Derrick White Angrily terminate contract with Boston Celtics after argument with management
It’s now a career best for White in terms of blocks. In the Celtics’ victory over the Jazz on Tuesday, he ended with three steals, bringing his season total to 79. That exceeded his season-long total of 76. White added later that he still needed to accumulate 17 more regular-season games to reach that mark.
That’s absurd,” remarked White. “I was unaware that I was getting close to that; I didn’t realize that.” Just attempting to be in the proper position and have active hands. I tell them that I have to block shots because I’m a shot-blocker.
White is drawing attention for more reasons than just one statistic. In terms of net rating, plus/minus, blocks by a guard, and offensive rating, he leads the NBA. Therefore, all those additional metrics outside of the counting stats are what people mean when they say that White is an underappreciated player.
White dismissed their successes, praising his teammates instead. However, White has been a darling in analytics for good reason—his two-way play is an essential component of the Celtics’ strategy.
