The quiet part out loud: what Brad Stevens trading Marcus Smart says about Derrick White

There’s a lot of memorable moments from this past Celtics season. It’s just a shame the NBA cancelled the season right before Game 7 against the Heat and we never got to see how that one played out. My money was on the Nuggets though.

One of the more fun stretches of the season, though, was Derrick White: starting point guard.

On January 23rd, Marcus Smart missed his first of about three weeks of games due to injury. Derrick White seized his opportunity as the lead guard of the Celtics so thoroughly, it would make Robin Williams proud (from Dead Poets Society — not to be confused with the movie Seize the Day — which he also starred in).
