[Cam Whitmore]'My Time in Houston was very subtle.'

Could we move this thread to the NBA Dish? He's not on our team.

 

Some of you guys need to get a grip. Cam was fun to watch but he also made a lot of boneheaded plays including always trying to make the big steal and leaving his man wide open. I remember the game he had early on in the season against Dallas, he seemed to finally understand what we needed from him, then he reverted back.

I'm glad he is willing to understand why things didn't work out in Houston.

 

Meanwhile, Jalen Green fumbled and did worse for 4 years......and kept being run out there.

Jalen brought more to the table than Cam. He certainly was not the future, but he wasn't an undisciplined player.

2024 season Ime pulled Green a lot for boneheaded defensive plays.

2025 season Green played a lot better defensively and grew from the 2024 season. Sure, offensively he just wasn't it, but he had a large part of our success last season. I know you'll die on the hill for Cam, but he was hardly worth it. No way a young player like him becomes available for practically free and teams don't rush to trade for him. That says a lot about his maturity. For the sake of this young man, I hope he grows up and has a successful career, he has a lot of talent.

You love reverting to your we were all 20 once and made mistakes. That's fine, we all did, but we didn't all have huge egos and instead learned from them. Similar to many 20 years old in the league. Yes, some are boneheads, some are blessed to play for loser franchises that allow them to maybe learn on the job while other play for teams that are serious about winning and those players need to either check their ego or park their asses on the bench.

The majority of coaches in Ime's position would of done the same thing. Coaches are focused on winning first when they are given a decent roster. It's the reality of the league otherwise you are let go.
