Royce White prepared to leave NBA

Royce White@Highway_30 I'm not PLANNING on quitting, but its between my HEALTH and BASKETBALL, health takes precedence. You should never choose ANYTHING over it.
I forget Royce is still just 21 years old, sometimes. He has a ton of demands on him, some of his own doing, but still far more than the average 21-year old. I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing for him to get a buyout, follow his other dreams, and work at getting his illness under control in a different setting. Many young people make mistakes, it's just that most don't deal with losing the kind of $$ that Royce is.
He was getting made fun of pretty bad on the Sacramento, CA sports station I was streaming today. Public opinion of him is pretty damn low right now. I even named my dog Royce, I'm pretty disappointed in the way he's been carrying himself lately.
I really don't understand this whole thing. It's not like he had NO IDEA what he was getting himself into when he signed up. I am highly doubtful that he ever sees the floor for an NBA team. Not really sure why the hurry to leave ISU with the mindset that he now seems to have...
See, this is why you shouldn't go to psychiatrists...they'll fill you full of bs like this.
I support Royce 100%, but at this point it looks grim. It is always darkest before the dawn, and hopefully he is playing soon.
This hurts FH and relations with the NBA, because he pulled some major strings to get Royce to that position and throwing down the drain. Hurts the Rockets, hurts the Cyclones and hurts himself. Just wow.
If he's deciding he can't, or doesn't want to do basketball anymore, that's fine I guess. Just sorta think he should have given it more thought before going through the draft last year. If it was even a possibility that he wasn't going to be able to go through with it he could have stayed in Ames and bought himself more time to work on that stuff. He was getting paid to get a college education. At least that would have been a success story for people with GAO whether he ever played another minute of college or pro ball.
Mental illness is serious business. Royce knows that better than anybody. Why did he take the leap to the Rockets when this was a forseeable result?
