<\/p>\nHe might not have been able to secure the win vs. the Denver Nuggets for the Boston Celtics by himself this past Wednesday (Feb. 25) night, but Celtics point guard Derrick White has been impressive for Boston this season, and even Nuggets coach David Adelman admitted as much ahead of the tilt his team would win 103-84.<\/p>\n
“One thing he does is he plays the same way every night,” said Adelman of White’s consistency. “And there’s a lot to be said for that. And I think, from the San Antonio (Spurs) days, it’s incredible when he came in the league how much you just went under everything with him. He’s going to drive the ball with his right hand \u2013 that’s what he does.”<\/p>\n

“And he just turned himself into a confident 3-point shooter,” he added. “That makes you have to make a decision nightly because if he does get downhill, he’s so effective.”<\/p>\n

“I think he’s over a block a game for a guard,” continued the Denver coach. “Just a complete basketball player. That trade really worked out for them and he just compliments whoever he plays with so well.”<\/p>\n
“It’s funny he used to be in our gym in the summers and he’s back home playing pickup. And just to see where his career has gone, it’s (made him) a very well-deserved, just a really good all-around basketball player.”<\/p>\n
