No offense but this guy just looks kinda dumb so I hope he's one hell of an athlete... That can develop a jumper.

Barrett was the top recruit in his class, and he had an amazing college season. He was only overshadowed because of Zion. White was the 26th rated prospect going into last year. I would say Barrett is considered to have a significantly higher ceiling.

How Coby White Complements the Bulls

White, like Culver, rose up draft boards over the course of the season. He wasn’t originally supposed to be a one-and-done player, but it didn’t take long for him to show that he was the best prospect on a North Carolina team that had two other players (Cam Johnson and Nas Little) taken in the first round. White, a speed demon who pushes the pace at every opportunity, is a classic Roy Williams point guard. What makes him such an intriguing prospect is that he combines that speed with great size for the position (6-foot-5 and 185 pounds) and a good 3-point shot (35.3 percent on 6.6 attempts per game).


One of the knocks on White coming into the draft was that he might not be ready to run an NBA offense. He can make highlight-reel passes, but he’s still a score-first guard who can get out of control at times. Few coaches at the next level will give White as much freedom as he had under Williams. Bulls head coach Jim Boylen certainly won’t. The good news for White is that while his NBA coach may not be the best fit for his game, his teammates are. Markkanen is an even more prolific 3-point shooter than Towns: He shot 36.1 percent from 3 on 6.4 attempts per game last season, the most of any 7-footer in the league. White will be playing in spacing nirvana next to Markkanen.


It’s not just Markkanen, either. White will be the rare rookie point guard taken in the lottery who starts his NBA career with a lot of talent around him. Zach LaVine and Otto Porter Jr. are knockdown 3-point shooters, while Wendell Carter Jr. showed flashes of the ability to stretch the floor in a promising rookie season. The Bulls could run a five-out offense with shooters at every position. Porter and Carter, two of the better frontcourt passers in the league, can also take some of the playmaking pressure off of White. He won’t have to do everything on offense. He can play off the ball and count on his veteran teammates to create open shots for him.

White is a much better fit with their starters than Kris Dunn, a streaky outside shooter who can’t threaten the defense without the ball. Everything has to go through Dunn when he is in. White, on the other hand, is an excellent spot-up shooter who should be able to succeed in a smaller role in the offense. The Bulls don’t need their point guard to dominate the ball. They have two of the most skilled young big men in the NBA and two wings who can score in LaVine and Porter. For as much criticism as they have received during their rebuild over the past few seasons, they suddenly have one of the most interesting young cores in the league.

I wouldn't. Barrett hurt his stock during his freshman year and White significantly improved his. They seem to be trending in opposite directions.

Well I saw no analysis that rated White a better player. I guess we shall see though.

White's now the only Carolina frosh ever to score at least 33 points twice in a season. Not Jordan. Not Carter. Not Hansbrough. Not Jamison, Worthy, Montross, Ford, Perkins, Cunningham, Barnes, Stackhouse or anyone else.

White scored 3,573 points at Greenfield High, a North Carolina high school state record.

I think I would too but I think it's closer than you have it. If you include the front office and coaching staff I'd rather be Atlanta. That's really holding us back imo.

Pierce is no doubt better than Boylen but I think the Bulls talent is so much better that even that Buffoon Boylen isn't inept enough to screw it up.

This is a helluva fluff piece.. the Bulls have 2 of the most talented big men in the league..? I like lauri Markkanen, but that’s a stretch

Have you ever heard Markkanen play his clarinet? Amazing!

How Coby White Complements the Bulls

White, like Culver, rose up draft boards over the course of the season. He wasn’t originally supposed to be a one-and-done player, but it didn’t take long for him to show that he was the best prospect on a North Carolina team that had two other players (Cam Johnson and Nas Little) taken in the first round. White, a speed demon who pushes the pace at every opportunity, is a classic Roy Williams point guard. What makes him such an intriguing prospect is that he combines that speed with great size for the position (6-foot-5 and 185 pounds) and a good 3-point shot (35.3 percent on 6.6 attempts per game).


One of the knocks on White coming into the draft was that he might not be ready to run an NBA offense. He can make highlight-reel passes, but he’s still a score-first guard who can get out of control at times. Few coaches at the next level will give White as much freedom as he had under Williams. Bulls head coach Jim Boylen certainly won’t. The good news for White is that while his NBA coach may not be the best fit for his game, his teammates are. Markkanen is an even more prolific 3-point shooter than Towns: He shot 36.1 percent from 3 on 6.4 attempts per game last season, the most of any 7-footer in the league. White will be playing in spacing nirvana next to Markkanen.


It’s not just Markkanen, either. White will be the rare rookie point guard taken in the lottery who starts his NBA career with a lot of talent around him. Zach LaVine and Otto Porter Jr. are knockdown 3-point shooters, while Wendell Carter Jr. showed flashes of the ability to stretch the floor in a promising rookie season. The Bulls could run a five-out offense with shooters at every position. Porter and Carter, two of the better frontcourt passers in the league, can also take some of the playmaking pressure off of White. He won’t have to do everything on offense. He can play off the ball and count on his veteran teammates to create open shots for him.

White is a much better fit with their starters than Kris Dunn, a streaky outside shooter who can’t threaten the defense without the ball. Everything has to go through Dunn when he is in. White, on the other hand, is an excellent spot-up shooter who should be able to succeed in a smaller role in the offense. The Bulls don’t need their point guard to dominate the ball. They have two of the most skilled young big men in the NBA and two wings who can score in LaVine and Porter. For as much criticism as they have received during their rebuild over the past few seasons, they suddenly have one of the most interesting young cores in the league.


What I love about this guy is his defense. He is very quick and uses his length to great advantage.

watched a few minutes of the first game and he looked ok. last night got me a little (lot) worried. But I tell myself, "he's only 19 and played one year of college. lots of time to improve." Plus they have no other playmakers and apparently only run one offense...Coby runs down into traffic and turns it over trying to hit one of the guys standing around, guarded, offense.

I agree, he looks ok. Not bad, not great. Can pull up and hit the midrange which seems to be about the only thing he does really well right now.

Coby looked pretty good last night, but he was still clearly the 3rd best rookie on the floor. Jaxson Hayes and Nikel Alexander-Walker looked amazing. Hayes looked like the steal of the draft. Granted its only one game, but he looked very springy and active and showed very nice bbal IQ making smart cuts without the ball.

It's only one game, but last night Hayes looked like he should've been a top 3 pick in the draft. Very interested to see if he keeps that up or if it was just first game flash in the pan type of stuff.
