Derrick White’s impact on the Boston Celtics so far this season has been nothing less than instrumental to the ball club’s success and rise to the top of the league standings, transforming the Celtics into a formidable force in the Association. White’s contributions to Boston have some very wise basketball minds advocating for the Colorado native’s case for consideration in the NBA’s 2024 All-Star Game.

White’s role has evolved since the team has traded for star Latvian big man Kristaps Porzingis, allowing him more offensive responsibility, especially as a playmaker in pick-and-roll situations.

One of those wise basketball minds is former NBAer and host of the popular “Old Man and the 3” podcast JJ Redick.

Hear his case for White in the 2024 All-Star Game in the clip embedded above.
