​Following the LaMelo Ball trade, Hornets head coach Charles Lee spoke about Coby White running Charlotte’s offense for the first time as a starter since acquiring him from the Chicago Bulls last February.”It’s going to look differently with him at the helm. I’m excited about what he brings to that defensive side of the floor,” said Lee. “Then offensively, he’s able to stretch the floor with his ability to shoot threes. He’s able to get to the free throw line.”Lee also shared that he wants White to be himself, rather than try to emulate Ball. In 21 games for the Hornets last season, White added a scoring punch off the bench, averaging 15.6 points in 19 minutes to go along with three rebounds and three assists while shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc.Now moving into the starting lineup with Charlotte, Lee and the Hornets staff will hope that White can increase his defensive numbers after averaging just 0.2 steals during his time with the team despite his career average of 0.7.This article originally appeared on Rookie Wire: Hornets head coach Charles Lee discusses Coby White running the offense
