Royce White

[SilverSpur]

Royce White a former no. 1 draft pick was offered a summer leauge spot with the Spurs.
He's young, 24 and stands 6'8".
He had anxiety issues while flying in planes when he was last in the NBA.
What do you guys think.

[TXstbobcat]

I would say pass but it's only a summer league invite to see what he's got.

[Bartleby]

I think you missed the other thread about this.

[FkLA]

[FireMicoHalili]

Feels like the guy is just looking to make a few more million dollars before he peters out again

[EVAY]

I think you can buy a lot of anti-anxiety meds for what a league minimum contract pays.

[DJR210]

We need a church of Royce White thread already.

Arkham Asylum, more like.

I think that got. RC has gone off the deep end if he brings this guy in. I don't care if he's the LeBron of the summer league, no mental midgets like that after the fiasco with Rodman.

[tholdren]

does it matter if we respond? obviously you cant read, or you would have looked at the other thread.

but yeah, lets trade him for Leonard

there's a lot of anger here, and i sense that it's justified.

[InRareForm]

lol gtfo

[FireMicoHalili]

just went through his draft pages...no wonder Spurs like him.
(a) 7'0" wingspan
(b) allegedly a good passer
(c) would be a great PR move for the Spurs FO, and with a low risk

[Johnny RIngo]

2014 off-season:
-Stand pat and don't use the MLE
-Give a declining point guard a $45 mil extension
-Expect Austin Daye and rookie Kyle Anderson to shore up the holes in the rotation

2015 off-season:
-targeting Rockets trash like Royce White, a dude who suffers from mental health problems

Pop and Buford clearly don't give a anymore. These two called it a day after number 5.

[Darius Bieber]

He wasn't a #1 pick, I believe he went like 16th to the Rockets.

[jeebus]

If we can get him for the minimum, why not?

[KaiRMD1]

This loser is still around?

[DPG21920]

I hope ST is not serious with this. It's a SL invite, one he hasn't even accepted yet . For every Rodman, there is a Stephen Jackson. Getting a cheap, harmless look at someones actual game plus time to evaluate them mentally is a no-brainer. There is absolutely no risk here and it's SL.

[ChumpDumper]

ST is serious.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I really should've known that ST would act like the basketball world is burning down with this news. It's a summer league invite, not the all the cap room. At this point, he's basically nothing more than a Ryan Richards level player in the team's eyes.

[DPG21920]

It's not even that. You have to fill out the SL roster. Sometimes you do it for multiple reasons: Giving a guy that has been loyal, but has no shot at making your team a spot (Toros/Austin Spurs guys at times) / Guys with interesting pasts but talent / 2nd chance guys / draft picks

There's literally a ton of reasons but at the end of the day, teams are stretching to fill SL rosters

[K...]

Is he eligible for the Austin SPurs? that seems like a good place for him.

[ChumpDumper]

It's possible, but some things have to happen first. No need to get ahead of ourselves. Let's see if he's Diaw Jr. in SL if he takes the invite.
