Serious question .. have you seen the guy play a game? Really.
The guy isn't mentally insane. He has some anxiety problems. He has taken steps to deal with it and by all signs he is improving. Everything I have heard from him lately has been positive and he seems like a good dude.
It's not like we are dealing with Kirk Snyder.

**** the mental disorder stuff .. just stupid. Big time player. I have a vid to dig up ........
Right, because everyone knew the guy would go postal.
You really need to get your fetish for 2nd round Marquette players checked out by a specialist.

Here you go. School got out late and I was too tired to appease you last night.
My apologies, it was December not November when I started getting on that bandwagon.

It really starts to pick up some steam after that.
Which player is this referring to?
If I had anything against mental disorders, I would have still been a virgin at 25 years old.
His 'mental disorder' is way over-blown. I think it was over-stated and meant to make for a feel good piece of journalism and instead somewhat back-fired. I can't take you too seriously when you pretend to think it doesn't matter that you've never seen him play a game .. when you're chiming in on how good (or bad) you think he is. I'm going to chalk this up as you're just creating some controversy on a slow day.
In fairness .. I would take PJ3, TJones, and White .. in that order. We weren't discussing who was better, though, we were discussing picks at the end of the 1st.
More talented players have busted out because they didn't have the mind to play. I'm not suggesting White is going to go Luther Wright on us, but to me, any report of a personality or mental disorder of any kind needs to be looked at seriously.
Seriously, he has an anxiety problem, and we're not supposed to be at all concerned about him playing at the highest level of competition on earth in from of millions of people?

I didn't say it's no cause for concern. I said it's over-blown. Kid was ballin' this year and was very impressive in his NCAA game against UK. NO fear, at all. I like him .. not saying he's a sure-thing at the next level, but he has a very interesting skillset for a big guy .. he played PG (brought the ball up and initiated the offense .. not necessarily in a 'pure' PG role) for Iowa State and did it impressively.
He has no anxiety about competition that I have seen. He was visually challenging TJones to guard him. He's a tough matchup. Okay, enough on White because I'm not pushing him, was only discussing and he became THE topic. Back to us having no picks. :/
