On Monday, Derrick White played in his 4th exhibition game as a member of the U.S. Men’s National Basketball Team, an 84-68 victory over Canada. He didn’t play much, as he’s still behind Kemba Walker, Donovan Mitchell and Marcus Smart in the rotation, but he played well. More importantly, just like everywhere else he’s been, the team looked better with him on the court.
It’s hard to believe it was just over 16 months ago that Derrick played his last game in the G League, on April 10th, 2018, as he helped the Austin Spurs win the G League championship.
