Former University of North Carolina standout and current Chicago Bulls reserve point guard Coby White has had his fair share of ups and downs during his first NBA season. Friday night marked his best performance of the new year, coming off the Chicago bench to scorch the Indiana Pacers for 23 points in 29 minutes of game action.
White hit 8-of-17 shots from the floor, and 5-of-9 from three-point range, and he was a big reason that the Bulls stuck around as long as they did. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound White added five rebounds, an assist and a steal alongside Chicago’s Zach LaVine, who put together another tremendous performance — his 43 points and eight made three-pointers led the way for the Bulls — despite coming up short in the end.
