If there has been an unexpected X-factor for the Boston Celtics in the 2022-23 NBA season, it has been veteran guard Derrick White. He has grown into a major role with the Celtics after gaining familiarity with his (relatively) new club.
He is the only player on Boston’s roster who has played all 82 regular-season contests. He earned a starting role as a byproduct of averaging 12.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting a career-high (38.1%) from beyond the arc at volume.
Emerging as a real third option for Boston at just the right moment, the Colorado native has become a critical part of what it takes for the Celtics to win this season.
To see his best plays from the 2022-23 regular season, check out the clip embedded above courtesy of fan videographer Tomasz Kordylewski.
