The Boston Celtics will help Derrick White set a new career-high in points per game and grant his wish of being the guy. Fans may remember the 6’4 guard shared his desire to drop 30 every night and be the top scoring option after dominating the Magic in Game 1 of their opening round playoff series in 2025. He will now take over as the 1A with Jayson Tatum out. On the nights when teams sell out to stop Jaylen Brown, the Celtics will need a star performance from White.
White averaged a career-high 16.4 points per game last season, and it increased to 18.
