Royce Alexander White (born April 10, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for the London Lightning of the NBL Canada. He was the 16th selection of the 2012 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets and has played in the NBA Development League for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and Reno Bighorns on assignment from the Rockets and Sacramento Kings, respectively. White previously played college basketball with the Iowa State Cyclones basketball team starring for the 2011–12 Cyclones. Before that he was a high school basketball star in the state of Minnesota and had committed to play for the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team. He is afflicted with anxiety disorder and has caused disciplinary problems that have necessitated transfers in both high school and college. Concerns about the Rockets' plan for dealing with his mental health led to White missing all of the 2012–13 NBA season for the Rockets despite being under contract. He debuted for the Vipers on February 12.
White was the 2009 Minnesota Mr. Basketball and a two-time Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) championship team member. He was a Class 3A MSHSL champion in 2006 with DeLaSalle High School as a freshman and a Class 4A MSHSL champion in 2009 with Hopkins High School as a senior, leading his school to a perfect (31-0) record.
