So, who are we higher on, Tari or Cam? Cam was talked about a top 5-10 prospect that can create his own shot. Tari as a 10-20 prospect that struggles a bit with scoring and stupid decisions but does everything else well. Tari is taller and a better off the ball defender. They are not the same archetype, with Tari being a SF/PF tweener and Cam a SF/SG tweener. Who would you want to start at SF in the mid term?
tari's the perfect glue guy to make the other starter pieces fit. and whitmore can come off the bench ala microwave johnson
I dont watch College ball much anymore so I will take everyone's word for it. I like how brute-ish his game is. looks like a bully.
The favorites to start at the 3 right now would obviously be Tari or KPJ. I do want to make sure Cam gets minutes so he can develop though--there's too much upside to just have him sat at the end of the bench. G-League could be an option, but I'd rather see what he can do at the highest level. Remember that he's still only 18. He's a long-term project. Even younger than Jabari was this time last year.
What are the "medical issues" they speak about with this guy .... a broken leg in the past and something else?
I don't envy Coach Udoka at all or Stone for that matter. We really need to sort out who stays and who plays. The one thing I do absolutely expect is for us to be super competitive next season. Udoka will evaluate and set a pecking order just like he did in Boston. We just need to add two solid vets and I promise everyone here that Houston is going to surprise a lot of people mark my words...
Let's all give thanks to dumb ass Charlotte and Michael Jordan and Mitch Kupchak. Without them none of this would have happened LOL. If Scoot would have been taken #2 like he should have gone this draft would have been MUCH DIFFERENT...
The guy is a bully, it will be a nice change at the two from Jalen Green and his ballerina act. Whitmore/Eason at 2/3 would be VERY disruptive defensively. Tari was #5 in the NBA in STL%, while Whitmore led the NCAA. There are question marks, for sure, the slide in the draft may be based on some real concern… But the guy is a legit talent, he may be the long-term answer at SG, making Green a 6th man or a trade asset…
Could also be a Turnover fest....plug Eason or someone better instead of Cam who is a bench scorer right now.
