"He's one of the most underrated players in the league because he does it on both ends," Spoelstra said about Derrick White, a point guard in the green-and-white team.

White had a solid game against the Heat in the first playoff game, which ended in a 114-94 victory for the Boston team. He contributed to the result by scoring 20 points, pulling 3 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists.

He finished the regular season with averages of 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.
