Here’s why Boston’s Derrick White deserves to be an All-Star this season

Derrick White’s outstanding play for the Boston Celtics this season has positioned him as a strong candidate for an All-Star selection in the eyes of some NBA analysts.

In fact, NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg recently came up with four key metrics that highlight White’s impact on the team and make a compelling case for his candidacy to make the league’s 2023 All-Star Game. From his exceptional net rating to a career-best true shooting percentage, defensive prowess in stocks (what are those?), and playmaking ability, White has showed off his excellence on both ends of the court this season.

On a recent episode of his regular “Forsberg’s Four” segment, the NBC Sports analyst joins cohost Amina Smith on “Celtics Post Up” to make the case for White as an All-Star this season.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what he had to say!
