On why the Boston Celtics’ Derrick White should be an All-Star

Rumbles have started to percolate suggesting that the Colorado alum is worthy of an All-Star nod this season.

Fans of the Boston Celtics were understandably nonplussed earlier in the NBA’s 2023-24 season when a certain prominent NBA news outlet left starting Celtics floor general Derrick White off their top 100 NBA players list for the season despite his excellent play to close out the team’s deep run in the 2023 playoffs.

Since then, the Colorado native has been elevating his game even further, with both stat heads and the eye test singing the praises of White’s game alongside new Boston combo guard Jrue Holiday in the backcourt dubbed the “Stock Exchange” by White’s father, Richard. Rumbles have started to percolate suggesting that the Colorado alum is even worthy of an All-Star nod this season.

Count Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley among them, who writes on how White is on the radar of other league analysts in such a regard.
