In an interview with season ticket holders, Rockets GM Daryl Morey apparently didn't mince words when it came to the 2012 first-round selection of former Minnesota prep standout Royce White -- who started his college career with the Gophers but never played here before flourishing for a year at Iowa State.

Said Morey:

"I take some sort of pride that you could argue that Royce White is the worst first-round pick ever. He's the only one that never played a minute in the NBA that wasn't just a foreign guy staying in Europe. It just shows we swing for the fence."

Is that really fair to say given White's public battle with anxiety?
