Derrick White has continued to struggle, shooting just 36% from the floor and 31% from three. His defensive impact is still as high as ever, averaging 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals per game, but his offensive play has been a huge hit to an inconsistent Celtics offense.
Anfernee Simons has settled in after an inconsistent start to the season averaging 13 points on 48/43 shooting.
