You don't have to be a Chicago Bulls fan to be excited about rookie Coby White. The seventh overall selection in the 2019 NBA Draft has plenty of talent at the point guard position.
However, it's not just the skill that sets him apart. University of North Carolina head coach, Roy Williams talked with K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune about White as a person, player and teammate.
“How can anybody do any better than what he did there?” said Roy Williams, North Carolina’s Hall of Fame coach. “He’s going to be an NBA player and he goes wacko talking about Cam and how hard Cam worked.
“I’ve always said it takes a special person to really rejoice and enjoy other people’s successes. And you saw that last night with Coby talking about Cam. The Bulls are getting a really, really talented player. They’re also getting a great teammate.”
If you aren't sure what he's referring to, it's a video posted by NBA on TNT on Twitter. The video shows White reacting to his UNC teammate Cameron Johnson being drafted by the Phoenix Suns at 11.
Coby White had the best reaction to finding out his UNC teammate Cam Johnson got selected No. 11. 🙌

White balled out in his lone season with UNC. He averaged over 16 points and four assists per game, and had some major moments during the season. Due to that, getting drafted seventh overall wasn't much of a surprise.
