Could the key to the Boston Celtics‘ success in the 2023 NBA postseason to simply play guard Derrick White more minutes? When the Colorado native has played heavy minutes for the Celtics this season into the playoffs, Boston has done very well regardless of who the opponent on the other side of the basketball court is.
A more confident, settled version of White has at times been Boston’s best player since the month of January, with the University of Colorado alum making life easier on the court for stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum offensively while being a league leader in blocks and charges by a guard.
NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg recently broke down how important White is to the Celtics’ playoff aspirations on his regular “Forsberg’s Four” segment.
Check out the conversation he had about it with Tim Giles in the clip embedded above.
