Strengths

Derrick White is a very versatile combo guard with plenty to like in his game, particularly on offense.

White can score in a number of ways. He is very comfortable in the pick-and-roll where his combination of size, IQ, shooting, and passing makes him very difficult to stop. He has a great feel for the game, understands how to change speeds, and knows when to shoot and when to distribute.
