I beleive its in the Sports Illustrated article that they did on him.....I will have to find it. Whatever article it is, its been posted all over the internet.
Here is the quote from the article. First talking about how he dominated Kentucky (the team he turned down and instead played for ISU) Then how nobody wwanted to face him. "Davis would allow that "Royce was beating us by himself"—outrunning the likely No. 1 selection down the floor, abusing lottery lock Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with spin moves, besieging the rim. In the end, zero projected top 15 picks agreed to work out against White for NBA teams. Doing so would be best described as high risk, low reward." You guys need to do some research.
Royce is the guy I wanted in this draft over everyone not named Davis and Robinson. He will be a better sf in the league than mkg. What I really like about Royce is he elevated his game to higher levels when facing the 2 best teams in college last yr and also looked like the best player on the court. This guys game is made for the nba, With more spacing, pick and roll and isolation being key in the nba these are the things that Royce excells at. I have seen Royce play quite a bit this past yr an in my honest opinion I think he's a sf at the next level guy has elite athletism for a guy his size and as long as he can move his feet an play good team defense he will be a superstar hea just so talented. I'm really happy with this pick. Morey couldn't get into the top 10 but he got IMO a swing for the fences top 5 prospect in this draft who I think is the best wing in the draft. We may have finally found our guy I really hope so cause we could use a guy like Royce to take over the team.
I really like the pick... felt he could have been selected 18 but dont mind him at 16 at all... guys game screams morey-type player... I know alot of people are upset right now( you should honestly wait untill offseason is over to pass judgement )but i really think this guy will be a major player...
what can i say about Royce White. Another great pick. 7 foot wingspan 5 assists per 30 minutes best handles i've seen on a college big-man outstanding rebounder he has a very special skill-set, and i can't wait to see what he can do. Again, i don't care about need or position at this point; i care about talent. This kid is a special talent. We got a lot more talented last night
Man, watching Royce's highlights is so much fun. This guy passes like freakin' Rubio. I'm convinced we have a star. This guy is gonna shut many haters up.
Don't get me wrong... I am all for getting "more talented" but... ... the Rox need to move some PFs down the road PDQ... hopefully for a quality center. I wouldn't be shocked to see 2 of the 3 first round players traded soon...
I think it's safe to assume that... ... even the haters hope they are proven wrong and these guys (if they aren't traded) develop into stars or (at least) successful NBA players. If they stay with Houston, let's give them a fair chance...
Why do all of your posts start with a bolded line. And why are you spamming the same stuff in multiple threads. So tired of the weird-ass trolls on this board.
Remember how you felt during the draft, waiting to see what would happen? Multiply by an indefinite number, drink twelve cups of coffee in ten minutes, take a flight in a 50 year old Royal Jordanian Airlines prop job during a thunder storm at night, and get dumped by your girlfriend 10 minutes before the concert starts that you paid $300 bucks to take her to see. Anxiety issues, dude.
I like the way BEARCLAW posts personally lol. Better than DD and Rocket River (the writing style, not the content), no offense to those guys.
I have a friend who has anxiety issues and its really really tough to deal with. Can't be explained. That said, it's not like its going to be his first time playing basketball infront of a crowd. He'll need sometime to adapt and get used to his new life - just like in college - but he'll come around and be just fine IMO.
