In news that is not really a surprise to anyone who has watched his name climb mock draft boards, UNC point guard Coby White has declared for this year’s NBA Draft. White came into the season not really expected to be a one-and-done player, but he settled into the role nicely and had a brilliant freshman campaign that catapulted his draft stock into the conversation for a lottery pick.
White committed to UNC just three days after Roy Williams offered him a scholarship, and his dynamic play throughout the season earned him a place in man Tar Heel fans’ hearts.
