Kevin Durant: Who is Royce White?
Ever wondered who, exactly, Royce White is? So has Kevin Durant.
"Who's that?" he asked reporters Friday, according to Darnell Mayberry, Thunder beat writer for The Oklahoman.
White is the guy who sent a message to Durant on Twitter Wednesday night saying the Thunder looked "shaky" in a loss to the Houston Rockets. White also, technically, is a member of the Houston Rockets, though he has not played for them this season. He was the No. 16 overall pick in the 2012 draft.
His tweet earned him heaps of scorn from the Twitter neighborhood, a good bit of it suggesting White keep his mouth shut until he actually plays in the NBA. Some of it also referred to his Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which is the main thing that has kept him off the floor this season. White is not with the Rockets, and last played for their D-league affiliate before the D-league playoffs.
I'm sure @kdtrey5 doesn't care what the anxiety ridden, overweight, d-leaguer has to say. It was funny to me though, + true. #SHAAAKYY #OKC
