NBA draft: royce moving up

[imnclone]

At least from I have seen. This is the first time I have heard Denver mentioned at 20. I think he will go higher yet.

Nuggets Targeting Royce White With No 20 Pick - RealGM Wiretap

 

[ShankinPATs]

I could cheer for the nuggets...could be worse

 

[enisthemenace]

I must not remember Mashburn. The guy I remember, and his game, are nothing like RW.

 

[Cydkar]

Mashburn was a very good 3 point shooter...I don't recall him being like Royce.

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Hasn't he been working out for the Heat a lot?

 

[Illiniclone]

Dallas loves Royce a lot. If he's around at 17 when they pick he won't be around after.

Personally bummed. I wanted the Cavs to snatch him with the Lakers pick. But I'll be happy for him if he goes higher of course. Don't want him to go to the Heat though, I hate LeBron.

 

[CyBer]

Don't want him to go to the Heat or the Lakers.

Personally, I don't care where he goes as long as it's a good system where Royce can succeed in. I'd like to see him go to a team that is frequently on national or local television though:yes:

 

[madcityCY]

Im not huge on the NBA, so wherever he goes, I'll probably cheer for that team. I want to see Royce succeed - even as a role player.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I'm still saying 10-15 spot. I don't follow the NBA either, but I'll watch whoever Royce plays for.

 

[iacyguy]

im honestly just happy for the guy. he got his second chance and took full advantage. he went through a ton of adversity with his anxiety and royce met all of that head on. he worked his butt off (sweat or no sweat ) and became true ames favorite. whichever team drafts royce, will definitely give me a reason to watch the nba regular season again. i could care less if its the heat or the golden state warriors.

I read a tweet from a reporter that said.. "hearing NOLA's big 3 could consist of Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis, and Royce White" keep in mind they have the first and tenth pick. That would be a fun team to watch.

i dont see royce being a starter with many teams in his first couple years. still needs to develop a bit, but when all is said and done i think he will really be a solid player. he probably wont ever put up good numbers or be an all-star but should have a nice long career. i dont follow nba like i used to so i have to ask what teams would royce best fit in with?

I think the length of his career and status in the league will be defined by his ability to defend and rebound. Unless he improves greatly as a shooter (foul shooter), can't see him being a primary scoring option and passing alone I don't think gets him the minutes he needs to develop his game

 

[CycloneNation18]

I think Royce can be a solid contributer the first couple of seasons off the bench as an energy guy who can distribute the ball, get rebounds, and play defense(a la Kenneth Faried). In order for Royce to become a starter in the NBA, he needs to work on his jump shot and free-throw shooting. However his physical strength and natural ball-handling abilities will make him a very solid role player for a great NBA team.

 

[josh4isu]

Royce will have a good, long career. Everyone always says "oh well he cant shoot" .. Well, when did he need to? He was the definition of unguardable in college. Big guy? Hes going past you. Small guy? Your getting backed down. Yes, I do realize the NBA is a different game, but tweaking a jumpshot is one of the easiest things to coach. He has the physical attributes and the natural talent to be a long-term starter in the NBA.

He didnt have to shoot because he had thug life and Chris Allen. Add McGee and Babb, and that team was dangerous. All he has to do is get drafted to a team like Miami, or, well, that's really the only team I can think of.

I want him to go to Miami. Let's just say that.
