Former UNC basketball star sets Chicago Bulls single-season record
Coby White showcased his three-point shooting ability as a member of the UNC basketball program. That skill translated nicely to the NBA.
Coby White has been one of (if not the) most improved player in the NBA during the 2023-2024 season.
The former UNC basketball star has played at an All-Star level all season long, as he's now made some franchise single-season history in the process.
On Tuesday night, White became the Chicago Bulls' single-season three-point shooting king. The former Tar Heel now has 205 three pointers made this season, passing current teammate Zach LaVine's record of 204 set back during the 2022-2023 season.
White and LaVine are the only Bulls to record 200+ made three-pointers in a single-season. The former Tar Heel will have a chance to add to his record over the Bulls' final stretch of the regular season.
What a season it has been for Coby White, as he's averaging a career-high 19.0 points per-game. He has essentially improved in every aspect of his game, as his rebounding and assists numbers have taken a significant jump from a season ago.
White has truly embraced his role as a full-time starter, as the extension he signed this past summer is one that looks like an absolute steal for the Bulls organization. The scary thing is: White is still only 24-years-old, as it looks as if he has a lot of good basketball ahead at this point in his young promising career.
The season didn't go as planned for the Bulls organization, but White has surely been a positive for the franchise. It's very likely that he'll be one of the players that the franchise attempts to build around this offseason and beyond.
