Great article of Derrick White's underdog story. Went from his dad mailing highlights videos to random DII colleges who had graduating guards (and nearly all rejected him) to probably getting drafted to the NBA. Crazy ****.

I've been here trying to sound the alarm on this story pretty much from get-go. He was in one of my initial mocks... This is not some story u hear about often, it doesn't manifest itself on the court like what this kid has already achieved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, either.. I almost want to use one of my least favorite words, unique.

Jok will be a better pro then he was a college player. He was always being doubled team and was the focal point of other teams scouting reports. If he can settle in to being a 3D player then he has a good chance. Don t see Redd in his future but Morrow he could be.

A better pro than Derrick White?
 
any questions on prospects? I invite the best most complex and intricate questions u can muster, full-force. Go for it, do your worst, concoct a real doozy, add all sorts of qualifications and whatever u can come up with..

My days here are numbered. Some new team/fanbase is never gonna know what hit them when I touch down on their forums.. My entrance will be probably similar to here, people will swear im one of the local trolls with a new persona (they thought I was Franklin when i touched down here, there was an epic thread that I think I deleted all my comments from after the fact.)

This place has provided me with great entertainment and lessons. Before I bow out, least I can do is shed some light on opinions that I've spent a truly embarrassing amount of time reaching.

He was an undrafted free agent that shot the lights out from 3, in fact he led the league in % as a rookie.. He shot it so well it was undeniable that he was worthy of being on an NBA roster (and with a real contract)

His defense has nothing to do with any of that.. U don't look in the UDFA for the most complete players, u look for ones who've got a tool sharp enough that it can be used and leveraged in spurts.. and Morrow was exactly that, in spades.

Context is always important. Always follow the $$$, many of these stats are bogus in comparison.. These stats and 'experts' help people lose the scent of whats truly important as a tracker. $$$ is the greatest stat of all in sports. Things are always worth what others will pay, the key question is "Why?" and how to appraise true underlying value, which again Morrow as an UDFA was in spades..
