After three full days of rest, Derrick White looked fantastic. With Jrue Holiday ruled out of the game, he operated as the Boston Celtics primary point guard against the Detroit Pistons. As we’ve come to expect from White, he controlled the game on both sides of the floor and was a viable shot-creator for his teammates.
White is great at finding little pockets within angles. The above transition play is a good example, as he spots Payton Pritchard’s cut toward the basket, waits until there’s some daylight between the two defenders and threads a quick pass through the gap.
