He just has to turn EVERYTHING into a drama...Seems like he has no interest in expanding his game to become a better pro either.

 

A few nice plays in the first half for Tyler Honeycutt, too, including a nice pass to White towards the end of the first half. Honeycutt is pretty athletic from what I've seen.

 

What an arrogant prick, he really doesn't understand that he's been under performing and that is the first game he's really shown his all round game? That attitude won't get you any playing time with the Rockets!!

 

Don't worry, he won't be able to do it again.

 

Yeah, he was just a victim of the numbers game.

 

Rockets'/RGV scout Jimmy Paulis during the halftime show. They asked him if Royce would be called up - he said it's a day-by-day thing. They both agreed it's been kind of weird year (unlike any other player's) for White. lol.

 

I hope Royce proves to be worth the trouble, but I'm not holding my breath.

But that was an impressive game.

 

not that I want/think it will happen, but is there a drop dead date to call Royce up in time for the playoffs?

 

It is true though. he doesnt look to score unless he has to, he would rather create a situation where he can find an open teammate for an easy bucket. If RW scored in the 20's in college, it usually meant our team wasn't doing well and he was trying to carry us. You run the offense through him, and you will keep seeing good numbers.

 

Sorry that I haven't posted Royce's highlights from this game, I've been in a hotel for the past week and haven't had a good wi-fi connection. I should be back home on Thursday though, so I'll post it by this weekend.

 

He can't even take a damn compliment. Jesus, this guy...

 

Thanks man really appreciate those videos and look forward to them.

 

I try to never say anything negative about another person and always try to look for the good in people, but DUDE!! Come on. Not everyone has a vendetta against you. And you are not the Ghandi nor the MLK of the NBA. Stop acting like it. It is a shame to compare yourself these people.

 

That would be wonderful! The RGV section would suffer greatly without you.

 

This is true. The Dleague site highlights are terrible compared to what you post Crab.

 

It is cool that Royce sacrificed and does something that he doesn't like for the good of the team.

 

Royce White is unlikely to play for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers during the postseason, sources told Mark Berman of Fox 26.
White is not going to spend a single second on the court for the Rockets during the regular season and it's not clear what his future holds after an up-and-down first year. His contract is guaranteed for next season.

Why is he unlikely to play?
