00:00This is going to pain me because he's a nice player and everybody seems to like him.

00:04Derek White is killing him.

00:06He's awful.

00:07He's broken.

00:08He is a mess.

00:09And so we all love Derek White.

00:10Oh, we love Derek White.

00:12You know what?

00:12They broke him.

00:12Wrong.

00:13We love Derek White when he's the fifth best player on your team.

00:16Yeah.

00:16When he's your second best player, you're screwed.

00:20I thought he was going to be an all-star this year.

00:22I thought he would be 20 plus points per game.

00:24Obviously, you're like, oh, his defense is always going to be there.

00:27But now he's going to be stepping up his rebounds because all your top rebounders from a year ago are gone.

00:32He's going to take a lot of threes, but that's okay because he's going to make a lot of threes.

00:36It's eight games into the season for him.

00:39Horrible.

00:40He's been far and away their most disappointing player.

00:42And I know Peyton Pritchard struggled to shoot from three, but he's trying to help you out in other ways.

00:47I think Derek White has been a disaster.

00:49I'm with you too.

00:49And like Derek White is, I mean, he represented Team USA.

00:54He's a fringy all-star type of player.

00:56He's a all-star.

00:57So, right.

00:58Or like knocking on the door of an all-star.

00:59Yeah, Peyton Pritchard is six man of the year.

01:02I think fans like Peyton Pritchard and there were heightened expectations about Peyton Pritchard,

01:06but I think people knew what Pritchard was.

01:08Yeah, this is, I mean, Derek White looks broken and they broke him.

01:12He took nine field goals last night.

01:14Eight were threes.

01:14Like that ratio is horrible.

01:16He's the worst defender of this out of anybody on the Celtics team.

01:20Yeah, it was actually a better percentage than he has for the season.

01:23I think for the season, he's shooting like 26%.

01:25Oh, on three.

01:26I'm sorry, on his makes.

01:27I just meant, I meant he took eight of his nine field goals low from three.

01:32That's what I mean.

01:32That's just a broken ratio with the team.

01:35Oh, he's now Duncan Robinson.

01:36He's the worst defender of it.

01:38Yeah.

01:38He's Duncan Robinson on offense, but he's not even doing anything more.

01:42He's Duncan Robinson.

01:42He is.

01:43Yeah.

01:43But like, you don't, you need him to be way more than that.

01:46Again, Duncan Robinson, he's like in and out of the lineup in his career.

01:49He's Duncan Robinson.

01:49He'll mix in like a block here and there.

01:51Yeah.

01:51Oh, a block.

01:52He'll get to the block.

01:53Yeah.

01:53People love him.

01:54People love Derek White.

01:56I like him, but he is now miscast and he is the grossest example of how they play basketball.

02:03The 11 out of 51.

02:04Yeah.

02:04And again, he had a better percentage last night than he's had.

02:06Three out of eight isn't horrible.

02:08Eight field goals.

02:09I'm sorry.

02:09Nine field goals and eight of them are threes.

02:11That's horrible.

02:11I'm sorry.

02:12It is.

02:13And he's the worst offender of it on a team where there's a lot of offenders.

02:16And he's the worst of them.

02:34I'm sorry.
