Coby White has highlighted the promising season anticipated for the Charlotte Hornets after the departures of LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges.
Moreover, he faces it with particular significance after his extension was confirmed for three years and $74 million.
“We have the opportunity to be a very good team and to surprise a lot of people. And that effort from everyone is translating right now,” he told the Charlotte Observer.
“We have a really good team. We have really good players. I think we have a lot of selfless guys, which will make it easier for everyone to integrate. Many are already training here in Charlotte… And that’s a big step. In August?,” he explained.
“And this isn’t seen too often in the NBA, and it already demonstrates the great commitment from everyone. For us it’s about working together. As a collective. To improve day by day both on and off the court. Because I think we all value that camaraderie off the court a lot. It’s as important as on-court performance,” he acknowledged.
White, 26, arrived last season in a midseason deal from the Chicago Bulls.
In 21 official games he averaged 15.6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
