    Ime Udoka is costing Cam Whitmore playing time. Give Cam the sane green light Jake’s has and he averages more and will do it more efficiently.

    More projection....

    LOL, keep hope alive for as long as you can, but continuing to double down on SF's and SG's being the team's PG is just embarrassing.

    Cope however you feel like you need to, I'll keep laughing.

    Cam Whitmore has the same adjusted scoring efficiency as Green's rookie year... The difference? Green did it on 50% rate on self created buckets while Cam was at 30%. SO Cam outputted the same efficiency as Green but on much easier shot profile not attacking POA defenses constantly like Jalen.

    Cam Whitmore as of now is a play finisher. Ask him to create against set half court defenses with all defenders' eyes on him being the primary ball handler for half court sets and watch his scoring efficiency sink like the Titanic.

    I do too. I absolutely love his potential, and I think he will reach it, but I also think it's going to take a while. It's also very possible that he never gets there.

    Valid points. Agree that there is still great hope for Sheppard, but he needs to quit being such a new guy arse kisser and look for his three point shot. That’s why he’s here and he’s useless if he’s too scared to shoot the long range shots. Really reminds me of playoff Ryan Anderson. Anderson never got over the playoff fear….let’s hope that Reed loosens up throughout the season. The team needs guys like FVV and Brooks to be veteran leaders and get on Reed when he passes up wide open threes.

    Really? 10 games in and you are already calling Reed a bust?

    Reed is talented but raw. I expect him to be a valuable member of our roster in the future.

    Not sure exactly where you're seeing he is a slow decision maker.

    Darn, the Number 3 pick Mobley looks okay again.
