He expects to fit behind LaMelo Ball initially, while providing depth and flexibility given the team’s backcourt demands.

Coby White delivered an impressive comeback performance in a 150 147 double overtime defeat to Utah, scoring 27 points with eight assists and four rebounds off the bench, going a perfect 14 of 14 from the free throw line after a calf strain layoff. Late in overtime he stripped Keyonte George and drove off a Nikola Vucevic screen for a tying layup with 0.2 seconds left, showing aggression and rhythm even as his overall shooting remained rusty, offering Chicago a major backcourt boost despite the narrow loss.
