Bulls coach Jim Boylen remains very hands on with rookie Coby White

Coby White expected his scoring to suffer over the last week.

The way the Bulls rookie looked at it was there had to be a step back in one aspect of his game if he was going to take two steps forward in another.

That’s what’s happened to White since he was switched to a lead guard role with the second unit last weekend in Miami, rather than the off-guard spot he had been playing. The scoring took a dip, while the assists have gone up.

Coach Jim Boylen sees that as the further education of White.
