    Everyone can pass well when they have the ability to constantly draw double team.
    Cam needs to be the man that draw double team every single play otherwise he will just beat his man up. That’s easier for him

    I have no worries about Cam, he is still in this phase where he is showing the coaching staff that he can score and shoot....

    Once he settles down, his work on other areas should show and quite frankly in most games he might not be asked to score big........

    I hope he can adjust accordingly.

    Matrix actually had comparable rookie FG% and better FT% than Slam Whitmore-

    .471 FG% .847 FT% vs. .481 FG% .655 FT% (though admittedly eFG% is .476 vs. .574)

    Where Matrix was atrocious was the .182 3P% vs. .396 3P%, but it was a different era.

    And Matrix actually passed more than Slam, 1.4 APG vs. 0.4 APG, albeit Matrix saw 50% more court time his rookie year.

    Both are 6-7 220-230 (but Matrix was a much better rebounder).

    Brown was much better defender than Cam but Cam is much better scorer than Brown at his age. Both looks like they’re living in their own world during the game so very similar but Cam can actually dribble left

    Jabari is back hopefully he don’t injure his ankle again to make him go back cold again

    Marion's defense was silly good, too.

    Nah...


    Jordan wasn't as good of a 3 point shooter.

    Marion is more like Amen than Cam.

    Amen reminds me of a young Marion with better court vision and an uglier(?!!) shot. I never thought I’d see the day.

    I’ve been saying Corey Maggette since I seen his highlights at Villanova I still sort of feel the same but he has impressed me with a few of his passes
