Bulls rookie Coby White a starter? And other things that need to be seen

Coby White finally a starter?

It no longer sounded like just speculation on Saturday. Bulls coach Jim Boylen made sure of that, again answering media questions about the prized rookie, and insisting it wasn’t “if,’’ but “when?’’

“I think that day is probably coming,’’ Boylen said. “And is there a time when we look at the development side of this. We’ve talked all year about developing and winning. Is that day coming? I would say, ‘Yes, probably.’ When, I’m not exactly sure.

“The fact that Coby was rookie of the month in the Eastern Conference to me is just a huge growth plate for him from where he was in Summer League and when we first got him.
