    Ok. I'm guessing you have the ability to read. I was clearly talking about his draft position which was stated

    speak for yourself. who cares about his draft position. it has nothing to do with the discussion.

    my entire post referenced his age and the topic at hand. size, physicality, age, strength. then you go off topic and throw in draft position. nobody was even talking about that

    That's easy. I named one in Jr Rider. Want another? Our own. Terrance Williams was there. Aaron Gordon is another. Shawn Kemp?

    I get the concerns with Cam. I do. But he’s currently shooting .54 from the field, .42 from 3, and has a .64 TS%. Oh, and he’s 19. How can that not excite you?

    none of these guys were drafted at 18 yo. the closest was aaron gordon at 19 yo

    Rider was drafted at 22 years old

    T Will was drafted at 22 years old.

    Kemp was 20

    That's cool. I understood it perfectly but if that's how you want to handle the discussion you can have the last word

    i whole heartedly agree. we have nothing to lose at this point and i love jalen green and still think he will one day be very good, he just needs to work on that stroke. Cam fits sengun better and it even make financial sense to send jalen to the bench cuz his next contract will be cheaper. Give jalen tough love. Get the 3ball percentage up or else. its better that he gets it sooner than later. We can't pay them all anyways and Cam is stuck with us for 3 more years.

    clearly you don't. you're just throwing out randomness now cause you're getting fact checked

    clearly you're not reading what you're replying to

    "name another 18 year old that came into the league with this level of physical maturity?"

    you: post a bunch of names that were drafted over 18. LOL

    I think that this is well put. The first player that comes to mind for me when I think about Cam is also LeBron James. And I don’t mean that skill set wise but just the physical maturity is almost beyond belief.

    Cam is an ideal fit to play alongside FVV/Amen/Alpi. I don’t know if he will ever create for others well but he is going to score a **** ton of points and make physical plays on both sides of the court.

    I posted players who had the same physical features when they were drafted.

    thanks for proving the point. read the entire question

    This might help

    name another 18 year old that came into the league with this level of physical maturity?

    Cam's a big kid. No question. I just don't want to get ahead of myself. Hopefully he's what you think he is

    Before you put it purely physical mentally is meaningful too
