Royce White Likely To Sign 10-Day Deal With Kings

The Sacramento Kings recently worked out Royce White and will likely sign him to a 10-day deal.

White was drafted 16th overall by the Houston Rockets, but he struggled to adjust to life in the NBA. White has a well-chronicled anxiety disorder.

White would presumably be available for when the Kings have a game at the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, followed by home games against the Minnesota Timberwolves and New Orleans Pelicans. The Kings then go on a seven-game East Coast road trip.

White could also be assigned to the Kings' D-League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns.

Sacramento is trying hard to overtake Cleveland for the "most incompetent franchise" award.

it's a good gamble for a team like the Kings. Royce White has a ton of talent and is very young. Maybe Cousins can mentor him.

I think Cousins is going to hate him.

Cousins is an emotional guy, but a lot of that emotion comes from the frustration of not winning / calls not going his way, etc.  I'm not sure that he'll have a lot of respect for a guy who is willing to air dirty laundry publicly, but won't show up for games and try to win.

As much grief as Cousins gets, he's a hard worker who has improved his game, even after getting a huge contract.  White doesn't seem all that interested in anything other than publicity (which is weird, for a guy with an anxiety disorder) and money.

[timobusa]

If this happens, a camera crew should follow them at all times. This will be some good reality tv.

Yeah. He's misunderstood.

He only does dumb things because of his passion for the game. Unlike other idiots (JR Smith, Bynum).
