NEW YORK – Coby White wasn’t exactly sneaking up on opposing teams in previous seasons.
Like all NBA coaches do, his tendencies were broken down on film, talked about in the walk-through, and put to ink in the pregame scouting report.
Probably with a reminder of “can get hot from three-point range” next to his shot chart, but in the broad scope of concerns for the opposition “just another guy” when defending the Bulls.
That’s no longer the case.
White has made sure of that.
“Just another guy” is now a focal point in those scouting reports, and for teams that still aren’t seeing it they’re about to have a 48-minute headache on their hands.
