saw these highlights this morning...if they let royce play point forward he can be very successful

his passing game is good, but if he wants to be successful in the NBA he has to develop the jump shot
 
Rocye looked good in the highlights, pretty excited to see what he can do once he get comfortable with his teammates and once the coaching staff learns how to play him properly.

Anyone know of anything about the guy that got carted out?

FIFY

But also I don't think he needs that good of a jump shot. He can find guys to score for him, it was night and day when he was out there in terms of him setting someone up.
 
He meeds a go to move more.than better jump shooting. Go to moves are what make players succesful in the nba.
 
Some sweet looking plays. Man, I really don't want RW to end up being a Houston Rocket. Hopefully he gets traded to a team I wouldn't mind cheering for.
 
He also has his teammates back as well

Ultimate Rockets Rockets summary: Dragic?s foul leads to concussion for Blazers? Smith

"On the way off the court, Portland forward Ekene Ibekwe confronted Dragic, with Rockets forward Royce White going back at Ibekwe. “I just go up and go to the ball,â€￾ Dragic said. “I didn’t feel I intended to hit him, but I heard he got up and then fell down.â€￾

White said he stepped in after hearing the 6-9, 220 pound Ibekwe threaten Dragic. “I just went in to defend Zoran,â€￾ White said. “A big guy trying to pick on a little guy, that’s not cool.

“He just said something along the lines ‘I’ll see you after the game.’ I told him, ‘You’ll see me first.’ I don’t think he wants no part of me.â€￾"

Ha. I agree. No one wants any part of Royce like that. Scray Dude if he wanted to be.

Back to Royce's game...The announcers only talk about how many points rookies are putting up. They even call Lamb the "top of the ladder" because of his points. I hope GMs and coaches see what Royce is bringing to the game without the points. Lamb is getting his because of Royce's assists are sick.

Good job by Royce.
 
When I saw that one pass (his underhand zinger from half court) all I could think is some poor camera man is going to get a wake up call sometime this year if a teammate doesn't see that coming. :twitcy:
 
stupid work IT, they have blocked my work PC from installing Adobe flash so I can't watch the video clip :(
 
Everytime I see him in transition, I think about what could have been this year with a true PG and a faster pace.

Lucious, Royce and Clyburn in transition would have been insane.
 
It would be nice if he had the solid jumper to go with his game, but I agree with some on here that he doesn't have to have the solid jump shot to increase his play.

Does Rondo have a solid jump shot? Heck no, but I still consider him the BEST PG in the game today. He's fantastic at distributing the ball at the proper time, with some style/flare to his game. So does Royce, and if the Rockets can utilize him with that big frame, he could really do some damage in the league.

Stop it! Thinking about what could have been will kill me.
 
6 pts, 12 rebounds, 8 assists. Pretty nice line.

And he had about 3 passes where his teammates couldn't finish or handle it well enough. One that comes to mind is a great pass to DMo under the basket, but he bobbled it a split second later and had it stolen. If he wouldn't have bobbled it, it would have been an easy bucket. Another one was to Lamb I think who missed a complete bunny layup.

He also missed a few bunny layups. Could have EASILY had a triple double yesterday.
