Chicago Bulls guard Coby White was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for March 2025, joining Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, and DeMar DeRozan as the only players in franchise history to win the monthly honor.
White earned the award by averaging 27.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on 50/38/88 shooting splits in 35.3 minutes across 15 starts last month while leading the Chicago Bulls to a 9-6 record.
In addition to winning the monthly award, White became the first player in Chicago Bulls history to have consecutive seasons with at least 200 made three-pointers. He also breached the 6,000-point threshold during a March matchup against the Indiana Pacers.
The former No. 7 overall pick is fresh from dropping 28 points, three rebounds, six assists, and two steals on 10-for-16 shooting in Chicago’s 137-118 win against Toronto last Tuesday.
Chicago Bulls News: Billy Donovan lauds Coby White for his latest accolade
Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan couldn’t be happier to see Coby White win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award. Donovan said he already saw this coming from White, as he was having a solid month.
“We talk about it (the honor), say something about it. Coby (White) is very level-headed,” Donovan told the media via Scotty White of ClutchPoints. “For him to win Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks, you felt he would have a good opportunity to be Player of the Month.
“So, I’m happy for him. I think some of that has been a factor of the team, outside of last night. We’ve played good basketball and played competitively, so it’s good to see someone like him get rewarded. He’s been a big part of that,” he added.
