Coby White is in his 7th year in the NBA after getting drafted in 2019 by the Chicago Bulls. After having a career year last season, White has continued to be a big piece for the Bulls. On Saturday night, White was lights out from behind the arc against the third place New York Knicks.
Coby White set a new career-high with 9 three-pointers. White went 9-11 with an 81% three-point percentage. The former UNC basketball star’s 33-point outing helped lead the Bulls to a 139-126 victory.
White is now shooting 37% from three and has a 42.9% field goal percentage. He has been an important piece for the Bulls since getting drafted. He has continued to improve every year and has become a great guard for the Bulls.
Coby White’s nine threes are tied for the fourth most by a Chicago Bulls player in a game. He is behind Zach LaVine, who holds first, second, and third for the Bulls. White is third on the team in points per game with 18.4 and leads the team in three-pointers made this season. White has 104 threes made in 281 three-point attempts. Coby White and the Bulls sit at the 10 spot in the Eastern Conference but are only two games back of the fifth seed. If White continues to play at a high level like he has this year, he can lead the Bulls to a playoff spot.
