When he was first acquired by the Celtics in 2022, Derrick White did not foresee himself being in position to break the Celtics’ single-season record for most made 3-pointers.
But, he did just that on Monday night against the Grizzlies, knocking down his 247th 3-pointer of the season and surpassing previous record holder Isaiah Thomas.
White’s role has evolved during his time with the Celtics. He came off the bench at first. He eventually emerged, not just as the team’s starting point guard, but as one of the most dependable clutch performers in the league.
