Bulls rookie Coby White the team’s savior? Shhh, don’t ask Jim Boylen

Jim Boylen doesn’t want labels placed anywhere near his rookie.

The Bulls coach doesn’t want to assign Coby White a position title, won’t put a minutes restriction near him, and won’t even define how exactly he wants the guard from North Carolina to play.

Does he want White playing isolation, does he want him attacking the rim? Just play, according to Boylen.

“I don’t critic him on every moment or everything,’’ Boylen said of White’s development. “I try to let him play, let him figure it out a little bit. I don’t put titles on him or I don’t give him a position title.
