He covers the NBA and NFL and is a lifelong Lakers fan.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Chicago Bulls have started the season hot with their new additions playing pivotal roles. One player who hasn’t played yet due to injury is young guard Coby White. Even when White returns, the Bulls have a surplus at the guard position and could use him in a trade.</p><p>In the offseason, Chicago acquired guards Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso, who have been a big part of the rotation. They also recently lost their defensive wing Patrick Williams, who could be out for the rest of the season. With White fighting for minutes and lacking depth at wing, they should look into trading him.</p><p>With that said, here are three reasons why the Bulls must trade Coby White.</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Bulls-Coby-White.jpeg"></figure><h2><b>3. White isn’t a great fit</b></h2><p>Although White is a rising young player, his game isn’t a great fit for the new-look Bulls. Billy Donovan has done a great job incorporating DeMar DeRozan, Ball, and Caruso with Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. Last season, White averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/whiteco01.html">15.1 points</a> per game along with 4.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists.</p><p>He also shot an efficient 41.6 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from three. He is a scoring guard that doesn’t fit well alongside the rest of Chicago’s offense. White could benefit another team with his scoring ability, and the Bulls should trade him elsewhere.</p><h2><b>2. Bulls need a wing</b></h2><p>With Patrick Williams potentially missing the rest of the season, the Bulls lack depth at the wing position. Javonte Green has slid into the starting lineup, who serves better as a backup player. Chicago has an incredible roster and could potentially make a deep playoff run.</p><p>Adding a defensive wing could help the Bulls take a jump to a real contender in the Eastern Conference. Williams was primed to have a significant role for them as the lockdown wing defender. White will have good trade value as a growing young scorer, and Chicago could acquire a wing in return.</p><h2><b>1. Bulls have a ton of guard depth</b></h2><p>The Bulls have one of the best backcourts in the entire NBA. They have LaVine and Ball as the starting guards, who are a dynamic backcourt, with Caruso as the primary backup. Caruso has been a key contributor to Billy Donovan’s team, as he is often in the closing lineup.</p><p>These three guards have created an outstanding balance of scoring, playmaking, and defense. This season, Ball is averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/balllo01.html">12.4 points</a> per game while shooting a career-high 40.7 percent from three. Although it is a small sample size, Ball looks confident with his jump shot and could be a consistent three-point shooter.</p><p>LaVine has also started off the season strong, averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/lavinza01.html">25.8 points</a> per game on solid efficiency. The Bulls have been aggressive building around him the past two seasons after being a stagnant team.</p><p>Caruso has been one of the great additions, averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/carusal01.html">8 points</a> per game along with 1.9 steals. He has also been a great three-point shooter at 41.2 percent.</p><p>The Bulls won’t have many minutes available for White when he returns, and a trade to another team makes the most sense.</p><p>Whether or not Chicago moves on from White, they should make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2017. However, they could become a title contender if they can pull off a trade for a defensive wing. The Bulls don’t have a superstar, but rather a balanced team with multiple stars and rising talent.</p><p>They should make a deep playoff run and bring excitement for basketball back to Chicago.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reported, that is even more likely given White’s absence:</p><blockquote>“Plenty of talk around the league already existed about the Bulls focusing on adding a guard this offseason,” Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/KCJHoop/status/1403090333047607296">tweeted</a>. “Coby White shoulder injury news—and the team release said he would be re-evaluated in 4 months, not that he for sure will be ready then—only will intensify that talk.”</blockquote><p>Chicago will be hoping to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/4-major-decisions-the-bulls-need-to-make-this-offseason-to-become-playoff-contenders/">bolster its backcourt</a> and perhaps give All-Star shooting guard Zach LaVine more of a pass-first point guard who can shoot the ball efficiently from deep and excels in pick-and-roll.</p><p>It’s unknown whether the Bulls will use that space to sign free agents or perhaps look to pull off a trade. Though someone like Damian Lillard would be quite enticing, it’s unlikely Chicago can trade for him because it would require a lot of cap gymnastics and might not be feasible given their current situation with draft picks, which could be all the more complicated if the 2021 choice translates to the Orlando Magic via the Nikola Vucevic trade.</p><p>White’s future was also a bit unclear given the former No. 7 pick has struggled to live up to his potential. However, the Bulls aren’t likely to move him now and especially not when he’s on the shelf.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The two young prospects, long believed to be cornerstones of the Bulls’ multi-year rebuild, are now leading the Bulls’ second unit as the team gears up for a playoff push.</p><blockquote>“They’re probably not going to be featured guys, just calling it like it is,” head coach Billy Donovan said via <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/bulls-billy-donovan-defines-lauri-markkanen-coby-whites-roles">Rob Schaefer of NBCChicago</a>. “But they’re very important pieces to our team, and we need them to play at a high level.”</blockquote><p>It’s a harsh reality check for both Coby White and Lauri Markkanen, especially with the expectations thrust on both players at the start of the season. White was handed the starting point guard position at the start of the season, and while his raw numbers have improved from his rookie year, his PER has regressed from a mediocre 11.9 last season to an even worse 11.4 this season. Defense has also been an issue for the beleaguered point guard.</p><p>For Markkanen, consistency has been the 23-year-old’s Teumessian fox. The ragged play, along with the Bulls’ acquisition of two-time All-Star Nikola Vucevic, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pacers-news-myles-turner-strengthens-case-for-dpoy-with-block-on-nikola-vucevic/" rel="noopener">has resulted in a diminished</a> role for the forward. It couldn’t have come at a worse time for the four-year veteran who’s headed to restricted free agency in the offseason.</p><p>Not all is lost for both players, though. The bench roles could turn into a blessing in disguise as both White and Markkanen now have free reign to just be basketball players, as opposed to filling specific roles that both may not be too comfortable with had they remained in the starting lineup for the Bulls.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
