NO
If the Spurs could get a contract that protects them from his sissy anxiety disorder, would it be worth the risk to take a chance on this guy? He was a baller in college and I believe he destoryed Anthony Davis when they went head-to-head. Thoughts?
Someone will have to take a chance with him. Too much talent.

Even as an Iowa State student myself, I'd pass on him. Not worth wasting a roster spot since we're already wasting one on Nando.
And then have him only play home games because of his fear of flying? No thanks.
If he would get on a ing plane, he'd be a great add but he'd only be available for 2/3 of the games and there's no way Pop would let that affect the team chemistry.
Dude did have a couple of great lines in a few pre-season games though.
Vs. Cleveland
17 minutes - 7 points on 2-3 shooting, 6 reb, 2 assists, a block and a steal. But 5 to's and he fouled out.
Kid has talent but the baggage is going to be too much for the Spurs to bite.
He will fade into oblivion until he can get his mental issues under control. naw.
do it mitch
seriously, he's probably gonna retire.
He was cut by the team that is widely considered the worst in the league, that is obviously tanking the season (traded away its best players for the chance to shutdown Nernelns Noel until 2014-2015), has no interest in winning now, that is planning for the future and plans to play its young players as much as possible to develop their upside. We should take the hint that his condition is really incompatible with his profession.
My best friend is a die-hard Rockets fan and was really high on White when they first got him. Needless to say he soured pretty quickly and would barely wish him on the Mavs.
If the Spurs signed Royce White this would be a typical day with him and Pop about flying
if he can't even make the 76ers u think he could make the spurs this season??
LOL @ the people saying no. This kid has potential. idgaf if he can only play home games. That is good enough for me.
If they signed JHo after his second blown out knee then they won't be looking at Royce who is at least physically healthy.
i think it is more the fact that they need to teach him every single thing about basketball (he's been that bad) while dealing with his bad character.. if you don't have the right mind, it's not worth it.
lol
Dude is out of the NBA after 1 season playing exactly ZERO games as a 1st round pick and people really wanna see the Spurs giving him a chance. He is a massive head-case. It's an easy no.
i wish white would get it together. i don't think the spurs will sign him, but i wish they would. white is a super-diaw. 3/4 with handles, play-making, and defense. i think he'd be fine with limited games. pop could use it as a minute managing device.
Mental illness isn't even this dudes baggage. He's been caught stealing from locker rooms, shoplifting and fighting security guards, and quit on his college team without even telling them.
I repeat mental illness ISN'T the problem with this guy. His problem is being a degenerate loser and having a mental illness to hide behind.
He needs to show that he can play professional ball at ANY level. So far he hasn't. A mid first round pick should dominate the d-league.
I wouldn't be averse to the Toros trading for him. I think since he was a Sixers cut, as long as he was in the last three players they cut, Delaware would own his d-league rights.
