This is life with a second-year point guard. With no easy outs, Friday’s contest should’ve saw White force the issue at the rim to generate free throws - White was 3/4 from the free throw line - and open looks for others. While Washington presented Coby with many clear-cut windows for passes to cutters, Mike Budenholzer’s Bucks were much more diligent in taking away cutters altogether and sticking to weakside shooters. Obviously, Milwaukee - 11th in the NBA in defensive rating - is an entirely different animal than the Wizards (26th in defensive rating). And as I started to compose this post on White’s encouraging dimes, he followed up his solid performance with a 12-point, 3-assist, 4-turnover dud against the Milwaukee Bucks. Young receives the ball right in his shooting pocket, and more passes like this will help the Bulls finish higher in 3-point makes.Īs Bulls fans know all too well, there are growing pains with a young point guard. It’s a double-screen from Thaddeus Young and Gafford that leads directly to a wide-open corner 3 for Young.Ĭredit to White for (again) making an accurate cross-court pass. At the 00:34 mark, White benefits from an excellent set from Billy Donovan. It’s important to look for these ever-so-vital timing-dependent passes to truly see how White’s development is going. These are the type of plays that illustrate the game “slowing down” for White. He doesn’t make the pass until he sees Robin Lopez (#15) step toward him, knowing that Lopez won’t recover to Gafford in time. The play was incredibly important because it was not only an excellently timed cut from Gafford, but also an on-time pass from White.
White’s 5th assist of the night was a pass to a cutting Daniel Gafford.
In the 1st assist in Coby’s 10-assist highlight reel ( 00:03), he sells the hard cut to make sure Wizards big Thomas Bryant (#13) commits to the help defense, thus opening up a clean look for Wendell Carter Jr.
