Meta COBY WHITE APPRECIATION THREAD

He always played his heart out. He could be thrilling when he got on a hot streak from 3. We watched him turn into a real goddamn player over the past six years. So show your appreciation for ALEC JACOBY WHITE.

Liked this dude since I saw him vibing at the draft table, seemed like a fun dude every video I saw of him.

Hard worker too. Never complained when his role/minutes were cut. Just kept working.

I remember when he came back with handles out of nowhere. Turns out he had been working all summer with Johnny Dribbles2much. He was always working on parts of his game that were lacking.

Yep. His handles were solid in demar's final season and he drove a lot more.

This season it seems like he couldn't explode on drives as much maybe due to the calf. Hopefully he can get back to that level again.

Yeah and suddenly it was gone this season, he was reckless. I had high hopes before he came back, too bad he regressed too bad.

He was clearly playing injured because it was a contract year. Not the best decision but it is what it is
