I will say though, if these issues are legitimate and not exagerated or just being pushed by his lawyers. Im sure Royce White is just as frustrated as the Rockets are.
No way. The Rockets have to be going crazy inside because of this situation.
I think the problem here is that Royce had all of his "needs" catered to while he was in college. At a university of any size and stature, the last thing you can do is put a student's health in jeopardy, especially if it is a disability. That includes if he or she is a scholarship athlete. Imagine if Iowa State forced Royce White to fly somewhere and he had an panic attack and became seriously ill. Is there anyone who believes that a major lawsuit would not have ensued?
So here you have a guy who, beyond just his sheer talent as a player, had a physical condition that Iowa State most likely bent over backwards to accommodate. He gets drafted into the league and now has to adhere to a 82-game scheduled, with coast-to-coast travel, and back-to-back nights with flights, and he is contractually obligated to adhere to this schedule. I am sure his agent told him before he was drafted that there was a way they could work around this. Of course, that is complete B.S. No professional sports franchise is going to accept missing practices, let alone games, because of his mental disorder. Yes, they probably would give him special accommodations on team flights, in hotels, in the locker room, etc...but they would not allow him to NOT DO HIS JOB!
