Royce White is a better point guard than Scott Machado.

 

hmmm not saying much Scottie has been struggling

 

Royce needs to play the 4 or 5 as he needs to be defending and rebounding under the basket. He can then start a fast break when he rebounds.

 

From what I notice he is very very good at boxing people out, and if he was on the court he would probably be the second best rebounder after Asik

 

I think you are making too much out of a D league game, Motiejunas was a beast on the boards for the Vipers, does that mean he's the Rockets second best rebounder?

 

It's not "a" d-league game, White has always been a very good rebounder ever since college (and in summer league as well)

White has an NBA body who has shown a lot of talent at a high tier competition, and basic fundamentals like these which some of our starting guys still fail to grasp tells a lot about a player, regardless of competition.

 

Corrected, I stand.

You sir, have better eyes than I.

 

Huh? No way he can get primary minutes at the 5. White running pick and pop takes the ball out of Harden's and Lin's hands and Lin has already struggled without the ball. White can't shoot well enough to be the screener on a pick and pop. As the screener on PNR his skills are better used.

 

Looks like Royce will be playing tonight in Frisco near Dallas. I am headed to the game since I live near by. Pretty cool how the timing is working out. Anyone else going to this against the Texas Legends?

 

Royce looked really slim in those interview videos, quite the opposite of the fat blob on the court. Sad because he could've helped us out with rebounding and having another playmaker wouldn't hurt, but in this shape he needs at least a month to even be considered by McHale to be on the bench I reckon.

 

Still rounding into shape.

 

Spent all summer shaping into round.

 

apart from his vision and passing

i love that he plays tough.. will mix it with the big boys down low..

wont back down from a fight

Asik and white defending and rebounding down low...will improve our team
