Coby White's All-Rookie selection puts bow on top of standout first-year campaign

White becomes the first Bull to make an All-Rookie selection since Lauri Markkanen in 2018.

NBA All-Rookie Second Team selection Coby White ended his rookie season as arguably the hottest player in the NBA, averaging 26.1 points per game over Chicago's final nine games.

The Bulls last year believed they drafted one of the league's best rookies. The NBA, on Tuesday, confirmed that when Coby White was named to the annual All-Rookie team, a Second Team selection.

The acknowledgement comes six months after the suspension of the NBA regular season for the coronavirus. The Bulls played 65 games in their part of the season as White had just been breaking through when the season was halted.
