Why Derrick White can help the Celtics win a championship

Derrick White is enjoying the best season of his professional career. Lining up alongside Jrue Holiday, White is part of the best backcourt in the NBA. His ability to operate as a point-of-attack or trail defender gives the Boston Celtics two reliable perimeter defenders. On offense, White is a high-level decision-maker, rarely putting a foot wrong.

With such a stellar backcourt duo and White emerging as a potential All-Star candidate, it’s no wonder that the Celtics are thriving this season. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are both being empowered to play a team-centric style of play, with White’s ability as a connector playing a vital role in getting the best out of the two All-NBA wings.

A recent video by the YouTube channel “slykai” has labeled White as Boston’s “Super Weapon” due to his versatile skillset and even-keeled nature.
