What player trait(s) are you willing to give up on for pick #23?

Wasn't Royce White the guy who had a flying phobia? I never heard anything beyond that. Having a phobia doesn't make you fat as fuck and lazy. If there is more to this story, then okay, but if you're basing it off of just that, then that's just untrue.

There was a lot more to the story. Royce White was a train wreck who expected the Rockets to completely cater to him and refused to take responsibility for anything.

Player age is really a non factor IMHO. If the players good he's still gonna give you 10+ years of quality basketball.

This. What is the average length of time a player stays with the team he is drafted by? The only time age should come into the discussion is if two players are similar in talent but one is 3-4 years younger. In that case you taken the young player. But Damian is a great example of why drafting seniors is a plus.
