In the preseason he has scored 25 total points and his turnovers plus fouls equals 37.  Pretty bad.

Refuses to report to work right out of the gate, is out of shape, and has shown he can't be relied upon.

Not worth the trouble.

...and more to corroborate your position from a poster on RealGM:

Quote
Sixers come to St. Joe's for training camp and I witnessed his antics first-hand in the athletic center. He made the trainer's lives a living hell every day they took his weight and BMI. He would yell at them when they told him he was overweight and needed to fix his diet and had a terrible attitude towards everyone in the building. I agree he is a massive talent but, I just don't think he'll mature enough to the point of being a positive for any team to have. - See more at: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=1279381#sthash.oIPk9CPd.dpuf

An opinion, I understand is all it is, but  it seems to be well founded.

If he thinks having mental health issues is bad, wait until he is poor with mental health issues.  And does being an **** mean you have mental health issues?  If that is the case I've had mental health issues for a long long time.

I think White is one of those guys who might benefit from having to go overseas.  Some players gain perspective and maturity from being forced to do that if they want to keep playing.

He might need maturation...or successful prep for the transatlantic flight would then negate the need for a euro stint in the first place!

If you don't understand the difference between dealing with a single flight that you can schedule at your convenience and dealing with a more rigorous schedule where you may be trying to deal with his problems while also dealing with possible mental fatigue and physical pain, then you really don't understand the nature of his mental illness.


Pleas, this was tongue in cheek. Is there not some inherent humor in telling someone with a fear od flying to fix themselves by going to europe? Though i suppose teavelling by steamer would be pretty fun.

Sad because this guy clearly is talented.

Hopefully he loses the diva syndrome and starts over.
