Yes, at the top we see the combo White/Pritchard at +23. But no Holiday on the list!
How come? Are Holiday and White too similar as a player which diminishes the value of Holiday?

Most people would agree that Holiday is a better player than Pritchard, but a lot of advanced stats don't really show that.
Has Holiday quietly been a bit of a disappointment so far? Take into account that he was an All Star last season.

There's a smallish sample size on that pair. And I think most advanced stats that are worthwhile probably show Holiday as a better player than Pritchard.

If anything, I think it's a situation where the White/Pritch combo maybe does work well because without Jrue on the floor, DWhite becomes our defacto lead guard, whereas with Jrue on the floor roles are obscured a bit. Last season we also played really well when Smart was injured and White was starting at the point, possibly for a similar reason.

But I posted this in the DWhite thread for a reason, I was thinking it says more about him and his importance to the team, than anything else.

DWhite/Jrue btw come in at +12.3, just off the list. I would say Jrue doesn't show elsewhere simply because he is typically on the floor while White is on the bench.

This was nice.


White leads the team in 3-pt makes in the clutch (9/16) almost doubling the next guy -- Tatum, 5/13. Add in team-leading 4 blocks, +55, and 7:0 A/TO ratio. Second on team in clutch points with 43 on 60/56/100 splits lol.

The 9 clutch 3s is t-2nd (Dame, Hali) behind Curry.

Shai and DWhite only ones not on a rookie contract. True bargain.

Nice Derrick article from a San Antonio writer...

Weekly reminder that White is among the best bargain contracts in the league AKA Brad is a GOD.

Wild that Tatum has twice as many threes when they were drafted the same year.

He's too pure, even for your silly guessing games.

Apologies if posted already.

DWhite, 2023: 17/4/5/1/1 on 49/42/88 splits. 65.3% TS%, 3.06 A/TO, 15.0 NetRtg. Celtics 26-6 record.
DWhite, 2024: 13/4/4/.6/1 on 40/37/87 splits. 53.0% TS%, 2.78 A/TO, 6.7 NetRtg. Celtics 12-6 record.

Celtics "slump" has coincided with DWhite's.

When White's in flamethrower mode this team is almost unbeatable.

So now all we need is for Tatum to turn into Jokic and Brown into Playoff Murray?
