“The NBA announced today that Chicago Bulls guard Coby White was named the Kia NBA Player of the Month in the East for games played in March,” the Bulls said in a press release. “White joins Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and DeMar DeRozan as the only Bulls players to earn the monthly honor.”

The Chicago Bulls have been one of the most surprisingly impressive teams in the NBA over the past month, and it is largely credited to their new star backcourt. Josh Giddey and Coby White have been incredible for Chicago recently,

He’s evolved into a great player, all the way around,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said of White, who had another huge scoring night Monday.

White registered 28 points (10-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 137-118 victory over Toronto.

White was limited to 23 minutes Monday and struggled badly against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, and this seven-point effort signaled the end of his 15-game streak with at least 20 points.

Over the last two months, the Chicago Bulls have been one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference. Billy Donovan's young squad has found a rhythm, as Coby White and Josh Giddey have both taken their games to a new level.
