    Cam Whitmore?

    Both Giannas and KD grew an additional 2 inches or more after they came into the league at early ages and their careers took off.

    I feel as though Cam is a monster now but if he grows to 6'7 or 6'8 he will be UNSTOPPABLE.

    Yes, he's a legit 6'7" in shoes. At the combine he was 6'5.75" barefoot, list height is with shoes, and shoes typically add at least an inch.

    As for whether he has more growth, hard to say. Do guys who are already this built usually grow more? I think about gymnasts, whose height usually ends up stalling out because they add so much muscle mass. I feel like guys who are lankier when they come into the league as teenagers seem more likely to grow taller.

    Could be wrong though.

    Don’t forget about Sengun! He’s also grown two inches since he came into the league.

    Cam doesn’t need more inches he needs more minutes. He has the potential to be a second star along with Alpi.

    Are you joking?

    The rockets have like 6 franchise players and the data is on this forum to prove it

    Cam is the newest franchise player, the newest shiny toy that is going to thrive with the other franchise players (1st rd picks from phase 1)

    Cam obviously has huge scoring potential, he’s much stronger and a better shooter than Jalen. I said nothing about franchise player so take that baggage elsewhere

    Sorry yeah that franchise player crap has left me traumatized. Teams need multiple stars plus a solid core of role players. Cam and Alpi have the most star potential of our draft picks imo.

    No pics of Cam standing next to Giannis and Durant? How can we measure him?

    Indeed

    I feel they all have high level potential which is a good prob to have, they all have games that mesh well together, but another sniper and lob/rim blocking Big can be added this deadline or off-season

    Sengun and Cam have future all star games in their story, just as I feel Amen/Bari/Green have that in them as well, who gets there is another story

    And Eason just does things at all star level with his Claw like defense instincts, though he probably won't make a ASG, unless he goes elsewhere with bigger role to score more

    We need to petition Tilman to rename the team the Houston Franchises.
