Don't get too excited, but he had big game april 5th putting up 28 pts 9 rebound 6 assist 4 steals and played 35 minutes. Contrast that with the line from his previous game March 30 - DNP - Coach's decision. I wonder if the technicals he was getting was from other teams wanting to get to his head (and succeeding). Perhaps he's understanding how this basketball gravy train works? that it's competition and that competition is bad for humans but if you wanna get paid then you got to put up the work?

Well, that's pretty damning. This whole experiment has been a huge waste for a lot of people. Players, coaches and other staff will be happy to wash their hands of him. It's a shame really because White could have really been an ambassador for mental health issues in sports and the workplace in general, but he'll undoubtedly become a simple foot note in history or a precautionary tale that damages the chances of those who come after Royce. #BeWell #historicalfootnote.
