Despite their lack of moves over the past three years, the Chicago Bulls need to plan for the future. Guys like DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic won’t be around forever, and the Bulls probably won’t win any championships with their current core. In turn, it’s all about tomorrow in Chicago.
Leading the way for his next group is Coby White, who had a breakout season this year. However, a recent injury scare will have White thinking about his preparation process. He’s played more minutes than ever and the Bulls will need him to be at his best every step of the way.
Head coach Billy Donovan recently discussed how the injury will help define White’s offseason preparation, especially with his new expectations. (H/t Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune)
“For Coby, it was an eye-opening experience in many ways,” Donovan said. “He has an incredible threshold to fight. But going into the season, I don’t know if he would have anticipated the number of minutes he got this year. … It’s part of his evolution as a player.
White has been great this year and he continues to improve.
