Bulls are still defensive about making Coby White a starter ... for now
Coby White didn’t hit the rookie wall in December and January
That would be too kind.
No, the rookie wall actually hunted the first-year Bulls guard down, cornered him, and made sure to not only hit first, but hard.
In 17 games played last month, White scored in single digits in eight of them, shot just 33.3 percent from three-point range, and averaged 1.9 assists to 1.5 turnovers per game.
Back in December, White averaged just 9.4 points per game, shooting just 37.7 percent from the field.
That’s why his last two games have been so impressive.
