Former UNC Basketball Star Receives Latest Prestigious Honor

Coby White had an impressive one-and-done season with the UNC basketball program in 2018-19. Since then, he’s spent six years in the NBA, eventually earning a starting role and becoming a key scorer for the Chicago Bulls. Last season, White had a breakout performance toward the end of the year and has continued to shine this season, aiming to help the Bulls secure a spot in the NBA Playoffs play-in round.

The 6-foot-5, 195-pound guard was exceptional in March, scoring over 20 points in all but one of the Bulls’ 15 games that month.

His outstanding play earned him the NBA’s Eastern Conference Player of the Month award, marking the first time the former Tar Heel has received this honor. It’s a well-deserved recognition after another impressive stretch of performances in his sixth professional season.

White hasn’t slowed down, either, totaling 59 points—including a highlight-reel dunk on Friday night—during Chicago’s 2-0 start to April.

In 70 games this season, White is posting a career-high 20.5 points per game, along with 3.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
