That's an impressive list for White to be on.

It takes incredible instincts to be a good shot-blocking guard.

White isn't viewed as an incredibly high flyer. He just puts himself in the right places at the right times, has great timing, and has solid length and hands.

White's play has been a big reason for the Celtics being in the top-three of the Eastern Conference even with Jayson Tatum not playing this year. If Tatum can get back, this team can be very dangerous.
