Feed Your Head wrote:White is a lot more than “a guy who won’t lose you anything” on the defensive end. Every advanced stat has him as one of the best defensive guards in the league.

The three point shot thing doesn’t matter, because everyone knows he’s a much better shooter from three than he’s shown here. It’s a cold streak, eventually it will correct, as it almost always does.

He has done everything at a high level except shoot, and everyone knows that will come around, considering the shots he’s taking are great looks. I care much more about everything else, as opposed to one extra shot going in per game.


From March of 22

Someone else’s posts aged quite horribly lol.

Not everyone can be Derrick. Otherwise the Celtics would be 21-0 and not 16-5. Tsk.

Currently only two players scoring 15.0+ ppg w/ 60.0%+ eFG% and 2.0+ A/TO:

Our guy is also an All-NBA defender.

EDIT 12/16: This still holds true.

Derrick White is 14th in EPM, 19th in EW, 17th in BPM, 16th in WS and 20th in VORP!
By all accounts White should be an All Star based on his performances.

White is an amazingly allround basketball player. He's good with on-ball and off-ball defense. He's a good passer, good driver and a good shooter. And all of this combined with a high BBIQ. There's no weakness in his game. Rare.

Basketball clinic. Full package. For the price of a mere pick swap.



Dunno if he'll be able to sustain it for a full season, but DWhite's combination of 15 ppg, 5 apg, and 60% effective FG% has never been done in Celtics history.

Too unselfish to get the numbers. Hopefully, the coaches vote him in esp if Cs remain on top til late January.

White has been the player they hoped they were getting in Holliday. Honestly I wonder how he would look with a increase in touches, it always seems like he makes the right play.

That's cos it ain't sexy and those plays won't make any highlight reels. Gets you two points just the same.

White won’t make all star but he should make 1st team all defense, has a shot at a 50-40-90 season, and has to be a contender for MIP.

Imagine being one of those people who at the beginning of the year actually thought Derrick White wasn't capable of running point for this team. Could never be me.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

The hype is real. Not merely a role player. But like Joe said, everyone has to be less for the team to be more.

Are we SURE Derrick White isn't capable of scoring 20/game on high efficiency for the next 3 years?
