DeMar DeRozan has heaps of praise for Coby White after Bulls win over Pelicans: ‘He was special tonight’

After the Chicago Bulls win over the New Orleans Pelicans, DeMar DeRozan showed love to Coby White.

This Chicago Bulls season has been a disaster. Based on their expectations heading into the year, the Bulls have failed. And they have failed to the point where they are the first teams most people bring up in trade rumors, with Zach LaVine’s name taking the lead in that category.

However, amidst all the struggles the Bulls have dealt with this season, Coby White has been emerging. After taking a massive step back in the rotation last year, White is playing roughly 10 more minutes a night and has improved in nearly every statistical category year over year. The 23-year-old guard is finally coming into his own.
