Coby White has made strides to become a more complete, two-way player this season, but the Bulls may need him to go back to his roots as a bench scorer in Wednesday’s play-in game vs. the Raptors.
Enter White, who could be Wednesday’s X-factor.
The Bulls are expecting a physical game. They know the Raptors like to funnel offense into the paint, where Toronto’s length can do the most damage. They thrive on turning the ball over. “I just go out there hoop,” White said. “I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. I love doing it. It’s some of my happiest moments ever. So go out there and play basketball.White is downplaying his importance. But he has earned the coaching staff’s trust. And with scoring potentially at a premium, he could offer more impact than likely starter Patrick Beverley, particularly since White’s defense has improved.
“It was a learning experience. It was new. I learned a lot from being in that position and was thankful to be in that position,” White said. “A lot of young guys being in the playoffs for the first time, they don’t get a chance to play. A lot of coaches go with veteran guys. It was a great experience for me, and I learned a lot.”
