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

Cam interview - he is maturing....

I don't need to *look at shooting percentages* because I can remember last year when Cam started out so poorly - what was he, 0-18 from 3 point line and he was so indifferent and clueless on defense that he was sent to Rio Grande Valley. I have eyes! I have memory. Cam was awful at the beginng of the year, mediocre to average in the middle; he was great in that last week of the season after the Rockets clinched the 2 seed and it was pure chalk till the end.

I can look up the statistics as well as anybody else, if you think Cam Whitmore had a better season by hitting 44% of his shots (in mostly garbage time) instead of 42 % for Green last year and was a better 3 point shooter, for example, because he shot .355 instead of .354 for Green, I don't know what to say.

So, I ask you again, name a single thing Cam Whitmore was better at than Jalen Green? I mean the actual Cam Whitmore who played, not the highlight film version of him from his rookie season.

Defense, lol, no that is what got him exiled. So that is already a whole side of the ball that is out

Shooting, scoring not really. If you're arguing a few percetage points or fractions thereof, it's simply not enough to be better.

Passing, nope the guy is allergic to passing.

overall intangibles/Attitude - hahaha, it's subtle.

Cam Whitmore is gone, Jalen Green is gone, one was traded for a second round pick as a salary dump, the other has a number of NBA award and was traded for Kevin Durant - it is obvious who was better based on that, even if he wasn' t as good as we wanted him to be.

 

This is what you said when the Spurs traded for Vasilis Spanoulis who was on the first plane back to Athens.

In any event I cannot think of a less apt comparison on so many levels than Manu Ginobili and Cam Whitmore. Like if you took everything Cam Whitmore did not show as a player and gave him the exact opposite background/play style - he'd be Manu Ginobili.

Who is gonna be next, I'd say Cam Whitmore should be likened to Len Bias, but alive and not dead.

 

All those other players were because guys ahead of them sucked and I wanted to see them get a shot.

Cam is the first one I have felt has a chance to be special - I could certainly be wrong - but getting rid of him at 20 years old, for nothing is terrible asset management.

And if he turns out as good as I think he will, it is something that gets GMs and Coaches fired - their ENTIRE job is to identify and coach up talent.

We shall see......he will get his minutes in Washington and meanwhile we don't have a SG on the roster.....lol.....ugh.

I have seen enough……your comments are not very subtle tbh.
