White enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2023-24, as he averaged 19.1 points, 5.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 threes in 36.5 minutes across 79 regular-season appearances (78 starts) - all career highs. He also scored a career-high 42 points during Chicago's Play-In Game victory over the Hawks. However, the increased production and offensive responsibilities can be directly correlated to Zach LaVine's long-term absence. LaVine is supposed to be healthy in 2024-25, as is Lonzo Ball, and the Bulls made another offensive move by trading defensive-minded Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey, who's expected to start at point guard. With Giddey at PG, White should move to SG and LaVine to SF, but anything's possible in Chicago, especially if the Bulls continue to struggle. Lottery pick Matas Buzelis could also factor heavily into the rotation at some point, but by most accounts, the rookie will be a developmental piece. White finished 48th in eight-category leagues last season, but given all the Bulls' question marks and his lack of defensive statistics, using a top-50 pick on the sixth-year guard out of North Carolina may be ill-advised.
