40. Coby White

40. Coby White

A former North Carolina Mr. Basketball (2018), Coby White played a year in college for UNC before he was taken with the seventh overall pick in 2019.

A combo Guard, White was a Second Team All-Rookie and became a starter as a sophomore, but he regressed in the two years that followed.  White broke out in 2023-24 with 19.1 PPG, and increased that last year with 20.4.  With the ability to explode and make it rain from beyond the arc, White looks to be a prime offensive weapon for Chicago moving forward.

White needs to develop a more refined game in 2025-26, and if he does, he could threaten a top-twenty rank in Chicago.
