Royce White Enters the NBA Draft

Few people know what to make of the versatile Iowa State star Royce White, but NBA scouts are about to try.

 White has point guard skills in a power forward's body, but these are the aforementioned concerns: 

"Though the 'cons' don't necessarily outweigh the 'pros,' they are certainly greater in number. For one, White has an anxiety disorder that gets in the way of flight travel. In a perfect world, all would be patient with White on this issue. I'm just not sure NBA coaches necessarily want to look after a rookie to this degree."

So, there are risk factors here.

But the league is also in need of some point forwards, with Lamar Odom and Boris Diaw both turning in some hideous seasons.

The point forward is an alluringly-quirky position—there is something just so satisfying about seeing a big guy go coast to coast.

Here's to hoping White can do so literally (the travel issue) and figuratively in the NBA. 

Recommended teams for White: Boston, San Antonio, Miami—pretty much any team that has a stable roster and a patient organization.
