    White is:

    bigger
    quicker with the ball
    stronger
    rebounds better

    People were saying he's top 10 talent for a reason.

    Not really,Morris had no handle or passing ability at all. It was quite clear that he had no lateral quickness. Morris does have the ability to post up well though.

    It's in the draft thread. It was a tweet about White being traded but no details.

    What Morris probably has over White tho is his jumpshot and overall scoring.

    Sounds like a guy who needs a lot of work on himself. Hope he finds his direction, but he isn't sounding like a great pick.

    Is Royce black or is he the Blake Griffin variety?

    White hung 18 pts and 17 boards on Kansas in his other contest against them. Big ass, strong guy who is better than creepy M. Morris IMHO

    Against #8 Missou, White had 20 pts, 9 assists & 6 reb while going for 18 pts 9 reb and 5 assists vs. #5 Kansas. People are sleeping on him

    White also had 6 assists or more in 11 of his last 20 games. He has a stong Bball IQ and understands how to play the game.

    Royce White showed up for some of Iowa State's biggest games including 23 pts 9 Reb vs. Kentucky on 9-12 shooting.

    As someone who has overcome the same condition White had, as a result of some PTSD (which sounds like his background), I am psyched that the Rockets brass rolled the dice on him.

    Sometimes you just get better.
