    Sensationalized headline. The article states Morey said "it could be argued that he is the worst First Round pick ever." Well, is he wrong? It certainly could be argued.

    This trash doesn't deserve our attention.

    And neither does Royce White.

    Royce White's problem is not anxiety, it's his narcissistic personality disorder. Hell the dude went so far as to say he thought he was one of the better performers in Philly training camp, just before he got cut. How delusional is that?

    And to KD who says that he did not eat his way out of the league...he did. Did you see Royce's body habitués when he was a member of the Rockets? Ridiculous. And all bc McHale wanted to do one of his buddies, the Iowa coach, a solid. Nepotism at its worst.

    Maybe KD has family with some health issues. My in laws are dealing with mental issues with their son and it can make people pretty sensitive to this topic. No judgement. Just I could see where he is coming from.

    Problem is that Royce doesn't look good in this whole situation. Maybe he can play for Denver to take the edge off.

    When an NBA team knowing full well of the fear a player has about flights invests a first round draft pick, they have already looked passed the illness aspect. They just wanted to know if the guy could play. Nothing that he showed in the preseason or in the DLeague showed that he could be a consistent and productive NBA player. Instead he masqueraded behind his illness and conned a team into drafting him, providing accommodations above and beyond all the other picks, and had the stones to not show up for team sessions/practices.

    This writer is total fecal matter with his assessment of the Royce White situation and I know that he totally worked DMorey's statement into a piece that gets hits online.

    Finally, all that we need to know is that Royce White was an epic fail for the DMorey administration. Not because of his illness, but rather because the team invested for a future of a NBA player and that he chose to toss it all away. Royce White quit on this team. He prioritized everything else except basketball...The only thing a team really cares about.

    Royce White was until Anthony Bennett, there's a dude who would have been more useful if he didn't ever play a minute.

    Sorry Daryl, you've been trumped
