    i hope Royce can overcome this, but it seems like Morey knew something like this would happen.. maybe not this soon

    I have someone in my family who suffers from mental illness, and it can be tough.

    I just hope and pray that this kid can get on the court as quickly as possible. Because his talent is amazing

    BTW I hope this pick, doesnt make you question Morey. I still think Morey is a top 5 GM in this league. We just had a rough offseason

    Doubt the two are related at all.

    They probably just took the best player available.

    Exactly, just because they are both African American it doesn't mean they are related.

    If he knew "something like this" would happen, I doubt he would have drafted him.

    Someone working for Les dropped the ball.

    I thought it was the big void left by TWill.

    People must not understand that Royce was this years "high risk" high reward pick.

    Lamb and Jones were the safe picks.

    You didn't watch the grantland documentary of white on draft night?

    Only McHale wanted him; "the whole room" thought he was too risky. The scouts did their job. I'd say if White misses more games than he plays; it will be McHale's neck on the line.
