Shame on the rockets for not accounting for this earlier on. His condition was widely publicized before the draft. They should have had a plan in place from the second he was drafted.
If they did have a plan and its not adequate shame on the rockets, if the plan is reasonable and White isn't playing ball with the team than shame on him
They did have a plan, it sounds like the plan came apart one way or another.
As for the suggestion they hire someone to be with him all the time, I imagine he has no desire for a company babysitter no matter how well credentialed.
Im not really sure how much having a therapist or somebody with him all the time would help. Its a process, its not something that having somebody with you can necessarily help in the moment. This is not a quick fix scenario.
(Im not saying you are suggesting that it is, im just voicing my thoughts on that issue)
He'd never trust someone who is employed by the Rockets based on the acrimony in his statements over this. Without trust the professional would be useless in any capacity.
I agree, my only thing is that this isnt like the Josh Hamilton situation, im not sure having somebody with him would help even if it was somebody of White's choosing.
