VIDEO: Coby White and Roy Williams Embrace After Rookie Makes 7 3's in 3rd Quarter in Bulls Win
By Karl Rasmussen
Coby White is no longer suiting up for the North Carolina Tar Heels, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten his college roots. White, now a member of the Bulls, had a career night on Tuesday, including draining seven 3's in a single quarter. After the game he met with his former coach Roy Williams for an embrace and jokingly asked the Tar Heels skipper to come to more of his games.
"If possible, could you come to more games? Because I haven't shot like that in a long time."

On the season, White is averaging 12.6 points and is shooting 30.8% from deep. The Bulls selected the point guard with the seventh overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and he's already being given ample opportunity to impress in his first year the Association.
