    Very nice signing imo by the Spurs. I think it will be very beneficial for White to learn and play behind Bruce Bowen.

    He'll battle with Matt Bonner for minutes. Good signing though. He has a lot fo talent, and he is very athletic. He could be good in the future.

    Yeah he can dunk, but does he have the work ethic to add anything to his game? It's been an issue for him for a long time.

    HELL YEAH!!! I am so glad that we signed him. We actually have a guard younger than Tony Parker.

    This is very exciting news for me. He is a great athlete and he was the best player on Cincinatti last season. Playing alongside Bruce Bowen in practice is really going to benefit him IMO. I dont know a whole lot about the guy but the couple times I saw him play in college, he did fairly well. I hope he gets the pt. Its great to see a young, talented, and athletic guy on the spurs roster though. No doubt.
