There are few, if any, guards in the NBA that make as much of an impact on the defensive end as Derrick White does for the Celtics.
On Saturday, White somehow dug deeper into his bag of tricks defensively.
In the second quarter of Saturday night’s Celtics-Suns clash, Derrick White found himself one-on-one against Royce O’Neale in transition. White was looking for the block, and jumped to his left to contest the layup when it looked like O’Neale was heading up.
Instead, O’Neale went across White’s body to the left, making what appeared to be a perfect play to secure an easy bucket at the rim.
