Derrick White could receive about $8.5 million for his 4-year deal with San Antonio

MANILA, Philippines – The San Antonio Spurs have officially signed their first-round draft pick Derrick White in a 4-year rookie deal on Thursday, July 6 (Friday, July 7, Manila time).

According to a report, White could receive about $8.5 million in total as prescribed by the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement.

The 29th pick of this year’s NBA Draft is already part of the Utah Summer League and is contributing to the team with an average of 11.5 points and 2.5 assists in two appearances.

Standing at 6-foot-5, White spent 3 college seasons with the University of Colorado on a partial scholarship, a Division-II school.

“It was a cool feeling (signing the contract),” White said before the Spurs’ summer league game in Salt Lake City on Thursday. “But now the work really begins. You just got to get back in the gym and work to get more money in the future.”
