gold star for USAHOF
 

34. Derrick White

What a player Derrick White has become for the Boston Celtics!

Traded from the San Antonio Spurs in early 2022, White became an instant fan favorite in Boston, for his high-intelligence court skills, expert passing, and attention to defense, which has made him one of the most dependable “glue” players in the game; so much that a player who is not an All-Star saw considerable minutes for Team U.S.A. in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

White’s performance in France was only months after he helped the Celtics win the 2024 NBA Championship, a title that likely would not have happened without acquiring him from the Spurs.

Entering another season with Boston, White may never become an All-Star, but he is one of the most respected players in the game.
