By now most fans and analysts are starting to see the vision behind why Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens traded veteran shooting guard Josh Richardson and wing Romeo Langford for San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White, with his passing, defense, and even shooting helping the team continue its league-longest winning streak.
