Probably hung over and up late celebrating.

Celebrating that he fell out of the lottery and almost out of the first round?

Celebrating that he became a millionaire over night just for playing a game that he loves! I’d definitely be hungover, too.

Does seem shortsighted by organizations to schedule calls the next morning, especially with time zone differences. You know they’ll be partying all night and hungover, so why not let them get a bit of rest and schedule the call in the early afternoon?

Robert Williams said he went to a relative's house last night right after the draft and went to sleep because he was so tired. His sister informed him this morning about the missed conference call.

very true but it is Friday. Most offices want to leave work around early afternoon, or you're already mentally checked out by that time . But I guess they should make the exception for the day after the draft.

Celtics not concerned, appears a simple miscommunication. But a fun start to the Robert Williams era nonetheless.Chris Forsberg added,

Hopefully this.
But maybe not. He just seems like he has a habit of blowing off things:

* Blew off the combine (was supposed to be there but was didn't show)
* No-show at the draft (only first rounder that wasn't there?)
* Blew off the conference call with the team that drafted him.

He was also suspended for 2 games by his team, and only started 40 of the 61 games he played. It just isn't a great look for someone who supposedly has lottery talent.

well when you're picking at 27 you kind of have troubled players around that area

It really doesn't matter. We are stacked at the 5, Williams won't make or break us. If he can play his role off the bench, we will be solid. Not a tall task

That is true, the no-show is incorrect. Someone from Twitter reported that Robert Williams had informed them a few hours before that he wouldn't be attending.

Conference call, ehh... Questionable, but it happens, plus he probably partied/went out.

He was suspended 2 games, but the reasoning wasn't mentioned.

Ainge has done his due diligence and believes Williams will pan out, so with the 27th pick you're going to have a flawed player. Let's just hope he gets it together.

Once, it happens. Three times, you have a pattern of not caring to show up for important things.

Also, somehow it didn't happen to anyone else at the draft. This guy has Royce White written all over him.

That's how it is, though. If you want talent at 27, you need to take in damaged goods.

Didn't Royce White have some major metal health issues?

lol true. All we can hope is he fixes his issues. The good thing is he will not make or break this team because we have a lot of talent as is

yes Royce suffers from serious anxiety issues. Also he mentioned nba teams at the time didn't have much mental health personnel on staff

My recollection is that he just blew his obligations, then complained that NBA "lacks protocol" for mental health issues -- whatever that was supposed to mean. In general, he didn't strike me as someone who cared enough about his NBA career, issues or no issues.

who knows



Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, however, said there have been "internal repercussions which I'm not going to talk about."

More foreboding, Alexander's confidence in White's long-term prospects seemed shaken since his enthusiasm with White's potential during the summer league in Las Vegas.

"That's tenuous," Alexander said. "It's tough to talk about something like that. I think we're going to handle it internally. If he doesn't work out, well, it's tough to lose a draft choice."

...

[Kelvin] Sampson, serving as Rockets head coach with Kevin McHale on a leave of absence, directed questions to Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, but Morey did not respond to messages although issued this statement: "Royce is not available right now. We are committed to his long term success and we will continue to support him now and going forward."

"I'm not sure," Sampson said when asked why White did not attend practice. "I haven't talked to Daryl. I didn't realize he (White) wasn't here today until we got to practice. I'm not sure what's wrong right now. We talked to Scott and D-Mo last night. Royce wasn't at the game last night as far as I know."

White and his agent, Andrew Vye, did not return messages seeking comment.

Morey has often pointed out that White's anxiety issues had not caused him to miss games or practices at Iowa State. With the Rockets, however, he has already missed a week of training camp and several practices, though it was not clear if Tuesday's absence was related to his anxiety disorder.

He's not an employee yet. No contract, and under no obligation to do pep rallies for the team.

He entered the draft voluntarily. The Celts own his rights. His lack of professionalism could lead to him getting less than the full 120% rookie scale, or lead to his teammates not trusting him.

Obligation or not, he should act like a professional.
