[Video] Royce White highlights vs. Maine Red Claws (2/12/2013)

Thanks for the update.

 

Thanks crab.

Tbh I was pretty disappointed in the play of Jones, Smith & White. White is just fat and clearly out of shape. After playing about two regulation minutes he looked like he was out of breath and he was laggard at moving around the court and has appalling lateral movement.

Jones reminds me of Marcus Morris 2.0 except with better athleticism and minus a three point shot.

Greg Smith bullies a lot of D-Leaguers, I'm not sure if his post game will translate against NBA centres and quite frankly, he just doesn't look to have the acumen or length to be a good defensive anchor.

 

But yeah, I could see how an in shape and motivated Royce White would be unreal. The problem is he's a headcase and there's been a long history of talented headcases that never succeeded.

 

Geez I didn't realize White had so much talent. He could be scary good. No wonder Morey took a gamble on him.

 

Thanks, Crabdribbles! You're the man!

 

Thanks for the vid

Had to play it on mute because the commentator was yelling at mundane plays

 

His passing is unreal.

 

His court-vision is absurd. Some players have it... most don't.

And he'll definitely make some sportscenter highlights with his overly fancy passing. (Could tone it down a bit.)

 

More than his passing...its kinda cool to see a big man maintain his dribble the way he does...he just is too weird...but i guess this is the first step

 

really dissapointing how out of shape he was

With people doubting you and already beind the eightball, would think he would want to overcompensate by staying in shape so he could be ready to go when the time came.

 

He looks a bit fat. He can handle the ball pretty well and has a nack for finding open guys, but seems he has a bit show off style of play. Not sure that's ever going to work in a Kevin McHale scheme.

 

i like the way he initiates contact in the paint and grabs rebounds. he's probably our best rebounder besides Asik.

 

Ironically White stated recently he figured a month or two ago they were one step away from coming to a resolution and he would be reporting to the Vipers so you would think he would be working out like crazy. The guy is just not motivated to be basketball player or was lying and thought he would never play a single game. Anyways, thanks for the upload! Despite all of this, he's such a talent that you would love to see him succeed and do some of that on the NBA level.

 

He has always had a body type like that throughout college. He prefers to stay a little bulked up so that way he can bang down low against people and maintain a mismatch agaisnt both big guys with his handling ability and against smaller guys with his size.

The main concern was just his conditioning really, which makes sense because even people who come in looking in great shape can get gassed pretty quickly once they are actually out there in a game situation.

 

I hate this guy, but man, he really does play like a star.

 

I don't hate the guy but hate the way he screwed around the rockets around for half a season albeit due to his mental problems.

I do agree with you that he has tremendous talent and I'm starting to regain a little optimism with respect to his possible contribution to the rockets

 

Not all that impressive TBH, some fancy passes, but looked slow, lacked explosion, and quickness.

Could be that he is just way out of shape, but that is how he looked in the preseason too, where he struggled against bigger/quicker players.

Looks like another stretch 4 to me. He's got great handles and vision, but really needs a jumpshot. I think he aired a couple of 3s. Luckily, he's got what you can't teach and doesn't have what can be taught.

 

A little annoyed at how he grabbed all the boards with one hand. I guess if you're open that's cool but he tried it in traffic and dropped it
