Since joining the Boston Celtics midway through the 2021-22 season, Derrick White has developed into one of Joe Mazzulla’s most important players. White’s two-way production has become a staple in Mazzulla’s front court, so much so that he’s finished in the top-10 of Defensive Player of the Year voting for the past two straight seasons.
Furthermore, White has also improved his perimeter game, where he shot 38.4% from deep on 9.1 attempts per game in his latest campaign. Couple that with his shot-blocking, playmaking and all-around impact, it’s clear why he’s seen as a core piece to the Celtics’ next championship puzzle.
White had multiple memorable outings last season, and some even more memorable moments. If you want to re-live them, the “MacaMillion711” YouTube channel recently posted a nine-minute highlight reel of White’s 2024-25 season, including some of his best chase-down blocks and dagger threes.
You can watch the full highlight reel by clicking on the embedded video above.
