Best of Derrick White with the Boston Celtics in 2024-25
The coming 2025-26 NBA regular season could very well be the best season yet for Boston Celtics point guard Derrick White. The University of Colorado native could have the best campaign of his eight-season career to date with the Celtics having dealt away vet guard Jrue Holiday as part of several moves that Boston's front office made to get ahead of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s dreaded second apron penalties. But last season, White was already very good for the Celtics, putting up career-highs in points (16.4 per game), rebounds (4.5 per game), and blocks (1.1 per game) while logging 4.8 assists and just under a steal per game. He also shot 44.2% from the floor overall, 38.4% from beyond the arc, and 83.9% from the free throw line. The folks behind the official "Boston Celtics" YouTube channel put together a clip of the best of White's play from 2024-25 for us to watch while we wait for the start of next season.

Derrick White Gets Real on the Boston Celtics Offseason Moves
When a team begins retooling the roster, we always think about how those changes are going to impact the on-court product and what the viewing experience is going to be like. We seldom wonder what impact it's going to have in the locker room, as players lose close friends and suddenly have a new group of personalities to integrate into the ecosystem. That's exactly the position the Boston Celtics roster has found itself in this summer. Out went Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet, and (likely) Al Horford. In came Anfernee Simons, Luka Garza, Josh Minott, Hugo Gonzalez, Amari Williams and Max Shulga. That's a significant amount of turnover for one summer and will undoubtedly change the dynamic behind the scenes. In the debut episode of his "White Noise" podcast, Derrick White provided some insight into what it means for a player when one or more of their teammates get traded, and how players move forward despite the surrounding upheaval. White also shared his thoughts on his former teammates and the bond they all shared after winning a championship together. You can watch the full segment by clicking on the embedded video above.

How Derrick White handled being traded to the Boston Celtics
Since joining the Boston Celtics, Derrick White has developed into one of the most reliable guards in the NBA — on both sides of the ball. Not only has White proven himself to be among the best two-way guards in the NBA, but he's also emerged as a vital piece of Joe Mazzulla's rotation. However, before White teamed up with the Celtics and then head coach Ime Udoka, he was learning from Gregg Popovich with the San Antonio Spurs. White was slowly proving himself on the rebuilding Western Conference roster. However, the front office decided to swap him for Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, a 2022 first-round draft pick and a 2028 pick swap. During the debut episode of his "White Noise" podcast, White discussed the range of emotions that he navigated after finding out the Spurs had decided to trade him. He also spoke about the acclimation process, both to his new team and a new city. You can watch the full segment by clicking on the embedded video above.
