The 25-year-old guard led the Bulls in scoring as he continues to be productive while playing through a toe issue. White has scored more than 20 points in eight straight games, averaging 27.9 points, 5.5 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.9 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch as his usage grows with Lonzo Ball (wrist) on the shelf.

Last season, White emerged as a potential primary option for the Bulls. He ended the year with averages of 19.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists shooting 44.7% from the field and 37.6% from deep. Yet, rather than deciding to build around White as the primary ball-handler, the Bulls front office decided to trade for Josh Giddey.
