Former North Carolina guard Coby White is starting to hit his stride in a big way for the Chicago Bulls. After signing an extension to stay in Chicago this past offseason, White is getting the chance to start in his fifth season and is making the most of it.
Over a five-game stretch in which the Bulls are 4-1, White is averaging 25 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game He’s also shooting 50 percent from the field and 54 percent from the three-point line.
White has been starting in the backcourt and with Zach LaVine missing those five games, he’s really taken advantage which is a great thing.

White has had his struggles at times in his first four years with the Bulls and was even coming off the bench for Billy Donovan’s team. However, it looks like he’s improved his shooting and overall consistency which is a great thing for the future.
