Derrick White
Pros: Lethal scorer from all over the floor, play maker, gets to the free throw line, great vision
Cons: Needs to improve defense and rebounding ability, some turnover issues
Derick White is one of my personal favorite late first round draft prospects this year. He’s an explosive match up nightmare who posses the ability to score and finish from almost anywhere. He has a knack for getting to the free throw line and is consistent at finishing those too. He finished his senior year at Colorado averaging 18.1 points, 4.1 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game. His averages stood tall at 50.7% from the field, 39.6% from downtown and 81.3% at the free-throw line. Those numbers are hard to look past. Guard may be one of the positions Brooklyn has depth in but White may be too good to pass on. He still has many parts of his game to work on but for now he seems like an electric scorer who can greatly improve a struggling offense.
