PETITION: Morey/McHale... Please play Royce White at PG in Summer League!!!

me likey

 

I say give him some time playing down low against legit competition. Watching him now.... Has trouble holding his position on defense and finishing above the rim and in traffic.... just like most other rookies! He's not a PG right now and won't be. SF or PF fa sho!

 

Probably a year away from seeing his true potential, the team has to decide whether his best usage would be as a SF or PF, so he can get used to playing mainly against those type of players. But as far as ceiling goes, only Montejunas, due to his size, may have a higher one among our rookies if he can pull all his talents together.

 

After watching todays game on dvr I think he might be really good once the Rox figure out how to use him.

 

I'm thinking he should play the role he played at Iowa State.

 

What he did today reminded me a lot of his play at ISU, but he was usually a more dominant force for scoring, but it happens. I think once the players learn what he's doing, they'll get better.

For example, at ISU he often would pass the ball and screen a defender or two leaving the shooter wide open for a shot. What I've seen out of the players in the first three SL games is basically cutting the wrong way when he does this and putting themselves in a position to be "caught" by the defender. They'll probably learn more by playing with him the right way to go or stay there and take the shot.

 

I feel he'll be the second coming of chuck hayes. Not on D of course but just the way he fits in with the team. He'll be a fan favorite, 6th man or solid starter.

He's strong, a great rebounder, a great passer and is very smart. He'll probably be the coaches best friend, always in the right spot doing something productive and helping the team in every way he can to win. I don't know how well is leadership is or how vocal he'll be in the locker room but i could see him really growing into that type of guy.

Idk though, just a feeling lol.

 

Seriously, the offensive flow was much better when White was on the court.

 

Adelman would know how to use a big man who can pass.

 

does it make it any different than all the other repetitive threads about players? did I even insult/scold or mean any harm in that statement at all? (no).

 

I prefer Popovich

 

LeBron is trashy. Royce is classy.

 

Im impressed at the precision of some of his passes...its crazy seeing a 6'8, 260 lb dude dropping dimes.

 

Lebron? lol

 

Magic Johnson made a career out of dropping dimes (220 though)

 

Iso plays. He'd be perfect for them aswell as the team. He could either finish or draw another defender to free up someone else.

 

There is a difference between getting an assist and precision passing.

LeBron uses his insane athleticism to draw attention away from teammates...and then feeds them the rock. White doesnt have that advantage, but uses more precise passing.

And White is bigger than LeBron.

 

Do we really have to trade these guys for Dwight Howard.. Is there any chance Bynum could sign with us next year.. when he becomes an unrestricted free-agent

 

F Dwight lets keep the current crew

 

This will be perfect once he starts shooting better.
