Welcome Derrick White – (Agreed on $125.9M Extension)

DWhite usage in October (5 gms): 17.4%
DWhite usage in November (10 gms): 21.6%

I like how this is trending. Get the ball in DWhite's hands if it's not in JT's. I don't mind the dip in his scoring efficiency. He would still make the right play almost every time esp in the half court. Two or three bad iso/postup possessions in a row? Settle things down and let DWhite set the table.

White is a top 20 player IMO.

I'm going to assume that the 0 is a typo.

Spoke too soon.

15.1% in the Wizards game. JB at 37.4% lol. Just no consistency with DWhite's usage. Still somehow delivers esp in the 4th.

DWhite's floater game has been on point.

Erik Spoelstra had high praise for Derrick White’s shot blocking ability:

“Derrick is uncanny. He did it all summer long [the Olympics], too… He just has a knack for the timely blocks, it wasn’t just the number of blocks… Derrick is really unique. It’s an incredible talent.”

There's only been one guard in NBA history who's scored 18+ ppg on 62%+ eFG% clip for a full season -- Steph Curry (2015-16). That's where White is at 20 games in. Add in a 3.0 assist/turnover ratio and he's one of one.

EDIT: Lower the bar to 15+ ppg and Payton Pritchard joins his teammate. Just insane start to the season for these two.

He’s got nothing on Jeff Teague

White played his 201st game as a Celtic vs. Miami the other night. Celtics have won 75.6% of those games (152-49).

Since the 2022 trade deadline, only 20 players have played 200+ games in the NBA. Of the 20, no one else has a win percentage above 65%.

Months ago both here and on the General Board I shortened this concept to "Get the ball in DWhite's hands."

White's in a mini slump. I think he's a little nicked up but he's being picked up by everybody else.

After tonight's Memphis game there should be a nice stretch where he can rest up.

Only one other player is averaging at least 3 threes per game, 1+ bpg, and 1+ spg this season. It's that tall French dude in San Antonio.

Derrick White just supplanted Ricky Davis to move into the TOP 50 career points in Celtics history. Payton will move into the top 50 by season’s end, he’s roughly 400 pts (or 25 games at current pace) away.
