Fresh off a plane and finally inside the Toyota Center with a new cast of characters, Coby White stood on the baseline while the activity buzzed around him. A whirlwind was semi-complete and White couldn’t have been more thrilled.
“As soon as I touched down, I felt wanted,” White told The Charlotte Observer in a quiet moment before the Charlotte Hornets took on the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. “I called my family, and I’m like, ‘Everybody here is just super-welcoming and super-nice. And they keep talking about long term, long term, long term.’ And just hearing that somewhere where you’re valued for a long term, especially being back home, it means a lot.”
