Royce ALMOST had a triple-double tonight

Does the biffed free throw count as an airball? Surely that has to count for about 3 airballs in the stats column
People love to rip on Royce White and then turn around and praise him. I don't get it. The guy has flaws in his game but he does a ton of good things on the floor.

You have to admit that was pretty funny though. Royce is a stud, but he had a lot of airballs, what else can you say?
I love the kid, but his FT shooting really hurts the team. There is no consequence to fouling him.
Obviously he will have his bad moments, but when he has them they are ugly. He shouldn't be shooting threes at all. If he's open enough to even think about shooting a three, he is open enough to get in the paint.
guess what, Royce is basically a Freshman, he is good, will be great next year, just pray he stays!!!

He's hurting the team, except of course the other 95% of the time when he is playing winning basketball. He has a weakness at FT's. That's it.
I'm not saying he doesn't do a lot of things very well. He's our best and most valuable player. But the FT shooting is a huge problem. We run the offense through him for the most part and there is no consequence to fouling him. That is a fatal flaw if the goal is to win games and not have cool stat lines.

I'm sure he's working hard. With the effort he gives us each night, I am happy he's here and I just root for him to make more free throws each game.

As bad as it is, it's probably at least half mental, especially when missing everything. May want to try something new like shoot it like a jump shot or something. My point is that it does hurt, but without Royce, the games might not be close enough for it to matter.
REALLY, another post about his free throw shooting? We all know it sucks, but without him he get blow away. He leads our team in scoring, rebounding, and assists per game. If you watch he is making slight adjustments every game on his FT attempts, half of it is Mental at this point. He is working on it before and after practice quit dogging on it, the same thing that makes him a great player is also what makes him a bad FT shooter. It will get better with time, but will probably be lousy for the rest of the year. I think he improves 15% next year.
