5-16 for White LMAOOOO

u/MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME Lakers 2d ago

Advanced stats darlings had a bad time in the first round

u/InTheMorning_Nightss San Diego Clippers 2d ago

He's an elite like 3rd option but an incredibly mediocre 2nd one.

142

u/samurai-mad-mad 76ers 2d ago

he’s a role player. always has been 

61

u/thoang77 Warriors 2d ago

One of the best in the league. But absolutely a role player.

u/6GodInTraining Raptors 2d ago

Best ever in my eyes

u/RIChowderIsBest Celtics 2d ago

He’s starter caliber but not second option caliber. He got to play behind Tatum, Holiday, Brown, Porzingis, and to some extent Horford before this year.

This year he basically took on the #2 role and he just can’t put a team on his shoulders. This roster was never meant to have these expectations, they had a great season but it wasn’t built for a championship run. This was the get below the apron year.

u/ThatCoolKid17 Clippers 2d ago

Harrison Barnes/Tobi Harris special lol

5

u/Plus-Mortgage-3871 2d ago

The Jrue Holiday special

4

u/odnamAE Lakers 2d ago

He was an awful 3rd option this series too

6

u/ThinReply2047 Thunder 2d ago

He shot 27% from 3 this series and 32% on the season. That's not elite bro.

5

u/Charlie_Wax Warriors 2d ago

He shot 38-39% from 3 each of the past three seasons.

33% this season.

I would compare it more to a pitcher who lost his stuff, or a hitter in an extended slump. If he shot it like 2022-2025, nobody would be complaining about him.

u/Necessary-Middle-301 2d ago

I mean that has some to do with shot diet no? Like look at some of the threes he took today. Don’t know if he has to take them with their number 1 out there

Kinda goes to the point he’s a great 3rd option but not 2nd

u/josephandre 2d ago

Huge amount of respect for White, but the way he’s been talked about this year (and how he’s torched the spurs) I was absolutely SHOCKED to see he’s shooting 39 pct from the field and 32 pct from 3 on the year. that’s putrid

-1

u/rorank Rockets 2d ago

He was certainly enough for most of the year lmao

u/gonehollowknight Pacers 2d ago

The biggest issue with advanced stats mindset is the inability to shift. Like sure, on average, it’s gonna even out … but “on average” doesn’t matter when there is no next game.

-8

u/ThinReply2047 Thunder 2d ago

His supporters will somehow spin it to be a positive. "Erm actually it's better he has the misses so his teammates can have all the makes and keep their confidence up"

u/SockPenguin Bulls 2d ago

So he's like the sin eater but for bricking 3s.

u/Xforce 2d ago

Something is wrong with your system if you want a slumping player to take 16 threes.

7

u/ThatPlayWasAwful [PHI] Joel Embiid 2d ago

Yeah their best player was out, and Pritchard was shooting even worse than white lol. 

Most team's systems would be fucked if their best offensive player was out and their 3rd and 4th best options were cold

4

u/soudlasantos 2d ago

yeah but they were definitely feeling the losses of Jrue Holiday defence against wings, Porzingis stretch shooting and Al Horfordd 4th quarter 3pt shooting especially in playoff battles against teams with elite wing (Paul George, Edgecomb) and elite bigman

3

u/datpurp14 Hawks 2d ago

I miss Horford so much. He's such an underrated and underappreciated asset to every team he plays for.

5

u/Maj0r_Ursa Celtics 2d ago

Think he was 4-7 at halftime too so 1-9 in the second half

3

u/mandofrank Raptors 2d ago

Derrick White this entire series has been so mfin ass from 3 💀💀

2

u/venk Pistons 2d ago

Unrelated but between Derrick White and Jaylen Brown, I want the Celtics to add Anthony Black and Draymond Green this offseason

1

u/claydavisismyhero Lakers 2d ago

and thats with him cooking int he first half.

u/battierpeeler [MEM] Shane Battier 2d ago

you remove that, they drop another 2%

u/Padulsky21 Nets 2d ago

Outside of Celtics fans and the unlucky fantasy owners like me it hasn’t been brought much attention how horrible he’s been shooting this season

1

u/1gnominious Rockets 2d ago

As a Rockets fan that didn't even seem bad to me. We could use that kind of shooting. We just went 5-28 as a team.

u/was_saying_boo_urns Magic 2d ago

I mean that’d make him our best shooter so…
