Royce White anyone?

[droopdog7]

I've seen his name to the celts on a couple of mocks and am intrigued by the possibility.  Obviously, he has issues on at least two fronts.  But were he available, white might represent the best talent remaining.

[Who]

I like him. Definitely on my shortlist.

[Celtics4ever]

He was a manchild in the game vs. Kentucky this year.   I would love to have him.

[aporel#18]

I'd love to have him in green next year. Can't shoot, just like Rondo when Danny drafted him, and that (and anxiety problems) is why he could be on the board when the Cs pick while being probably a top 5 in terms of talent.

certainly a top 10 talent in this years draft . The guys is basically a Rondo at the PF position. Would be great to have to run the offense through for the second unit . I would definitely take him if he is there . Already has a Karl Malone type body and a pretty good rebounder too averaging 9 per game last year.

They say he is a rich man's Anthony Mason. I lived in NYC when he played for the Knicks, he was awesome. Getting White at 21 or 22 would be perfect.

How is his anxiety attacks doing? Thats only thging that concern me. Had fear of flying what I heard. Playing in the NBA is nothing but flying. If he is over that, then i have no prblem picking him

Maybe as part of the combine, they can put him on a few consecutive transcontinental flights, and hook him up to heart, breathing, and brain sensors before, during, and after the flights.

They could do some mid-air turbulance drills, and also see if he has a high PTA ratio to the flight attendants. That's Polite to Azzhole ratio for the outsiders.

The team that drafts him could very well watch him have a nervous breakdown within a month or two of constant air travel.

The thing is, if he can't shoot, how's he a top 5 player in terms of talent?

Nor can he make free throws. He is shooting under 59% I believe. Lots of red flags and very poor shooting.  So not a lock to succeed in the nba.

hmmmm kinda sounds like Rondo at kentucky......

[arambone]

I also hope Danny considers Royce White even if he might not be well advised to make a couple/few road trips over the course of the season. It might be a big distraction to the team though, with reporters asking everybody if they expect Royce to make the next flight.

But
42 home games
7 games in NY and PHi (driveable)

That's 51 games without ever getting on a plane. If he made it to half of the remaining road games, that's 65-66 games.

Make him sukk it up for the play-offs, and he should be fine.

But start making him get on a plane all the time, that's where the real danger of a career-ending meltdown rises substantially.

It's a lot of distraction and stress on a locker room, assuming  his other historic anti-social malevolence is under control.

Let's see how he looks at the televised Combine.

Dwight Howard can't shoot either, even now, and he was the first pick in 2004. Royce can play point forward, he can drive to the basket and is strong as a rock.

Of course Royce is not a lock to succeed. If he could shoot he'd be a top 3 pick.

We have two picks, so we can afford to take a chance on him. Take another quality player with the other first rounder, or trade it for something better.

If a team is willing to work with his anxiety and flying issues, they can be managed. I have suffered from both and with work they are completely controllable. The team that will work and help this guy is going to get a player.

I live in Houston so I see plenty of Big 12 Basketball. This guy is the real deal, trust me.

Anyone who can go coast to coast and take it to the house on Anthony Davis is bad.....
