Chicago Bulls’ Coby White finishes 2nd in the NBA’s Most Improved Player award voting

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White shoots while warming up for a Play-In Tournament game against the Atlanta Hawks at the United Center on April 17, 2024. Still, when the TNT broadcast paused to announce the winner of the league’s Most Improved Player award, it felt like a final milestone for the Bulls guard at the end of his fifth season in Chicago.

A year prior, the future was uncertain for White. He’d been struggling to work his way off the bench for the Bulls, battling a streaky shot while attempting to fill out the rest of his game as a playmaker and a defender. He had dedicated himself to changing his game after underperforming in the first round of the 2022 NBA playoffs, but that growth wasn’t immediate and change was slow-coming on the court.

Most importantly, however, White felt that he worked back to a version of himself — both on and off the court — that was recognizable again.
