    I doubt they'd draft him (they have enough bigs), but they didn't have a pick. They traded their pick for Marko Jaric years ago.

    Clutch, what were you going to ask him?

    What did he say when they asked him why he's not scared of being in front of cameras? Can't make out the second part of his answer...

    Minnesota didn't have a first round pick.

    you think adelman would've put up with the whole not showing up to training camp ordeal?

    no way. royce would be in a permanent dog house under rick adelman, and the twolves probably knew that

    By definition, this past week's events are already a thing of the past now.

    Clutch, was there a noticeable difference in how soft or hard his body is when you pinched him?

    He in camp WITHOUT a deal being worked out in relation to his travel wants, so I would say he could be trusted, just a smidge.

    He's there now....

    You wont think about this again once the season starts and he's at EVERY game!

    Minnesota had a pick and traded it for Chase Budinger(and we took Terrence Jones).

    Thanks for posting the videos, Clutch.

    For those who didn't get a chance to see White during the summer league, here's a highlight from one of the games:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncol0AUiFXE


    Highlights from college:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TEFrnwTsU4

    Commentator: "He leads the team in scoring, rebounding, assists, blocks, and steals. He can shoot it, he can pass it. He's physical."

    Really excited about all our rooks, but most especially White. As long as he manages his condition, I think he can develop into something special.

    Did he explain why this deal couldn't work out BEFORE the training camp? The whole thing seems like an unnecessary drama.

    I hope his traveling by bus won't affect any games. I can't imagine how he will do it with winter coming. There will be long distance commute and the road condition may not be great in a certain places.

    I look forward to white, his basketball iq is very high, his versatility will command minutes and frankly he's probably the most talented power forward on our roster. I look forward to see what he can do.

    He didn't ask for it until recently, had anxiety over asking prior to that.

    Seems to me he will fly to the far games and bus it to the close ones...

    Like when the Rox have west coast games when they play Portland, Golden State, Sacramento, Lakers and Clippers....he will bus it to the games after the first?

    same for east coast games

    When we're home (41 games) were home...he good.

    Games against San Antonio, New Orleans, Dallas, OKC, (close to home), he'll bus his way to those...

    The FAR 1000+ mile games.....he'll fly....

    If it's extended road trips, they are usually within reasonable distances from each other, so he probably will ride the bus once he has flown in for the first game...then fly back home after the last game on that trip.

    It's his money he wasting on bus and gas...but if that's whats he feels he needs...let him...

    Long as he makes it to the games...all good.

    But they could have had one if they didn't take Bud off our hands. I know RA loves Bud, but White is the ideal guy for RA's offense.
