    Number 8 team? In what scenario would he have ended up on the Knicks?

    It is still very early, I think the Jazz could be a role model, they are actually somewhat decent.

    I thought Cam looked okay tonight in the minutes he played. He’s got an opportunity later in the season with them if he can work hard especially on D.

    I suspect the Wizards are going to do everything they can to cash in high on CJ so playing time behind him now will be sparse, but it seems inevitable that he’ll be traded at some point.

    Cam is still a good prospect but it’s all about his attitude and ability to improve on the little things that’ll get him on the court. The rockets opting to start Josh Okogie over keeping and starting Cam tells you all you need to know about what the nba values with 95% of its players.

    I think he played extra hard because it's the Rockets and Udoka.

    The Wizards have a weird roster...they're mainly constructed of guards and wings with no true big man to establish an interior presence. Though they'll have $80M coming off the books next season, who would want to play for a dumpster fire team like the Wizards?

    On what metric? The Rockets have the 5th best record and the 3rd best point differential. In no scenario are they the 7th or 8th best team.

    Yes, he did....

    Cam was fine though 55% from the floor, 11 points in a short stint......he is finding his way, CJ has to be traded so they can get him and others more PT.

    Talent? Yeppers.

    Body language? Similar to Wiz’ record: grossly horrid.

    Exactly they want that 2nd contract, and if they aren't getting reps on the floor their value is lower, Cam should have been in the rotation anyway, but you can never blame a player for doing what is RIGHT for themselves.....just like Eason is.....now.

    Yeah but who ever said Cam was better than Reed. Reed was a 3rd overall pick. Cam will be an atheletic scoring machine given time though. He just doesnt play defense.
