As of Wednesday afternoon, the Boston Celtics hold a very underwhelming 3-5 record to begin the season. The unfortunate reality is that the first two weeks of this campaign have featured a very disappointing stretch from Derrick White, and the Celtics are likely not going to going to be able to reach anything close to their full potential until he snaps out of this funk.
Through the first eight games of the season, White is averaging 14.4 points but on positively dismal shooting splits. He is making just 31% of his shots from the floor, while connecting on just 26.
