Coby White may be goofy but he has serious expectations for his rookie season

Posted Aug 24, 2019
Coby White’s hair complements his personality. His older brother, Will, called him ‘‘goofy.’’ ‘‘You’re right,’’ Coby said, gesturing to Will. ‘‘I like to laugh and I like to have fun. You can’t go through life being serious all the time.’’ White knows to dial back his daffiness when he’s on the court. And the 19-year-old has high expectations for his first NBA season.
