In the fifth of NBC Sports Chicago’s series reviewing the main rotational players’ seasons, Coby White authored perhaps his best all-around season despite posting career-low averages.
74 games, 23.4 minutes per game, 9.7 points per game, 2.9 rebounds per game, 2.8 assists per game, 44.3 FG%, 37.2 3PT%White and the Bulls didn’t agree on a rookie contract extension by last Fall’s deadline, making White a restricted free agent this offseason.White posted 19 points, nine assists, four rebounds and two steals in the Bulls’ road victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on March 24.
After stating in training camp how much he worked on his ball-handling and defense, White more fully earned coach Billy Donovan’s trust as the season progressed. Donovan paid White his highest compliment of the season following the aforementioned Portland game, saying “he’s really evolving into a two-way player.”
But White no longer solely played the feast-or-famine role of reserve scorer. His playmaking, decision-making and finishing at the rim all improved at the offensive end. Defensively, opponents no longer hunted for his matchup.
