Derrick White
The connective tissue of Boston's roster and one of the most underrated guards in basketball — an All-Defensive First Team pick who finished sixth in Defensive Player of the Year voting. He's a 91st-percentile rim protector for a guard who blocks 1.3 a game, a high-feel playmaker (87th percentile, 5.4 assists) who almost never coughs it up, and a knockdown 90% free-throw shooter. The only soft spot is finishing through traffic inside.
