Derrick White had a challenging shooting season last year, hitting only 32.7% of his three-pointers and 39.4% from the floor, yet he excelled in advanced metrics, ranking high in net rating and defensive contributions. With Jayson Tatum’s return, expectations are that White’s shooting will improve, alleviating some pressure from his role as a secondary scorer. Although concerns about his age and shooting persist, analysts believe he can bounce back and regain his confident offensive form. The Celtics need White to perform at a higher level to remain contenders, as his ability to impact winning extends beyond his shooting percentages.
