Boston Celtics Receive: C Dwight Powell, F/C Maxi Kleber 

Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Derrick White 

One thing we all need is the recognition we deserve. Sometimes, we simply don’t receive it. 

That holds true for NBA players as well. Some players get the credit they deserve. On the other hand, some are chronically underrated. Typically, we’re talking about non-stars. 

Derrick White is one such player. He may not be a superstar, but he’s a solid player who contributes in a number of areas. White is a strong defender, a capable ball-handler and playmaker, and a good shooter. 

Meanwhile, Maxi Kleber may be even more underrated. Casual fans don’t necessarily even know his name.
