offense. He does his job on offense and is integral. I watch the games and that’s what my eyes tell me. They also tell me he regularly gets cooked on defense and it’s laughable that people think he’s worthy of all-defense. Even Jaylen is a better defender and he’s just barely above average. White is like our 5th best defender behind Tatum, Smart, Timelord and Jaylen but to read this thread you’d think he was our best. It’s dumb and deserves to be mocked so here I am!!
I am a huge fan of White trade but I agree with a lot of what you said here about White’s offense. Quinn Snyder is a really good coach and there is a reason he always has one of his best defenders (Hunter, Murray) on Brown and Tatum and why he lives with Trae Young guarding White.
Our team is made up of 7 guys who are solid 2 way players and White is one of the better individual and team defenders. I would put Horford in top 3 however. All of our defenders are getting cooked and struggling with Trae’s speed but thankfully they all can cook him at the other end too.
