3rd best win percentage (min 100 games) by a Celtic in the last 35 seasons behind Posey and House.

He's just about at our current percentage. He's 69%; we're 70.6%.
Not too shabby.

White's only missed a game since he came here. Cs won that so their record during that span is 70-31.

One thing that is completely overlooked on this forum this year is the impact of White. I would say he’s the most improved Celtic from last year. Shooting, passing, defense has been great. He’s been just as impactful as Brogdon but Brogdon has the bigger name in the NBA and has been great also. White has stepped it up big time. Which makes this team even more deadly. He deserves a lot of recognition of how good he’s been this year.

I wouldn't say White is the most improved Celtic. He has always been pretty good. Last season, he was having a down season shooting the 3.

But I agree that he is kind of overlooked. White does a little of everything. Scores, rebounds, passes and plays good defense.
He let's the game come to him and he doesn't force things. We are lucky to have him on the Celtics. Props to Brad.

Third 20-7-7 of his career, 1st as a Celtic.

Guy is good. Some people got mad because we gave up a first round pick. But, who cares at this point

He won’t, but he should get serious consideration for all-NBA defense.

Legit one of the worst in our franchise’s history. ONLY a championship with him as a major reason for winning would make this palatable. We’re going to feel the ramifications of this for a decade

Sorry BCGM but I had to … 8-)

I LOVE DERRICK & MALCOLM - INGENIOUS & iNVALUABLE ADDITIONS!

Just realized that Derrick's son is Hendrix, his dad (who we all love to follow now on Twitter) is Richard. And the main character on Silicon Valley is Richard Hendricks.

That is all.

I know everybody doesn't agree but I much prefer watching Derrick White play basketball than 2027 top-1 protected first round pick swap.

The Spurs must have been shocked when we added the first round pick and future swap. Holy smokes is this one of the worst trades we’ve ever done.

This was the moment I knew the Celtics made a great trade.

did you guys see what a game White had against the tanking Hornets? Simply incredible. This brought his scoring average to 11.3 ppg which is even higher than last season's 11 ppg! He was so good last season we didn't feel the need to trade a 2023 1st and Nesmith for an upgrade in Brogdon...oh wait.

That's a remarkably stupid comment even by your standards, given that Brogdon's arrival hasn't shrunk White's role one iota.

Brogdon took Nesmith's and Pritchard's minutes most directly.
