While the Knicks and Sixers have made significant splashes to upgrade their rosters in hopes of dethroning the defending NBA champions, the Celtics still boast the best top six in the Association.
The latest move was essential to those aspirations, with Boston reportedly agreeing to a four-year, $125.9 million extension with Derrick White, per ESPN's White averaged 15.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in the 2023-24 campaign, which are personal bests. He swiped a steal per game, matching his most in a season, and distributed 5.2 assists. He also knocked down 39.6% of the 6.8 threes he hoisted.He also finished the regular season 15th in defensive win shares, and his 1.2 blocks per contest were the second most by a guard, trailing only six-foot-seven Scottie Barnes, who swatted 1.5 shots per tilt.
