Derrick White Team USA
Derrick White, fresh off a championship win with the Boston Celtics, has been named to the national team. This will be his first Olympic appearance, and he brings a wealth of experience after seven seasons in the NBA. White’s defensive prowess, averaging over 15 points and 5 assists a game last season, makes him a valuable addition.
