For much if not all of the Boston Celtics‘ run in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, guard Derrick White was the Celtics’ third-best player — and on more than a few nights the second-best player on the floor for Boston. We would be remiss if we did not mention his buzzer-beating win to keep the team’s season alive a little longer vs. the Miami Heat, but White was a steady force for Boston throughout almost the entire postseason.
The Colorado native put up 13.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 50.5% from the floor overall, a sizzling 45.5% from beyond the arc, and 91.2% from the free throw line.
