Cam Whitmore traded to Wizards for 2 2nd round picks

He might be talented. But he's literally far from "driven" in his short career If he was, he'd have won Udoka's favor.

 

That's BS.

He was driven to score, not to play defense - which is what Ime wanted.

Ime was a mediocre player, he had to make his mark by playing defense, he was never even an average offensive player.

He overvalues that end, and undervalues offense which is why it took him so long to embrace a budding star in Alpi.....

Ime needs to grow or he will cost this team getting the most out of it...IMHO.

You're ridiculous. Just kiss me ass of guys you like

 

Nobody take that dude seriously, he is irrelevant and bump is own story to get any traction. Also he got that crazy eye you should stay far away from

 

Cam at 250 darn......Zion sweating.

 

6'7" 250...and that athleticism - we really could have used that here.

too bad he hated playing defense

 

It is much easier to teach a good offensive player how to play good defense than it is to teach a good defensive player how to be efficient on offense.

FWIW, he thought Amen was going to win MIP last year

 

Cam with 14 points in 19 minutes against the Bucks

 

Such an oversimplication, dude played in 52 games while folks moan and yell.

People act he didn’t play at all which is the farthest from the Truth.

Maybe he is just a 6th Man which isn't bad in the NBA....think of Jamal and Sweet Lou.

Neither Jalen Green nor Tari has effectively played the 6th man role over multiple seasons.

 

His return to Houston will be on November 12th. Let's get him a highlight reel on the jumbotron. NGL that would be nice.

 

Cam dropped 16/5/1 in 19 minutes, but something I've been noticing recently is how awful NBA stat-keepers are.

I was watching Tre Johnson's debut highlights and I saw obvious 2-3 Whitmore assists that weren't even counted. I feel like anytime I go back and check the play-by-play, it's insane how much inaccurate stat tracking there is, regardless of player (though it's clear some guys benefit from it, and others get screwed).

 

so 2 to 3 times whitmore passed to Tra and Tre only took 2 dribbles at most before scoring?

 

Yup. Start at 0:20, where it's 100% an assist, and the next 3 made by Tre is too - neither was counted as an assist.

This happens every game I go back and check, but it's always biased against the road team's players. And a young guy like Cam who has a bad rep is going to be especially screwed.
