The Player Who is Still a Bust: Royce White
Who could forget Royce White? The first-round draft choice, who missed the entire 2012-13 season with an anxiety disorder. After White was unable to reach a settlement with the Houston Rockets to accommodate his mental health, he took some time off from basketball.
White has had several stints in the NBA D-League, but has still not lived up to his potential. After an extended absence from the NBA, he made an appearance with the Clippers for the Orlando Summer League, but he struggled, only making one of the six shots he attempted.
White was drafted ahead of players like Terrence Jones, Draymond Green and Jared Sullinger. But sadly, he is not the worst player to come out of the 2012 NBA Draft. I mean, hey, Fab Melo took down the entire Syracuse basketball program.
