To me White has that Draymond-like impact for them where he's not the most talented, skilled, or would stand out nearly as much on a bad team but his impact on Boston is huge.

You have to factor in that less is expected of him for sure, he's going to draw a lesser defender than Brown most nights, he doesn't have Brown's size, but I feel like he does almost everything on the floor better than Brown does and does it much more consistently, he's the perfect glue guy for them.

Can’t even front, I feel like part of his hype also has something to do with where he plays at. That Celtic brand is strong, just like the Lakers brand.

Anyway, I hope that franchise actually accomplishes something besides just beating up on teams in the regular season. Last time they won a championship, we were rocking button up shirts with jeans in the club 🥱

Even if it wasn't Celtics/Lakers brand it's still largely because of where he plays because he wouldn't have the same value on a bad team. He's very much of the mold of Draymond, Ben Wallace, Dennis Rodman type in that sense. He's much more skilled than any of them, he's a 50/40/90 guy, but he's not going to be a star on a bad team is my point. He needs stars around him and he will compliment them better than 99% of other role players will.

I feel like he was much the same for San Antonio but at the time he couldn't really shoot. Now that he can, I mean he doesn't really have a flaw. Can get you 15-20 a night as a 3rd/4th option, 3:1 a/tov ratio, shoots 50/40/90 (technically 49/42/89 right now) plays elite defense, blocks more shots as a guard than Jordan/Wade did, and for the second year in a row now has been their best player in terms of on/off splits.

Personally I felt he was a better player last year, better defender than last year, than Marcus Smart and was part of the reason I was so high on them getting rid of Smart. So it's been a two-year thing for me. Now if Memphis would just do the same lol.
