When the Celtics acquired Derrick White in February, it was fair to wonder how quickly he could acclimate into Ime Udoka’s system and to debate whether or not he would move them closer toward their ultimate goal.
Though his shooting has been inconsistent, it’s felt as though he’s been with the team for years from a chemistry and flow standpoint. While there are many other factors in play, his ability to fit in seamlessly has been critical in their ascension.
The Celtics are 20-6 since trading for White and have been the best version of themselves ever since the deal.
