However, they failed to make it to the playoffs when they lost to the Miami Heat in game number two. There were still some positives to take away from the season, and one of those positives was Coby White.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-guard-coby-white-was-this-close-to-winning-most-improved-player-award-vs-tyrese-maxey">Coby White had an</a> outstanding season for the Bulls and he has emerged as one of the best players on the team. He had his best season in terms of scoring and his numbers went way up from the year prior. In fact, he was extremely close to winning Most Improved Player this season. Tyrese Maxey ended up winning the award, but it was close.</p><p>The race for Most Improved Player was really only between Maxey and White, and Maxey barely won it. He finished with a total of 319 points after voting, and White finished with 305. The next closest was Alperen Sengun who finished with 92 points.</p><p>During the 2022-23 season, Coby White averaged 9.7 PPG, 2.9 RPG and 2.8 APG. He shot 44.3% from the field and 37.2% from deep. <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4395651/coby-white" rel="noopener">His numbers went up</a> quite a bit this past season.</p><p>White averaged 19.1 PPG this season, 4.5 RPG and 5.1 APG. His shooting percentages were pretty similar, but they still went up as he shot 44.7% from the field and 37.6% from three.</p><p>This was a huge season for White as he was one of the best players on the Bulls, and he became a guy that can go and get the team a bucket when they need it most. Chicago needs players like that, and they had that with White last season. So, where does White go from here to continue on this upward trend?</p><h2>Next steps for Coby White</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Coby-White.jpg"><figcaption>© Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Coby White just finished up the best season of his career, and he wants to be able to keep that momentum going. We did see later in the season once White emerged as a serious scoring threat, teams started to guard him differently, and it was difficult for him. He wasn’t quite as consistent when he started to get better defenders on him, and he had some slumps. However, he did a good job of adjusting and finding new ways to score. Adjusting is going to be key for him if he is going to continue to find success.</p><p>Teams are going to continue to throw their best defenders at White next season, and he has to be ready for that. The next step for Coby White is to maintain the growth that he went through last year and consistently be one of the best players on the Bulls for years to come. He showed last season that he can do that.</p><p>This offseason should be a big one for White. He showed the ability to quickly adjust on the fly last season as his role changed, and now he has a whole offseason to prepare for this role that is still very new to him. White is going to be an exciting player to watch next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

White’s improvement was not lost on his peers, as he received <a href="https://www.bleachernation.com/bulls/2024/04/22/multiple-bulls-player-poll/">votes for ‘most underrated player’</a> according to an unofficial NBA players poll recently.</p><p>On Tuesday, the NBA’s official Public Relations account on Twitter shared <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1782910446015500796">the latest news</a>: White finished second in the NBA’s Most Improved Player voting, a welcome honor for a player who has long been overlooked.</p><p>White’s incredible distinction came during a week in which Chicago was eliminated from the Play-In Tournament after a blowout loss to the Miami Heat, a loss that prompted <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-most-blame-brutal-play-loss-heat">a placing of the blame</a> by national news media. A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-bulls-recently-made-80-million-demar-derozan-contract-offer">DeMar DeRozan contract offer</a> was also announced as part of a flurry of Bulls news leading up to the first round of the NBA Playoffs.</p><h2><b>White, Maxey Headline Top Vote-Getters</b></h2><p>Two young players with bright present-day talents and bright futures were among the top vote-getters, as shared on X, with Maxey bringing home the coveted award this season. The full graphic was shared with White falling just 14 points short of Maxey’s pace-setting finish.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The complete voting results for the 2023-24 Kia NBA Most Improved Player. <a href="https://t.co/JzZ4GBsrnL">pic.twitter.com/JzZ4GBsrnL</a></p><p>— NBA Communications (@NBAPR) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1782910446015500796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 23, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The 6-foot-5, 195 pound White averaged 19.1 points per game while shooting nearly 45% from the field. His smooth and joyful all-around game along with his throwback hairstyle had fans thinking of 1970s basketball as White glided, sliced and diced his way through even the best NBA defenses en route to a promising season for Coach Billy Donovan’s Chicago Bulls.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Coby-layup-.jpg"><figcaption>Apr 19, 2024; Miami, Florida, USA; Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (16) blocks a shot against Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (0) in the second quarter during a play-in game of the 2024 NBA playoffs at Kaseya Center.

Both departures from Billy Donovan’s staff are expected to pursue other opportunities following the Bulls’ relatively unsuccessful season.</p><p>Now, the offseason task for Billy Donovan and the Bulls’ staff has become clear. Chicago must continue to build around White, Ayo Dosunmu, Patrick Williams and the rest of the team’s young talents while doing their best to keep DeRozan in a Chicago uniform.</p><p>Chicago has the makings of a talented, playoff caliber roster, but it’s going to be an uphill climb as only three of Chicago’s current top scorers are 25 or younger and the team still lacks a bonafide top 50 player outside of DeRozan to carry Donovan’s team into the first round and beyond next year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

White would say the same thing when talking about their upcoming opponents, talking about the team’s famed “culture” and how without Butler, they will <a href="https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news/bulls-respect-heat-with-or-without-jimmy-butler/555779/" rel="noopener">“play hard”</a> and how “they always keep coming and bringing energy” according to NBC Sports Chicago.</p><p>“They have a culture,” White said. “Whoever steps up in his spot, they’re not going to bring everything he does because he’s an All-Star. But Miami is one of those teams that when you play them, you know what to expect. They play hard. They play physical. They don’t quit. They always keep coming and bringing energy.”</p><p>White was not the only player that talked highly of the Heat as Bulls star Ayo Dosunmu brought up the style of play they embrace which is mucking up the game and making it physical. He scored 19 points in the win as he brought up the potential full circle moment as Miami beat Chicago last season in the second play-in game.</p><p>“We know what they do,” Dosunmu said. “We know how physical the play. Both teams are hungry for a spot in the playoffs. We know last year we came up short. Now we have another opportunity. We’re going to embrace that and try to make that happen.”</p><p>There’s no doubt that Butler is a highly respected player in the NBA as even Bulls star DeMar DeRozan said that “it sucks to see anybody get hurt.” The 34-year old scored 22 points, recorded nine assists, and collected six rebounds in the play-in game win where the team is trying to get the eighth seed.</p><h2><b>Bulls have their own injury problem with Alex Caruso</b></h2><p>As the Heat deal with their own injury problems with Butler and even with point guard Terry Rozier who has missed the last five games, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-alex-caruso-teases-status-vs-heat-despite-significant-injury">the Bulls also are dealing with</a> the potential absence of Alex Caruso. Being in about the same boat, Caruso praised Butler and his competitiveness after the game.</p><p>“He’s one of the great competitors this league has,” Caruso said. “He turns this time of year into his time. If he can’t go, that would be a big loss for them because he’s kind of the head of the snake, the heartbeat for them. But they still have plenty of talented and capable guys who can play. Obviously, whether he’s in or out will change a little bit for us what we do. But still respect the Miami Heat and what they bring.”</p><p>Adrian Wojnarowksi of ESPN said that Caruso has a “<a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1780817690489426349" rel="noopener">significant left ankle sprain</a> and his availability vs. Miami on Friday with the 8th-seed on the line is in doubt.” When asking the man himself about his availability, every ounce of him wants to play, but his body will be the ultimate decider according to Scotty White, ClutchPoints’ Bulls reporter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso has a “significant” left ankle sprain and his availability vs. Miami on Friday with the 8th-seed on the line is in doubt, source tells ESPN.

My mindset is to play until my body tells me that I can’t. Hopefully we can use a little bit of that experience and go in, take care of business,” Caruso said. “We’ve played close games with them just about every year I’ve been here at their place. We know what to expect.”</p><h2><b>Looking at White’s electric performance for Chicago</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-coby-white-demar-derozan-break-down-play-in-win-vs-hawks">White is coming off of a</a> career-night as he led the Bulls by scoring 42 points off of making 15 out of 21 shots from the field to go with nine rebounds and six assists. Having been selected with the seventh overall pick in 2019 out of the University of North Carolina, he’s had an interesting postseason career so far <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/coby-whites-42-point-performance-in-play-in-tournament-showed-why-he-should-win-most-improved-player/" rel="noopener">which was a motivation</a> for White according to CBS Sports.</p><p>“I’m just grateful to be where I’m at,” White said. “That first playoff series I ever had in my career didn’t go how I wanted it to go, and then last year I played better in the play-in, and then this year — I just wanted to be aggressive and take what the defense gave me, and just try to lead. Coming into the game, I want to impact winning on both ends of the ball, and that’s what I focus on. And tonight, I was just aggressive and things were going my way.”</p><h2><b>Billy Donovan said White played a “complete game”</b></h2><p>Bulls head coach Billy Donovan talked about White after his masterful performance and said besides the high scoring number, he had a “really complete game.” He would focus on his defense, his passing, his energy, among other aspects that White helped Chicago to victory.</p><p>“I thought he played a really complete game, I know the number, 42 [points] is a huge number, and it’s phenomenal, but I thought he played a really complete game,” Donovan said. “I thought he defended, I thought he assisted, I thought he got downhill, made the game easy for the guys, I thought it was a great performance by him.”</p><p>As Caruso mentioned, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-heat-nba-play-in-prediction-odds-pick-how-to-watch-4-19-2024">the Bulls and Heat have</a> had close games throughout the regular season leading the series record deadlocked at 2-2. Something has to give as this time as it’s a “win or go home” situation where the winner gets the eighth seed and the Boston Celtics and the loser is sent home as the contest will be Friday in Miami.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Wednesday night, White showed just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-zach-lavine-drops-special-reaction-to-coby-white-michael-jordan-esque-play-in-game">how far he has come</a>. In a 131-116 win over the Atlanta Hawks that gives the Bulls a chance to make the playoffs as the eight-seed, the fifth-year guard out of UNC scored his most-ever points in a single game in his professional career, dropping 42 points on a stellar 15-21 shooting from the field.</p><p>White is only 24 years old, and for him to show this kind of improvement bodes well for his and the Bulls’ future together. In fact, White has gotten to the point where he’s evoking Jalen Brunson comparisons — with a reporter reminding the Bulls guard of <a href="https://twitter.com/byjuliapoe/status/1780831313748001226" rel="noopener">the expletive he used</a> to describe the New York Knicks star.</p><p>“Yeah I called [Brunson] a motherf**ker. I don’t know what they saying but I hope so [that the opposing players are saying the same thing about me],” White said in a hilarious exchange during his postgame presser, per Julia Poe, Bulls reporter for the Chicago Tribune.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Q: Do you remember what you said about Jalen Brunson?</p><p>Coby: “Yeah I called him a motherfucker.”</p><p>Q: Do you think opposing players are saying the same thing about you now?</p><p>Coby: “I hope so.” <a href="https://t.co/jVypKQfewH">pic.twitter.com/jVypKQfewH</a></p><p>— Julia Poe (@byjuliapoe) <a href="https://twitter.com/byjuliapoe/status/1780831313748001226?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 18, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Indeed, no Hawks player will soon forget how unforgiving Coby White was to their defense on Wednesday; White was electric, pulling up from multiple feet from beyond the arc while getting to the rim at will. The 2023-24 season has been White’s coming out party, making the Bulls’ future outlook less bleak than it looked amid their continued refusal to trade their veteran “star” trio.</p><h2><b>Why did Coby White use an expletive to describe the Knicks star?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Knicks-guard-Jalen-Brunson-11-defends-Chicago-Bulls-guard-Coby-White.jpg"></figure><p>Jalen Brunson has played at a superstar level all throughout the 2023-24 season, but his game has exploded to the next level with the season-ending injury to Julius Randle. During the Bulls’ April 9 meeting against the Knicks, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-coby-white-praises-jalen-brunson-after-monster-performance-chicago">Brunson put up 45 points</a> on 54.2 percent shooting from the field, adding eight rebounds as well in a 128-117 win for New York.</p><p>In the end, all Coby White could do during his postgame presser was to tip his hat towards Brunson, calling him a very bad man <a href="https://twitter.com/byjuliapoe/status/1777894602348892212" rel="noopener">using some very colorful language</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Coby White on tonight’s loss: “We did some really dumb stuff tonight. … We gotta get our shit together for sure.”</p><p>Did not want to focus on Torrey Craig or the flubbed dunk.</p><p>Also praised the Knicks both for their team identity and individual talent: “Brunson’s a motherfucker.” <a href="https://t.co/FZVWvZjdwb">pic.twitter.com/FZVWvZjdwb</a></p><p>— Julia Poe (@byjuliapoe) <a href="https://twitter.com/byjuliapoe/status/1777894602348892212?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Bulls and Knicks, more likely than not, won’t be meeting again this season, unless Chicago channel their inner 2023 Miami Heat and meet New York in a rather improbable Eastern Conference Finals matchup. Thus, fans will have to wait until later this year before seeing these two guards go head-to-head yet again.</p><h2><b>The Bulls guard to follow the Jalen Brunson breakout route?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bulls-guard-Coby-White-0-gestures-after-making-a-three-point-basket.jpg"></figure><p>Heading into the 2021-22 season, only the most diehard of Jalen Brunson fans thought that he’d emerge into anything more than a high-caliber starter in today’s NBA. Brunson played such a small role during the Dallas Mavericks’ 2021 first-round exit against the Los Angeles Clippers, and no one batted an eye when he began the 2021-22 campaign in a bench role.</p><p>Alas, following an injury to Kristaps Porzingis, Brunson began to emerge as more than just a quality starter. He then broke out as a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-jj-redicks-puzzling-jalen-brunson-giannis-antetokounmpo-mvp-voting-decision">full-fledged star</a> during the 2022 NBA playoffs, and he has done nothing but improve since signing a huge contract with the Knicks in free agency.</p><p>For Coby White, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-coby-white-agrees-to-3-year-33-million-contract2023-nba-free-agency">contract he signed</a> this past offseason (three-year, $33 million) was indicative of his standing within the franchise. He was an improving player, and he was named as the starter to begin the year, but he was largely expected to take a backseat to the Bulls’ trio of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic.</p><p>Alas, LaVine has been out for the majority of the season, opening up an opportunity for White to command a ton of usage. As a result, White’s numbers improved across the board. He averaged 9.4 more points, flashed an improved all-around game, and was more confident all around.</p><p>Jalen Brunson was 25 when he burst onto the scene as a star for the Mavericks. Coby White, if he continues his trajectory of improvement, could soon hear from his peers that he, indeed, is a “motherf**ker” (in a good way, of course).</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
