    If Cam shows zero growth on offense in the next 2 years like Jalen Green, then I will speak of him in similar terms as Jalen Green.

    Your ability to analyze NBA talent and growth starts and stops with shooting splits and ts%.

    Thank you for accusing me of caring about things that matter for winning basketball games.

    Is he working on his height this off-season? I want to see Sengun type progress.

    19, that is the best 19 year old wing I have ever seen.

    He looks so much older than he is. Every time I would remind myself that he was one of the youngest players in the NBA last year, my mind would get blown all over again. Unfortunately, that's probably a hit against him. Many young players improve as their body fills out and they have to get used to playing at a new height/weight. Cam is already there and appears completely comfortable in his body. That probably means less upside, but I'm pretty happy with where he is right now, so I'll take the consistency over growth.

    Or bigger upside as he is further down the development curve at 19, and will still have 10+ years to get better.

    I think the best young talents we have now is Sengun, Tari, Cam and Amen..

    Cam reminds me of Lebron in his body type, came into the league at 18/19 already fully developed.

    I hope he's more like Mutombo who played till he's 65 than Oden who played only 2.5 seasons.

    I thought of this this morning. I think Jabari will be a nice complementary piece but those 4 are the guys. Let us hope Tari recovers well and Ime is right with the Kawhi comparison. Cam is incredible for his age and has rhe right mentality. I have zero doubts about Amen and Alpi.

    Eh no where near the lateral agility and acceleration with the dribble as Ant.

    Strength wise and vertical explosion sure.

    Cam comp is Jaylen Brown. If Boston lose in the playoffs the fans are going to blame Jaylen and then we need to trade Dillion, Jaylen Green , Tate and Brooklyn picks for Jaylen Brown
