Can i even identify my glorious precious majestic Derrick White as a role player?
This is tough ngl, but I’m gonna have to go with Cornbread. He was way before my time, but I think his body of work for the Cs eclipses that of the great role players I grew up watching in House, Posey, Cassell etc. So it’s gotta be Maxwell.
Recency bias, but I really feel like Dwhite is the ultimate role player. He seriously just compliments anyone he plays with perfectly
D White
Dwhite or Jrue if you consider him a roleplayer
I pick Tony Allen. Fuckin clamps man.
“DJ” Dennis Johnson
Ainge?
If 1986 Bill Walton counts, that’s the pick for me
John Havlicek
Depends
Probably Don Nelson
Bill Walton
