I thought Coby White wasn’t supposed to be a passer. I thought that he was a tunnel-vision me-first chucker in the vein of Monta Ellis. I thought he was the kind of guy who would only incidentally get assists because he was handling the ball too much. Those are all things that I thought and…

The ONLY positive of Coby White taming his lion’s mane into a more manageable hairstyle is that it’s easier to fit his head into the thumbnail. But that’s IT. There may be other benefits from his perspective, like it not hindering him on the court as much or whatever, but I don’t care about his…

Coby White’s field goal percentage of 36 percent is one of the lowest for players who play real minutes. It’s a good thing that he’s had a couple really hot games shooting the ball, or he’d be way in the pits. But as of the time of this writing, he’s only 69th (nice) in that…

For fun and edification, here is a list of players who have a lower True Shooting Percentage than Coby White, in order from best to worst: -RJ Barrett -Tyus Jones -Nickeil Alexander-Walker -Cam Reddish -Treveon Graham -Jarrett Culver -Dwayne Bacon -Jordan Poole For further fun and even greater edification, here is a list of players…

A surfeit of really good scoring performances from Coby White has managed to distract the casual NBA fan (or even the slightly more informed NBA fan) from his overall dismal shooting numbers. That’s okay, because casuals (due to their disgusting ignorance and worthless opinions) deserve to be fooled and tricked as much as possible. And…

Zach LaVine, with his 49 points, 13 threes, and game-winning shot, is the hero of this miraculous win against the Hornets, but let’s not forget about the contributions of Coby White. First off, he was a big part of the trio who successfully forced the Hornets into the late turnover that cost them the game,…

Coby White started off this game the same way he finished his last game (a reminder: he hit 7 threes in the fourth quarter). I was NOT happy. That’s what I get for actually watching the Bucks: a floppy-haired rookie coming in and making a whole bunch of threes. He had five of them in…

I couldn’t figure out how to put in the title of the video while still adhering to standard DownToBuck video-title conventions, so here’s some extra context for this vid if you’re from the future and maybe don’t remember exactly what happened. Coby White scored 23 points, including 7 three-pointers, in the fourth quarter to turn…

The “rookie wall” appeared suddenly and quickly for Coby White. He started off great, with a 17/7 game and a 25-burger in his first two games, things were looking great, and he ran right into it going full speed. That’s the deal with the rookie wall; you never know when it will appear. Some players…
