With the seventh pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls select… Coby White! The Chicago Bulls made a huge splash in this year’s draft, selecting star explosive point guard from North Carolina, Coby White. Ever since the fall of Derrick Rose, the Bulls have tried many different point guards who never seemed to quite work out. First with Rajon Rondo, then Kris Dunn, but now they just might have found the right guy. Coby White was an absolute power player at North Carolina and was the main reason they were so dominant last season.

White is a perfect example of a modern-day NBA point guard. He’s as fast as a cheetah, he can throw bombs from downtown, he is probably the best shooter coming out of this year’s draft class, and he has court vision compatible to Allen Iverson.

A perfect comparison for White is AI. They’re both incredibly fast and quick, have great handles, and are both excellent shooters. They’re both aggressive scorers and aren’t afraid to go to the hoop. Now I’m not saying Coby White is going to turn into Allen Iverson, but I’m saying he has the potential. If this prediction becomes true, then Coby White will be the man to turn things around in the Windy City.

When the Bulls chose White, I was incredibly happy and excited, but some people were disappointed. I’ve heard talk about how Coby White is a bust and the Bulls should have picked Cam Reddish.

What I’m about to say is a very unpopular opinion, but I think Cam Reddish is a bust. Now, call me crazy, but I don’t think that he is going to be a good NBA player. Maybe he just didn’t fit in at Duke University and had a difficult time fitting into their system, but he couldn’t really shine in college sitting in the shadow of Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett. I could be wrong and he could turn out to be a great player in the NBA, but I think that the Bulls honestly dodged a bullet and made the right decision choosing White over Reddish.

If everything works out how I think it will, then Coby White will bring our Bulls back into the playoffs in no time.

Coby White had an up and down performance in the NBA Summer League, but if you look at his numbers from this summer, they actually are similar to past lottery pick point guards. White displays on the floor that he is a leader and will take over the game and his team if he needs to. He has shown excellent shooting and scoring ability, but one thing he needs to work on is his passing and playmaking skills. To be a star point guard in today’s NBA, you need to be an all-around player. Luckily for White, becoming a good playmaker just takes practice. Based on his summer league performance, if he can bring up his passing and playmaking ability a bit, Coby White could be an all-star point guard in the NBA.

Now to the guy who the Bulls picked in the second round, who has less noise around him than White does, the center from Arkansas University, Daniel Gafford.

Nobody really expects him to make a huge splash for the Bulls. Yeah, he’ll be a solid player off the bench, but very few people have confidence Gafford will be a huge contributor for the Bulls this season. Well, that was until the summer league. Gafford had an unbelievable summer. He finished with 13.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks, and he did that in just five games. In those five games he only played a combined total of 24.9 minutes and still put up those stats.

Confidence in Gafford went up a lot after this summer. If Daniel Gafford can play in the regular season as he did in the summer league, he could be a serious contributor for the Bulls this season.

Good luck Coby, good luck Daniel, and go Bulls!
