@ShamsCharania: Bulls, Pelicans emerging as suitors for Royce White's NBA comeback in July, sources tell RealGM. Former 16th pick is deciding among several.


6'8 260

Immensely talented player out of Iowa State that dealt with anxiety issues.

Thanks to Hank Marducas for seeing this

I'd put him on the Summer League roster for sure. But after that, might not be worth the risk.

Are we gonna sign him to a contract that says he only plays home games? The test should be if he can get through the turbulence thread on the OT without shitting his pants then we'll sign him.

I was enamored with Royce White's game in college. He has an incredibly unique skill set for his size. Not comparable to too many NBA players, but Boris Diaw is a decent comparison although White is more athletic.

White could come in with your second unit and run the point from the 3/4 spot. He has great vision, doesn't need to take a ton of shots, doesn't mind setting screens and doing the dirty work, and is an excellent rebounder.

I thought the 2 biggest sleepers (guys picked outside top 10) in the 2012 draft would be Terrance Jones and Royce White (if he could get his head on straight.) I really wish he would because he would be fun to watch in the league.

filling the roster with second or third tier role players is not the answer to any short/long term Pelican issues. They need a solid point guard and center so my man AD can play his natural 4 spot.
