@SleeperBot: Royce White, who was chosen by the Houston Rockets during the first round of the 2012 NBA draft, struggled to establish his professional basketball career due to anxiety and a fear of flying. Despite being given flexible arrangements for travelling with the team, White only participated with the Rockets' G-League affiliate for one month. His NBA stint concluded after a brief period with the Sacramento Kings in the 2013-14 season. White dabbled in various other sports after his NBA career, before entering the political sphere where he was most recently nominated as the GOP Senate candidate in Minnesota.
