It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Coby White this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Chicago Bulls Shooting Guard.
Should You Draft Coby White in Fantasy Basketball?
Coby White took a major step forward last season, averaging over 20 points per game for the first time in his career while maintaining elite efficiency. His scoring flourished as Chicago fully shifted away from the DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine era. Though his assists and rebounds ticked down slightly, White’s shotmaking and career-high 4.1 free-throw attempts per game solidified him as a valuable fantasy asset.
The Bulls’ roster continues to evolve, but White’s role remains secure. With Lonzo Ball traded to Cleveland and Josh Giddey re-signed long-term, Chicago will again rely heavily on White as a scorer and secondary playmaker. Matas Buzelis is expected to take another step forward, yet his presence should only help open the floor for White’s perimeter game.
Heading into his seventh NBA season, White’s scoring consistency and shooting efficiency make him one of the more dependable mid-round fantasy guards. His three-point volume keeps him valuable in category formats, while his workload and top scoring role make him equally strong in points leagues.
