Derrick White continues to shatter expectations with historic two-way play
Unfortunately, it seems to be a challenge for many fans to focus on anything other than the three-point shooting when it comes to Derrick White. He has been up and down this season, and the sample size is still relatively small, but his down year a season ago is still fresh in the minds of many.
By now, though, Celtics fans should realize that White’s impact goes well beyond his shooting and, if anything, when he makes them, it has become a bit of a bonus. But he’s certainly still capable, and the defense has to respect his stroke. In 12 games so far, he has already knocked down 3+ threes in three of them, and in his most recent one, he added four blocks on the defensive end.
