Former North Carolina men’s basketball star Coby White is shining bright in the NBA.
The 6-foot-5 guard is in his sixth season of professional basketball after a one-and-done career in Chapel Hill. Many considered him a snub for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award following the 2023-24 season, in which he averaged 19.1 PPG. He may have missed out on that accolade, but White has responded with emphasis this season, especially in the month of March.
After putting together a respectable first half of the NBA season, White has caught absolute fire in the recent weeks. He currently holds a streak of 14 consecutive games with 20+ points, dating back to Feb.
