Royce White Expected to Make NBA Debut (Presason) Tonight

**marothisu** · 10-15-2012, 06:27 PM

7:30pm Central time. I know the game is on Fox Sports for those of you who have Sports Pack or something like it, but knowing the networks, it'll probably be blacked out.

I'm sure there will be a stream for it online in any case.

I was under the impression missing a couple days of training camp was going to keep him from ever seeing the floor, even in a preseason game?

Okay? Per espn he is listed as the 3rd power forward on the depth chart, and he hasn't seen a preseason minute. I think it's fully possible he starts the season in the d-league.

I don't think he's been demoted to D League status by anybody on the team. Watch the Rockets' practice videos. McHale stays quiet and once Royce has the ball, he is very vocal telling White what to do. As if he knows White will be special if he listens and is spending extra time giving him even more pointers.

Yeah, very possible he could go to the D-league obviously, but we'll see. I am pretty sure he'll find a way onto the roster this year...unless he plays like complete crap during most practices and can't do anything during pre season games. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

White also looks like he's lost about 5 lbs and is a little bit faster running. Not like it's on the same scale, but I do know he played about better than anybody during Summer League and he looked pretty good from what I saw in a few practice videos.

Sweet, it's not blacked out on DirecTV. Guessing it's not on League Pass is why..

The only reason for this is because he missed the first week of camp. There are (at lease were) a good number of articles stating how he could compete for a starting job this year.

Every major media is freaking out about that + his travel stuff, without realizing he can fly (just doesn't like to). They act as if he's completely ****ed himself over, and that if he can't ride to games, he can't get to a game because he'll have to fly. They don't realize that's not the case and they don't know as much about him as they think they do. Of course, the media has been playing off this without mentioning that nobody in the public even knew he had a "fear" of flying until the NCAA tournament, he flew to almost all the games last year, and he flew to ******* Italy and back.
