Joe Mazzulla Endorses Derrick White For All-Star Selection

In their game against the Sacramento Kings, the Boston Celtics emerged victors with a score of 144 and 119 points accumulated. While Derrick White led the team in scoring with 28 points and seven rebounds, he also led the team in rebounding with seven. It was during an interview with NBC Sports Boston that Joe Mazzulla expressed his belief that White ought to be chosen for the All-Star game.

The remark that Mazzulla made was, “He’s an All-Star,” in his own words. He can participate in the game because his teammates are providing him with the freedom, confidence, and empowerment that he needs. We regularly resort to Derrick White’s pick and rolls to bring the team back under control and get to a point where we can execute very well. This is likewise the case when we are attempting to achieve exceptionally high levels of execution.

White has been shooting 49.2 percent from the field and averaging 16.5 points and 5.1 assists per game since the beginning of the season. He has also been averaging 16.5 points per game. He is the leader for the Celtics in terms of total steals, and he is in second place for total blocks. He is also the leader in terms of total blocks.

Even though there is a compelling case for White to take part in the 2018 All-Star Game of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it is quite probable that White will be overlooked due to the notoriety of his professional teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Several other guards in the league, including as Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, will be able to take advantage of the fact that they have access to a top-scoring option.
