he’s genuinely one of the smartest players i’ve ever seen play the game. he’s not flashy, not a super athlete but he just gets the job done and is always playing. just a professional through and through.
For any of you that maybe just don’t watch too many Celtics games and are only watching this excellent highlight reel compilation, I can promise you that this video could’ve been even 10 mins longer with clips from this szn. Believe the eye test you see here, he and jrue holiday are the best screen navigators and on ball guard defenders in the league while also giving u a steady, efficient, and diversified diet of offense to make up the deadliest backcourt duo in the league. I hate to sound like a homer, but this guy right here ever since he’s come into his true role on the team at the beginning of this regular season has me ready to book my hotel in Boston for the parade next year. Still a lot of basketball to play, but Derrick white has been the MVP for the best team in the league so far
I watch the Celtics religiously. Its amazing how high D Whites IQ is. Not only making all the plays defensively that stars just aren't willing or engaged enough to make but also being a calm in the storm offensively. His increased role and the teams dependence on him has been met with exceeding any and all expectations. He's the type of player Boston fans love and respect.
DWhite is just such a steady presence on this team. Give him the touches of a 2nd option and he would put up allstar numbers, but as a role player he is absolutely elite, knows his role to a tee, doesn't demand a ton of touches, plays stellar defense, selfless, high IQ player
No he wouldn't you delshional dumbass he shot every shot wide open he plays with 2 all nba players and 2 all stars no he wouldn't do a second option he literally played for his whole career and didnt do shit
He's starting to remind me alot of Ron Harper, in the defensive transition combo guard role that he played with Chicago in the late 1990's...🏀✨ Scary part is Derrick White has a much larger part in the Celtics offense than Harper had in Chicago with the Bulls
KP calls D White the "perfect teammate", that's exactly who he is. He always knows what to do. D White + Holiday, best guards combo for the Celtics in recent years. They are both calm, silent, smart but super efficient.
No he isnt he sent better than forst option or second option on a team that's automatically at 60 plus all third options like porjzingus amd shit you derrick white kids are delusional
My boy DW9☘️ is sticky icky icky. He persists like bomb weed, wrecks your for all of 2 1/2hrs. An unsuspected hero like dark wing duck. He's the terror that flaps you every night, Derrick White😅. Seriously though, he's a defensive gem on the C's. ☘️💚
Derrick white is a role player, i already hate all celtics fan cause they like tatum even though he is the most overrated player in the league part of the nbas marketing narrative cause he went ti duke and knew kobe, now hesring derrick white and all star some say derrick white is the second best player, he is a role player playing with two all nba players and two all stars, watch the gamees teams dont cover him everh shit he takes is wode open, its another marcus smart situation for some reason celtics fan just love marginal role players more than jaylen brown a star and top player in the league

Very steady a combination of Ginobili and Jrue Holiday.
Super blocker it takes athleticism to block shots at 6 foot 4
Those are my favorite players don’t use their skills they play the game the right way

The most UNDERRATED player in the league
His "poke steal" is just amazing. One second you have the ball under your control, the next you don't.
All defensive 1st team !

The fact that this is 3 min long shows how great a player d white has become

I believe he's one of the best shot blocking guard in NBA history, at least Top 5.
top 5 all time is nuts
100 percent. A top 5 shot blocking guard in the history of the association . If anyone disagrees.. give me a list of 5 better then D White.
@@JT_for_Three He's only behind MJ and Dwyane Wade probably.
@@willyfan1967Gary Payton ? I know he was “ the glove “ . But did he block a lot of shots?
Just for entertainments sake
Jordan
Dwayne Wade
Manu Ginobili
Russell Westbrook
6th man Michael Cooper...
Aint nothin like a clean defensive player that doesnt use cheap foul baiting, or heck barely fouls out of the game!
White and Jrue are both similar with their reactions. No nonsense, no flops, no trashtalk. Unlike the likes of PatBev, Dillon, Smart, Suggs, Hart etc.

Facts
He's on pace for 100 blocks. I don't think that has been done by a guard before.
Shit Derrick white defensive player of the year incoming
Michael Jordan did it in 1987 & 1988
Finally!! I love this 💪🏾 such great IQ
hes so good all over the court ❤❤❤
Undeniably a top 50 player

lmao!!
The next one should be russ, brodie been surprisingly GOOD defensively this season
Bald Derrick White is just different
1st team 👀 i feel like smart is proud of mans
D white is what everyone wanted lonzo to be for the bulls but better and less ball dominant
Pay this man 🔒
All defensive team
i wanna see him go against luka
He will. I'm sure him and jrue will have fun guarding luka and SGA from okc.
