3 Questions Coby White will have to answer immediately next season
The Chicago Bulls have plenty of questions hanging over them as a team, but also over individual players like Coby White.
White had a breakout season last year for the Bulls, finishing second in the Most Improved Player voting and cementing himself as one of the best values in the entire NBA.
White is on a team-friendly contract that runs for two more seasons at $12 and $12.8 million, great value for a guy who puts up his kind of numbers.

There is no question of whether White is an impactful player, but for him to get to the next level for the Bulls, he has to answer a few questions.
#1: Can Coby White be the leader of the Chicago Bulls?
With DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso gone, Zach LaVine in trade limbo and the rest of the roster populated by young players, it will fall upon White to be the de facto leader of this team.
White appears ready to embrace that role according to a recent interview in the Chicago Sun-Times (subscription) and it will be crucial for the Bulls’ success and development that he does.
White is now the young veteran on this team and if LaVine ends up being traded, undoubtedly its best player, so he will not only have to take a more vocal leadership role but lead by example on the court.
