Royce White sucks. Dude doesn't rebound, doesn't defend, doesn't score in the post, is slightly under sized and doesn't give a **** about his team or teammates.
Not as quick as Ish and not as explosive either, but he is strong and has a good handle. He can pass too. Improved jumpshooting could definitely open up his game more.
Lol, all Lithuania's hate Rocket's organisation for ruining D-Mo's career and not giving the fair chance, he's not rookie and he is threated worse than that. Way to go Morey.
Defense is the only thing stoping D-Mo to get a chance in NBA, and there is probably no way things will change till Donuts will improve D. Even in D-League he looks poor in D.
I agree that Dmo is too good for the Dleague, but the guy has to at least try and play defense. There's a whole half of the sport that he doesn't play right now. I don't think the Dleague is the answer, but Dmo needs to improve his defense if he wants to get on the court in the NBA. The rockets have plenty of offense; we need guys who can help get stops.
I think developing better lower body strength will help. I see him falling down a lot and getting knocked off balance, kinda like when Yao first came over. He just needs to get stronger so he can at least play position defense. He'll never be a shotblocker, but he can improve from a standpoint of being pushed around.
