Coby White got a first-hand taste of the Jimmy Butler Experience three weeks ago on South Beach, and now the Bulls guard was hoping to follow in Butler’s Most Improved Player footsteps.

The Bulls have seen a jump in performance like this before.

Back in the 2014-15 campaign, Jimmy Butler went from just another young, talented guy to walking away with the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award.

Not only did the former Bull increase his scoring average by almost seven points per game that season, but across the board improved in rebounds, assists and three-point shooting, as well as staying an elite defender.
