DMo. White's height and turnovers worry me. I like the post game from DMo a lot. Both have a lot of potential, but it is still potential.
I agree that keeping them both would be ideal. But White does not look to be any better as a SF than Morris. Not quick enough to be a SF and not big enough to be a PF. If he was 6'11" it would be a completely different story. But I really don't see him as displacing Parsons as SF. D-Mo on the other hand has a great future as both a PF and a center. A top 10 pick in this years draft certainly. The guy can do it all. Range, back to the basket game, face up game, great first step and really mobile. If you all like Whites taking it from coast to coast I recommend watching D-Mo tapes.
I was dreading the day someone would bring this choice to light. I truly have no clue....and it hurts me to even have to consider it. I'd probably ship off Royce and cry about it for weeks. Reasoning being...you have to be impressed with the strides D-Mo made in only one year. He was a top 5-10 prospect for years and he came out too late and after too many teams got a bad taste in their mouth from wondering about his work ethic and physicality. Well know he seems to have developed both of those. Plus, doesn't he just seem like the kind of guy who will find his spot in the league no matter what. White's game is incredibly intriguing, but there is a real chance he could never find his niche. He obviously could really benefit from the right system, team and coach. But I could also see his skill set being negated by the wrong system, team and coach. D-Mo....his game translates. One way or another, he'll find his strengths and be that guy.
My uncle looks like Ralph Sampson.. Maybe he's worth a look. You had the first part right. 7 footer who will be boom or bust. However, White resembles LBJ like Scott Machado resembles Steven Nash. You're bridging the Grand Canyon with toothpicks. That said, I do like White. I think he will have the best rookie year of any current Rocket. I still see D-Mo & Lamb developing into better players down the road in 2-3 years in.
I agree, but keep in mind, Royce produced his body of work after not playing basketball at all for 2 years. It was his first season of competitive ball for quite a while, so he's got scope to improve greatly as well. It's crazy ...
And your opinion is just your opinion. I fail to see why you had to insult the guy for simply disagreeing with you. On topic, I would keep Donatas, but would prefer to keep both. White may turn out to be special. I think Motiejūnas already is.
