Hou GM, Daryl Morey: Selecting Royce White Was Worst Pick In NBA History



"I take some sort of pride in that you could argue that Royce White is the worst first-round pick ever," Morey said in a Q&A discussion with Houston season ticketholders, according to the ClutchFans.net blog.

"He's the only one that never played a minute in the NBA that wasn't just a foreign guy staying in Europe," Morey said. "It just shows we swing for the fence."

Go Gophers!!
 

Hopefully, he will always be associated with Iowa State. Go Cyclones.

Lol.

Maybe we should put up a billboard in Ames that reads, "Proud to call you a Cyclone, Roice White. #GoGophers"
 



Ndudi Ebi has to be the first runner-up behind Royce.

Nah, there's gotta be a few in there, considering he was a very late 1st pick, not like a top 15 guy or something. But definitely ranks high on the list.

This isn't true. Clifton McNeely and Gene Melchiorre never played a minute in the BAA/NBA - and they were #1 overall draft picks. There almost certainly have to be more.

Len Bias too (#2 overall).
 



According to Parski's agent, station19, Parski is playing tiddly winks in the Antarctica World Championships.

It isn't just that Royce was a mid lottery, its all the issues that came with Royce. He was a giant non stop headache.
 



Agree, being kept indoors playing tiddly winks in Antarctica, he is safe. I miss him, and the fun that you, Killjoy, and I had with him.

So Shakelton missed one. Big deal.

I never knew that Ebi spent time with Ningxia Hanas in 2011?
