Coby White Rumors

Other players regarded as potentially available and said to interest Detroit include Charlotte's Coby White, Oklahoma City's Isaiah Joe and possibly even Sacramento's Zach LaVine now that LaVine is heading into the final year of a massive contract with a $49 million player option that carries a June 29 deadline to be activated.

With Charlotte considering a starting-caliber center upgrade, other centers besides Sabonis are on their radar, including Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton, league sources told HoopsHype. In addition, it’s worth noting that the Nets have expressed interest in Hornets free agent guard Coby White in the past when he was on the Chicago Bulls, sources said. In other Hornets news, assistant coach Zach Peterson is a candidate to become the franchise’s next head coach of their G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm. DJ Bakker, who’s been an assistant coach for the Hornets and head coach of the Swarm in the G League, is a candidate to join Sean Sweeney’s staff as an assistant coach with the Orlando Magic, league sources told HoopsHype.

Joakim Noah: "Did you learn things, are there teammates who taught you things, who helped you for this year?" Noa Essengue: "Oh yes, and I would say first of all the two who helped me a lot at the time of my injury were Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu. Because it is two guys who went through this operation too. So talking with them, talking about how rehabilitation was, how long it takes, if it was hard to come back afterwards, for this injury, they helped me a lot."

SleeperHornets: Coby White on this Hornets team: “I’ve never been on a team this dangerous. It can be a back and forth game and then you hit one run and you look up and you’re up 20, and then you’re up 30… I think we’re starting to hold those leads when you do get them and continue to build upon.”

Coby White tossed in 10 points and had four assists and three rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench. His presence was immediately felt when he checked in for LaMelo Ball midway through the first quarter after the star guard picked up his second foul. The duo even found themselves in the backcourt together later on, a clear sign he’s going to slide into the Hornets’ rotation rather seamlessly. “To me, I felt like I fit right in, it being my first time,” White said. “I fit right in to what they are trying to do. Obviously, some wrinkles here and there in terms of play calling. I messed up two plays there, so I’ve got to get better there. “But, yeah, it was fun for me. Game one for me, I was just trying to impact the game any way that I can not knowing how it would go and just tying to feel it out.”
