Are you even reading what we are writing? Of course, I already said he may be a better NBA player in the future! Read the post below.
The thing I DONT agree with you on was you said White was the best player ever at ISU. That is what we have been talking about. Sheesh. Did you ever watch any ISU games when Grayer, Hoibert, Fizer, or Tinsley played? I mean ever? If you did we wouldn't be having this debate. Those 4 were flat out great players at ISU for multiple seasons and other teams game planned against them. Fizer was Big 12 player of the year, something that White certainly didn't do.
White had a great 1 season. But he couldn't shoot FG / FT with any consistency. He had a habit of the bad turnover at the wrong time, and just doesn't yet have the bball IQ that those other players had. It doesn't mean he can't be great in the future. But to not see his faults is silly.
I hope Royce turns into a great NBA player, I like him. He is super talented and gives great effort and hustle every game. I want ISU players to do well in the NBA, I graduated from ISU. But I saw probably 15-20 ISU games this last season, and I don't know if White is a sure thing in the NBA. He is going to need some help to become even a good rotation player in the NBA.
But he just isn't the best bball player ever at ISU. It isn't even a question.
I never said the best alum either. I guess you never saw M Fizer at ISU, sorry you missed out. He was a beast. Big12 player of the year, 1st team all big 12 two years in a row. Yeah siting Fizer really makes me loose cred here...haha.
No way White is a better PLAYER for ISU than Fred Hoiberg, Jeff Grayer, Marcus Fizer, Jamaal Tinsley. I guess I assumed you knew more about ISU. Sorry.
Wow, the best player to play for Iowa State? I don't think so. I went to ISU and saw years and years of big 8 / big 12 bball. White is a great talent, a great physical force, but he just isn't as good a bball player as guys like Fred Hoiberg, Jeff Grayer, Marcus Fizer, Jamaal Tinsley.
Yes he may end up as a better NBA player, but I really don't consider him one of the all time ISU greats. He didn't stay long enough to have that big of an impact.
With a guy like White, I think that a lot of how good he can be will depend on his mentors / coaches. If KG hangs around a couple more years and could be a good mentor, that would help Royce tremendously. If he doesn't have help getting over the pro-learning curve I have my worries, especially in Doc's locker room...
So he's 6'8", can't shoot jump shots or free throws, has poor conditioning, legal troubles and crippling anxiety? Where do I sign up?
Yes hes 6'8" just like Blake Griffin, cant shoot, just like Blake Griffin. Chisseled is the words used by people watching him work out. Legal issues are behind him. Anxiety is being managed. The kid benched 185Lbs, 29 times last week, hes not fat hes extreemly powerful and he has a 7'1" wingspan thats 2" more than blake griffin.
I hope he makes me look as good as Kevin Durant did when nearly all of celtics nation said he was to week and skinny for this league.
He is the best player ever to play for Iowa state period. I know iowa state isnt Kansas but he destroyed Kansas bigs along with every other big he played against this year. And he is killing the bigs during workouts now.
Royce Alexander White. Nickname.....Alexander the great!!!
You seen it here first.
Dr. Don
I said the best player not the best alum. His tallent and effect on the team is unreal.
Marcus Fizer? Really! lol Kinda killed your credability there didnt ya?
uhhh if you think college success translates to the NBA I would disagree. Who care who was the better colleg player, Royce White is going to be really good!
Fred Hoiberg
