Had an argument with a friend about this. Who would you rather have on your team? Who is the better 5th player on their respective teams.

As a Celtics fan, if we had last year's version of White in the 2022 Finals, the Celtics likely would have won. In game 4, the Cs were up 2-1 and even had a lead with 5 minutes left. Derrick White, who was ass [offensively] for the Celtics his entire tenure up to that point, was a -19 and was 4/12 from the field. Andrew Wiggins was +20.

So it pains me to say this, but Wiggins showed up when it mattered most and White did not. Wiggins still clears White, but that may not always be the case. White is legit turning into a player literally every team would love to have on their roster.
