Coby White drops career high in win over Sacramento Kings
It’s been quite the season for former UNC basketball star Coby White, who continues to improve his chances for the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year award.
White has been posterizing the competition and added another poster Monday night against another fellow Tar Heel. White and the Chicago Bulls played in Sacramento, taking on Harrison Barnes and the Kings.
The second quarter is where White added Barnes to his highlight reel, as both Tar Heels matched up at the top of the key. White utilizing his handles and speed, not only crossed up Barnes to get to the rim, but added an exclamation point with a thunderous dunk over the former UNC star.

He had the go-ahead bucket in the win, scoring a layup late to give the Bulls a 111-109 lead.
This is White’s fifth game in the last two months, eclipsing 30 points or more, adding to his MIP resume. White and the Bulls will be back in action Wednesday to take on the Utah Jazz.
