Derrick White on First Career TRIPLE DOUBLE in Celtics Win vs Pistons Postgame Interview

Derrick White on First Career TRIPLE DOUBLE in Celtics Win vs Pistons Postgame Interview

Questions for Derek Derek it took a couple of minutes but you got your first triple double what’s it uh what was that like going through those that clearly you were trying to get that that final assist but um what’s it like to get your first triple double yeah um I’m not usually

One that tries to like Chase stats or whatnot but I mean I seen that I was one away we last seen I was two away and um I mean that’s probably why I had those three turnovers there at the end but um I mean you can only have been

Close a lot of time so I was like I’m going to try to get it this time and I mean I just got to shout out to my teammates for real we’re joking obviously you heard the jokes with Payton um him being the guy that that

That got you that last one after Oregon beat Colorado um there’s the least he could do for me do do you want to take opportunity to uh let us in on what the was there a wager on this or on that game uh there there was a

Couple dollars exchanged um I I was extremely confident going into that game um but it was a it was a a good game credit to Oregon obviously but like I said we’re both in the tournament and I think we going to make a run here so let’s go

Buffs Derek uh in that timeout before you ended up getting the triple double you were shaking your head figured that Joe probably pull you at that point what did you say to Joe or what did he say to you to convince you to stay out there and get that last

Shot U I was really to Shak him my head cuz I turned it over um those two times and he was like you going to have like a minute to to get it so um went out there and shout out to Payton for I knew Payton and SP they’ they’d figure

Something out and get a good look and he knocked it down then your whole thing is not stat padding so how did it feel to be a stat patter for like 2 minutes there it was weird I didn’t like it and I didn’t play too good doing it so I got

To not do that ever again hopefully uh hey Derek down the stretch here when you get these games where some guys are sitting out you’re playing with different groups what are you seeing from some of these I mean Joe calls him the Stay Ready group um you know Jaden

Springer coming in making the extra passes crashing the glass saier toing on the you know perimeter defense like what are you noticing from some of those guys in the courtt who you don’t usually play with yeah I mean especially those two guys who just got on the team and um

They’re trying to figure it all out um all that once I mean X does a great job of switching on anybody and just moving his feet keeping guys in front of him um not just today but he’s been doing that for every time he’s been in there and

Then jayen just always ready and just what two blocks and just flying around out there and um I mean I remember when we played against him in the preseason he was he was playing like that that hard so it’s nice to have him on our

Team and just the way he competes but I mean everybody on this team works so hard um with the coaching staffs behind the scenes and playing in the the games on off days and like just staying ready and um we got a lot of confidence and and respect for everybody on this roster

And what are some of your conversations like with those guys like excuse me what are you telling them like the new guys but also like s and OA like those guys trying to learn what they need to do when they get on the court for these limited minutes like what are those

Conversations like I me first of all they’re just amazing people um O’Shea I mean he’s probably the first one up every time on the bench and just cheering you on so um every time you in there you just want them to to play their game um do it do whatever they do

Best and I mean obviously spe comes in and he makes shots he he spaces the floor and I mean just those two guys you brought them up are just great are big for our team um and it’s great to see them get minutes and helping help us win

Games Derek your reputation as somebody that’s professional and likes to give things up for the team how important is that to you and how nice is it that your teammates talk about you that way uh I mean it means a lot um this is

A team game and um I just want to go out there and help us win games uh that’s really what I’m focus on and we got amazing guys top to bottom that you want to go out and compete with that you want to play with and uh I’m just thankful

And grateful to be part of this organization and with this team Derek during your uh during your postgame interview who did you see first coming with the water and at what point did you notice I seen Luke and they they did it too early they hadn’t even asked

A question yet so I was still a little bit observant but Luke is not the the sneakiest person in the world thankfully and just as a followup I want to ask you um what’s it like for you playing with Luke and KP out there at

The same time I mean those are two big dudes 71 72 yeah yeah I mean um a lot of size to start the game and I don’t know how how much minutes they’ve played together but I mean that just shows kp’s versatility of uh you can really play

Him with Smalls you play him with bigs and you can just do a little bit of everything and and Luke is just the constant for us every year every game every every time he’s out there you know what to expect from Luke and um he just

Does so many little things for us to to help us win games and so um I think it it was a little different having them both out there and uh it was it was a a good lineup for us thanks you also registered your 5,000th career point tonight to go from playing collegiately

At a place that’s never produced an NBA player to where you are now what are you most proud of about your journey I know just just a lot of hard work um I mean shout out UCCS for kind of giv giv me the keys as a freshman um

Made a lot of mistakes there which helped me grow and um learn a lot so um I think from that moment when when they kind of gave me the keys as a freshman um allowed me to just continue to gain confidence learn grow and um I think

That’s what I’m probably most proud of is I just never stopped learning and growing thank you
