Derrick White is being considered as an All-Star candidate for the first time in his career this season, but he thinks his teammates are the ones that helped reach new heights.
The Celtics guard credited Jrue Holiday, particularly, for helping his offensive game grow in an interview on JJ Redick’s “The Old Man and the Three” podcast. When White was asked about the Celtics’ offseason trades, he had similar expectations for himself when they traded for Holiday on the eve of training camp as they did when they traded Marcus Smart in June.
“When Smart got traded, it was a shock,” White said.
