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>

Everyone marveled at how he picked apart the Atlanta Hawks’ defense and even prevented some buckets from Trae Young. This notched him a feat that only Michael Jordan has been able to accomplish in the franchise’s history which made Zach LaVine quite proud of <a href="https://twitter.com/ZachLaVine/status/1780811202559680538" rel="noopener">his teammate.</a></p><p>“COBY!!! Special performance @CobyWhite,” Zach LaVine wrote on X after the Bulls won over the Hawks.</p><p>The Bulls have not seen Zach LaVine in action since the 18th of January against the Toronto Raptors. He sprained his ankle which professionals eventually discovered to be a loose bone. It was recommended that he undergo season-ending surgery such that he can play with the Bulls at the start of the 2024-25 season. But, that clearly did not stop him from supporting his team at home.</p><p>The performance from Coby White that he saw has only been done twice in Bulls history. White notched 42 points, nine rebounds, and dropped six assists to join Michael Jordan as the only other player in the franchise to have netted a similar stat line. The fact that he accomplished this while going 15 for 21 on his field goal attempts and missing only one free throw out of 10 shots makes it all the more impressive.</p><p>White will have to maintain these types of performances if the Bulls want to secure a spot in the NBA Playoffs. Hopefully, other members of the squad are able to step up as well.</p><h2><b>Bulls season so far</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Coby-White-1.jpg"><figcaption>© David Banks-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Coach Billy Donovan has struggled with the schemes and rotations that the Bulls are running because of injuries. This made them fall all the way to the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference with their NBA Playoffs hopes in jeopardy. They finished the season with only 39 wins while accruing 43 losses.</p><p>A big reason for the Bulls’ struggles was trying to find their constant identity on both sides of the floor. On offense, this squad only managed to average 112.3 points per contest which was ranked 22nd in the league. Their offensive rating of 114.9 was a little better but it did not move the needle because of their lackluster execution in keeping up their pace. The Bulls had a 96.3 pace which was the third-worst in the league.</p><p>To go deeper, it was the same story on defense as well. They had allowed 113.7 points on a nightly basis which was good for 16th in the league. This netted the Bulls a 116.3 defensive rating which sat at 21st in the league. There was not much that they could do when opponents were hammering them on all levels of scoring.</p><p>But, it looks like a switch might flip come the NBA Playoffs after this <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-atlanta-play-in-loss-bulls-starts-nba-draft-buzz">performance over the Hawks</a>.

Chicago hosted the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night with their season on the line, and they delivered in their biggest game of the season. Coby White dropped a career-high 42 points and led <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-bulls-stun-the-world-making-it-through-2024-nba-play-in-tournament">the Bulls to a</a> 131-116 win. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicago-dealt-injury-blow-ahead-hawks-play-in-clash">Chicago will now take</a> on the Miami Heat on the road on Friday in a rematch of last year’s NBA play-in tournament.</p><p>This season has been a special one for Coby White, and he clearly isn’t <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/game/_/gameId/401654658/hawks-bulls" rel="noopener">ready for it to end</a>. Stats in the play-in tournament don’t count (well, they do in White’s book), but 42 points is the most that he has scored in an NBA game. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan thought that it was an all-around great performance from his budding star.</p><p>“He set the tone getting downhill, we talked about it for a couple days and he did a really good job playing aggressively and going downhill, took his threes when they were there, and made a lot of really good passes to guys,” Billy Donovan told the media after the game. “I thought he played a really complete game. 42 is a huge number, and it’s phenomenal, but I thought he played a really complete game. I thought he defended, I thought he assisted, I thought he got downhill, made the game easy for guys. I thought it was a great performance from him.”</p><p>Another player that had a big game for the Bulls was DeMar DeRozan, and he has also been a huge piece to the puzzle this season. Tonight was more about White, however, and the veteran star liked what he saw.</p><p>“He did alright, he could do a little bit better,” DeMar DeRozan said with a smirk. “No but he led us tonight. We talked before the game, just coming out and being aggressive, try to make a statement early on, and that’s what we did.”</p><h2><b>Coby White wanted to be aggressive from the start</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Coby-White.jpg"><figcaption>© David Banks-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Getting into the paint and being aggressive was a big goal for the Bulls in this game, and Coby White couldn’t have done a better job doing it. He was difficult to defend all night, and he always seemed to make the right choices.</p><p>“We just wanted to play with pace and get downhill,” Coby White said. “…We know that once we attack the paint and get the defense to collapse then we either gotta finish or spray out and just make the right reads. Everybody played a total role.”</p><p>White played so well that the United Center crowd was chanting his name in the fourth quarter. The atmosphere in Chicago was special all night long, and that was ‘dope’ for White to hear.</p><p>“It was a dope moment for that [Coby chants] to happen, I’m thankful for it, I’m thankful for the fans,” White said. “It felt like a playoff vibe, the place was rocking tonight.”</p><p>So about that career-high…that 42-point performance isn’t technically a career-high for White because stats don’t count in the play-in tournament. It counts in his book, though.</p><p>“I’m definitely counting that as my career high,” White said with a laugh. “It’s on the stat sheet right here so.”</p><p>The Bulls are one win away from making it into the playoffs. They will tip off against the Heat at 7:00 ET on Friday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

White didn’t shoot it well from deep, but he was still able to put up 24 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-billy-donovan-reveals-focus-amid-swirling-kentucky-rumors">points for the Bulls</a>. Brunson was on another level on Tuesday, however. He finished the game with 45 points on 13-24 shooting and he was 7-12 from deep. He led the Knicks to a 128-117 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-billy-donovan-honest-zach-edeys-nba-future-after-dominant-season">win over Chicago</a>.</p><p>Jalen Brunson has been magnificent for the Knicks this season, and Tuesday’s performance against the Bulls was a special one. New York is dealing with a lot of injuries right now and they only played eight people on Tuesday. They are going to continue to need performances like that one from Brunson.</p><p>With the postseason looming, Knicks fans are happy to see Brunson have such a good game. He is going to be crucial for their postseason success, and he seems to be finding his stride at the right time.</p><h2><b>Coby White was impressed with Jalen Brunson</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jalen-Brunson-defending-Coby-White.jpg"><figcaption>© David Banks-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Coby White is another player who has had a big year and he has emerged as one of the best players on the Bulls. He was tasked with defending Brunson for much of the night, and he had quite the difficult job. White had a lot of good things to say about Brunson and his performance after the game.</p><p>“He’s just really <a href="https://www.nba.com/bulls/news/bulls-stumble-against-knicks-despite-derozans-34" rel="noopener">good at what he does</a>,” Coby White said, according to an article from NBA.com. “He’s crafty around the rim, knows how to get to his spots, hits contested threes off the dribble and the catch, which is impressive because a lot of guys his stature who always have the ball, for him to relocate shows his high IQ for the game. He gets himself easy opportunities, does a little bit of everything. He’s the engine for that team. They run a lot of stuff for him, but he does a really good job of getting those guys easy looks for threes and involved because he commands so much attention. He’s one of the best guards in the league this year, has been doing it all, especially down the stretch even with them dealing with so many injuries.”</p><p>Don’t be surprised if we see more performances like that from Brunson in the playoffs. He will have to be at his best every night if they are going to find success, and the same goes for White and the Bulls. They know a thing or two about the injury bug as well.</p><p>Both of these teams are shorthanded, but they are both going to playing postseason basketball.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

White is a point guard for the Chicago Bulls. He is a former All-Rookie Second Team player. Let’s take a closer look at Coby White’s net worth in 2024.</p><h2><b>What is Coby White’s net worth in 2024?: $15 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Coby-Whites-net-worth-in-2024-2.jpg"></figure><p><a href="https://wealthygorilla.com/coby-white-net-worth/" rel="noopener">Coby White’s net worth</a> in 2024 is $15 million. This is according to reputable outlets such as Wealthy Gorilla.</p><p>Coby White was born on Feb. 16, 2000, in Goldsboro, N.C. He attended Greenfield High School. Here, White kickstarted his amateur basketball career. As a senior, White averaged 31 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists per game.</p><p>He wrapped up his high school career with a total tally of 3,573 points to become Greenfield High School’s all-time leading scorer. Due to White’s accomplishments, he was named a McDonald’s All-American and North Carolina Mr. Basketball.</p><h2><b>Coby White commits to North Carolina</b></h2><p>Coming out of high school, <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/224165/coby-white" rel="noopener">White was considered</a> to be a five-star recruit by ESPN. As a five-star recruit, White received offers from various college basketball programs. These included Wake Forest, Virginia, Tennessee, Saint Louis, Iowa State, Clemson, and North Carolina. Eventually, White opted to attend North Carolina.</p><p>White became a one-and-done player for the Tar Heels. In his lone season, he averaged 16.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game in 35 games. During that year, the Tar Heels posted a 29-7 record and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. At the Sweet 16, North Carolina lost to No. 5 seed Auburn, 97-80.</p><p>Furthermore, White also knocked down 82 three-pointers, which was enough to break North Carolina’s freshman record for most 3-point field goals. For his efforts, White was named ACC All-Freshman Team and Second Team All-ACC.</p><h2><b>Coby White is drafted by the Bulls</b></h2><p>After just one season with North Carolina, White decided to forego his remaining years of college eligibility by officially declaring for the 2019 NBA Draft. On draft night, the Chicago Bulls selected White with the seventh overall pick. Shortly after, <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/coby-white-31564/transactions/" rel="noopener">White inked</a> a four-year rookie contract worth $24.13 million according to Spotrac.</p><p>In his rookie season, White showed glimpses of his potential. He averaged 13.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game off the bench. For his efforts, White was named to the All-Rookie Second Team. Furthermore, White also finished fifth in the Rookie of the Year race.</p><p>In the following season, White improved his numbers to 15.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. However, the Bulls still finished with a 31-41 record.</p><p>For the 2021-22 season, White averaged 12.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. But more importantly, White played an instrumental role in helping the Bulls make the playoffs for the first time since 2017 after the squad posted a 46-36 record. It was also the first time in five years the Bulls had a non-losing record.</p><p>In his playoff series debut, White produced 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. Unfortunately, the Bulls lost to the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks in five games.</p><p>In the 2022-23 season, White registered the lowest scoring season of his young NBA career at just 9.7 points per game. However, White did improve in other facets of his game by also averaging 2.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 0.7 steals per game.</p><p>Despite the dip, White was slowly <a href="https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-2022-23-season-review-white-grows-at-both-ends/349714/" rel="noopener">evolving</a> to be a legitimate two-way player. Moreover, during the same season, White also became the fastest player in a Bulls uniform to register 500 career 3-point field goals, according to <a href="https://www.nba.com/bulls/news/chuck-checks-in-02-01-23" rel="noopener">reports</a>.</p><h2><b>Contract extension with the Bulls</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">OFFICIAL: We reached an agreement with Coby White on a multi-year contract. <a href="https://t.co/ZxyLUkpeqD">pic.twitter.com/ZxyLUkpeqD</a></p><p>— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) <a href="https://twitter.com/chicagobulls/status/1677497868729438214?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 8, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>With White growing his skills as a player, it was a no-brainer for the Bulls to retain his services. Before the 2023-24 season, White agreed to sign a lucrative three-year contract extension worth up to $40 million, according to a <a href="https://bullswire.usatoday.com/2023/07/01/chicago-bulls-nba-free-agency-coby-white-contract-extension-good-deal/">report</a> by USA Today Sports.</p><p>Since signing the fresh contract extension, White reclaimed the starting point guard position for the Bulls. During the ongoing 2023-24 season, he is putting up the best season of his young career.</p><p>The University of North Carolina standout is tallying 19.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per outing. Given his remarkable effort this season, the 6-foot-5 guard is reportedly in contention for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-media-poll-2023-24-tyrese-maxey-alperen-sengun-most-improved-player-race">Most Improved Player of the Year race</a>.</p><h2><b>Coby White’s endorsement deals</b></h2><p>Given White’s growing popularity in the NBA with the Bulls, it isn’t surprising that a handful of major brands have decided to partner with the promising guard. According to <a href="https://www.osdbsports.com/nba/players/coby-white/endorsements/a1e46e84-bd9e-454d-9117-a8fa1aab0ce4" rel="noopener">sources</a>, White has partnerships with brands such as AT&amp;T, Crash on the Run, McDonald’s All-American Games, and adidas.</p><p>Based on a <a href="https://therookiewire.usatoday.com/2019/08/13/chicago-bulls-coby-white-adidas-multi-year-shoe-contract-endorsement/" rel="noopener">report</a> by USA Today Sports, White’s signing with adidas was a long-term deal.

He scored two points in 14 minutes but has been instrumental to the Bulls’ late-season push.</p><p>White averages a career-high 19.1 points along with 4.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists. The 24-year-old has taken a massive scoring leap in the absence of Zach LaVine, and the Bulls need his offensive prowess to thrive.</p><p>Chicago also needs a savvy defensive leader to be successful, and there is one man who consistently rises to the occasion. Alex Caruso helps add heart and intensity to the Bulls’ lineup. Known for his stellar defensive leadership, IQ, and serviceable offense, Caruso is the ultimate difference maker. The seventh-year guard averages a career-best 10.0 points in addition to 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.6 steals.</p><p>Like White, Caruso injured his ankle during the 108-100 victory against the Knicks. If he wants to continue to play hounding defense, he will need his ankle strong and ready to go.</p><h2><b>The Bulls cannot fall for the Magic trick</b></h2><p>Orlando has had an impressive 2023-24 season. The Magic have a record of 45-32 and sit fourth in the Eastern Conference standings. In contrast, Chicago is 37-40, one win above the Atlanta Hawks for the ninth-place spot.</p><p>The Bulls will need to have tabs on multiple Orlando players on Sunday, starting with second-year forward Paolo Banchero. Banchero averages team-highs of 22.5 points and 5.3 assists per game along with 6.8 rebounds. He is an offensive force who helps open up opportunities for his teammates.</p><p>Chicago needs to play him tough, but they cannot forget about his partner-in-crime Franz Wagner, who puts up 19.7 points per contest. Wagner can pop off at any moment, as evidenced by his 28-point outburst from Orlando’s March 5th 119-109 victory over the Washington Wizards.</p><p>Thankfully, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-demar-derozan-turns-down-rest-aid-chicagos-fiery-playoff-push">the Bulls have</a> a reliable weapon to combat Wagner and Banchero.</p><p>DeMar DeRozan looks to lead the way for Chicago on Sunday. He comes off a stout 20-point-10-rebound double performance against the Knicks. DeRozan will carry a heavy load and continue to be all over the floor for the Bulls.</p><p>If Chicago can get serviceable production from its role players and put forth a strong team defensive effort, the team has a chance to get another win and solidify itself in the Play-In. As for the question if both Coby White and Alex Caruso are playing tonight, the answer is yes and no, respectively.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

White is having a breakout season, and he has emerged as one of the best <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-jalen-johnson-injury-return-bulls">players on this Bulls team</a>. It would’ve been easy for this team to fold this year with all of the obstacles that have been in their way, but with just a couple weeks left in the regular season, it looks like they are going to play in the postseason. White is a big reason why.</p><p>Not only has Coby White emerged as a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-alex-caruso-pleads-with-fans-for-new-nike-kobe-4s-after-unfortunate-blowout">star player for the Bulls</a>, but he has also emerged as a leader. This is something that this team needed, and he has grown a lot in that role as of late. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan recently stressed to White how important that aspect of his game is, and he has responded well so far.</p><p>“He’s been so good with his voice, but I think sometimes players, when they feel like maybe they’re not playing great on a particular night, or whatever it may be, that they shouldn’t talk,” Billy Donovan said to the media last week. “Coby is really respected inside of our team and I tried to talk to him a little bit about like, how many times do you see in a game a guy makes a shot and he’s yelling out ‘let’s go.’ You never hear a guy make a turnover missed a shot, and say ‘let’s go.’ You have to, and I was explaining to Coby that you got to, regardless of how it’s going for you. You’re gonna have to be ‘let’s go’ guy regardless, and that’s part of what you can do. And you’ve established a voice and I give him credit. He didn’t have a great shooting night at all. But he was into the game. He was into it on the bench. He was into it in huddles. He did a phenomenal job and then Torrey Craig after the game acknowledged how much it helped him. And it brought a lot of life to our team. So those are the, I think the growth periods for him as a leader, that he’s learning. But I was really impressed with him tonight, even though it wasn’t a great offensive night for him.”</p><h2><b>Coby White’s breakout season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Coby-White-vs.-Timberwolves.jpg"><figcaption>© Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Coby White has taken tremendous strides for the Bulls this season, and the differences in <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4395651/coby-white" rel="noopener">his numbers this season</a> compared to last are quite stark.

Luckily for the Bulls, White is ok, and he is playing again. However, he has been in a little bit of a slump as of late.</p><p>This season has been a big one for Coby White, but he has <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4395651/coby-white" rel="noopener">been a little bit streaky</a>. A big reason for this is that he has emerged as one of the best scorers for Chicago, so teams guard him a little bit differently now. There are stretches where he doesn’t shoot the basketball as well, but head coach Billy Donovan wants him to always be confident and aggressive.</p><p>“Coby [White] is not a complainer and doesn’t ever make excuses,” Billy Donovan said before Wednesday’s Bulls-Pacers game. “So, when you talk to him, he never ever goes to ‘Hey, my hip is bothering me. I’m still feeling discomfort. I feel like I’m 85%.’ You never get that from him. I think he’s had enough games back to get his rhythm. I think he’s gotten good looks. He hasn’t shot the ball well. I think that will be an area of growth for him moving forward. He’s gone on these unbelievable tears for two, three weeks and then he’s had some time where he hasn’t shot the ball, where there’s been pretty big swings so to speak. I think the biggest thing that we need for him is for him to maintain being aggressive when he is open and getting the opportunity to do that.”</p><h2><b>Coby White is having a breakout season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Coby-White-vs.-the-Wizards.jpg"><figcaption>© Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Bulls have seen a lot of their players improve over the course of the season, and it’s a good thing they have because of all of all the injuries. A lot of guys have stepped up, and one of those players is Coby White. This is his fifth year in the NBA, and it has been his best yet.</p><p>So far this season, White is averaging 19.3 PPG, 5.2 APG and 4.7 RPG. His previous high for points was 15.1 PPG back in the 2020-21 season. This year has been big for White, and he should continue to get better.</p><p>The regular season is winding down for White and the Bulls as they have just nine games left after Wednesday’s game. If Chicago is going to have postseason success, White will need to be on.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic have stepped up for the Bulls in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-zach-lavine-to-undergo-season-ending-foot-surgery">Zach LaVine’s absence</a>, but the story of this season for Chicago has been the emergence of Coby White. Unfortunately for the Bulls, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-coby-white-avoids-major-injury-scare-hip-strain">White has been injured</a>, resulting in his absence over their last three games.</p><p>Luckily, Chicago hasn’t run into much competition over their last three games, as they bounced back from a 126-111 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers by defeating the Washington Wizards and Portland Trail Blazers. At 34-35 on the season, the Bulls still control their own destiny and could possibly move up in the standings in order to avoid the one-and-done 9-seed vs. 10-seed play-in game.</p><p>In order to do so, the Bulls are going to need White back on the court and healthy. This is especially true for Thursday night, when the Bulls take on the surging Houston Rockets, who have won six straight games and own the Western Conference’s longest active win streak. Whether or not White is able to return from his hip injury remains a question mark as of Thursday afternoon.</p><h2><b>Coby White injury status vs. Rockets</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Coby-White-dribbling.jpg"><figcaption>Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>White has been dealing with a right hip strain, which has resulted in him missing the Bulls’ last three games. This injury occurred on March 13, when Chicago defeated the Indiana Pacers 132-129 in overtime. Late in the fourth quarter, Pacers big man <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicago-gets-mixed-bag-of-coby-white-injury-updates-after-scary-exit-in-pacers-clash">Pascal Siakam landed on White</a> following a chasedown block. Further imaging was conducted, revealing White’s hip strain.</p><p>After getting back in the swing of things at practice and feeling better, White is <a href="https://x.com/byjuliapoe/status/1770499945478471858?s=20">confident</a> in his chances of playing on Thursday night against the Rockets.</p><p>“I mean, the minutes have been piling up. But I mean, that was an incident that I really, you know, that was one of those things that you can’t control,” White stated after practice on Wednesday, according to Julia Poe of The Chicago Tribune. “But, like I said, I dodged a bullet. It could’ve been a lot worse… I’m just glad it was nothing serious and nothing more than a strain.”</p><p>White fully practiced on Wednesday, and his hope is to play on Thursday night in Houston. In regards to his status for this game, White remains questionable to play due to his hip strain.</p><p>The Bulls have fought hard without White on the floor. In their 127-98 victory over the Wizards, Ayo Dosunmu recorded a game-high 34 points and nine assists. Dosunmu followed up this performance with 23 points and 10 assists in the team’s most recent 110-107 win over the Trail Blazers. Should White be ruled out again on Thursday, Dosunmu will continue to be a primary ball-handler and playmaker at the point guard position.</p><p>Over the summer, White was given a three-year, $36 million contract to remain in Chicago. So far, it appears as if the Bulls have definitely been happy with their investment, as White has averaged 19.5 points and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 38.8 percent from three-point range during his breakout campaign.</p><p>The Bulls will provide an update on White’s status against Houston later in the day.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has covered athletics at the University of Michigan and the University of Southern California and is now serving as an Associate Editor and Chicago Bulls beat writer at ClutchPoints.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Coby White has found himself in a much bigger role this season with the Chicago Bulls. Last season, White averaged just 23.4 minutes per game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-chicagos-latest-injury-adds-depth-concern-amid-playoff-push" rel="noopener">This season with the Bulls</a>, he is averaging 36.7. White is on the floor a lot more, and he is also scoring a lot more. He is one of the best <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-billy-donovan-brutally-honest-chicagos-struggles-improve-playoff-seed" rel="noopener">players that Chicago has</a> this season, but he unfortunately has been out for the last couple of games because of a minor injury.</p><p>During a recent Bulls game against the Indiana Pacers, Coby White went down with a slight hip injury. It’s nothing major and he should be back soon. Now that White is playing a lot more, he might have to change the way that he prepares his body in the offseason to avoid injuries.</p><p>“I think for Coby [White], it’s been really an <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/4395651/coby-white" rel="noopener">eye-opening experience</a> in a lot of ways,” Billy Donovan said to the media on Thursday. “One is, I think that he’s got an incredible threshold to fight through things, whether it’s physical or mental things. He’s got a lot of resiliency. I think coming into the season with what his role was the previous year, I don’t know if he ever would have anticipated the number of minutes that he’s gotten this year. I do think with what he’s gone through this year, it will probably open up his mind to even train maybe differently this next summer. Just what he’s had to go through and experience. I think that’s part of his evolution as a player, because those elite players, they have to do that night in and night out on both ends of the floor.”</p><p>The Bulls are hoping to get White back on the court as soon as possible as they are already dealing with a lot of injury trouble as they approach the postseason. Hopefully he can get back soon and finish the season healthy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
