Coby White has made a consistent impact from the Chicago Bulls bench for much of the season, and his potential was on show last week as he recorded back-to-back 33-point performances. During games against the Wizards and Suns, White shot 55 percent from the field, while also knocking down 12 of his 22 attempts from beyond the arc. Throughout the month of February, White holds averages of 17.7 points and 4.4 assists - and Jim Boylen will face renewed calls to insert the 20-year-old into his starting lineup for the final months of the season.


#3 Kendrick Nunn - Miami Heat

The Miami Heat have struggled following the All-Star break, although Kendrick Nunn appears to have overcome his recent shooting woes. Nunn recorded 14 points in 23 minutes against the Hawks before contributing 24 points and 8 assists during a rare recent Miami win over the Cavaliers.

Nunn also posted 22 points during Miami's trip to Cleveland on Monday, and the shooting guard holds season averages of 15.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 30.1 minutes. The 24-year-old will need to continue to improve over the last two months to get back among the frontrunners, although he is heading in the right direction after a strong week.
