It was one teammate looking out for another.
So it seemed.
Coby White loves asking questions about other cultures, so when the Bulls guard first met then-newly acquired Ausie Josh Giddey before the start of the 2024 fall camp, his curiosity got the best of him.
That’s when Giddey gave his new buddy a warning: If he ever gets over to Australia, whatever White does, be careful of the Drop Bears – a vicious, carnivorous marsupial that dwells in trees, pouncing down on unsuspecting victims.
Great to know for White, and information he carried around with him well into the season.
