Coach Ime needs to run a 10 deep rotation for the playoffs. Just so everyone can have fresher legs every game in the playoffs. We have the deepest team in the playoffs and I think we should take advantage of it.
I maybe can understand you questioning his BBall IQ or his defense, he's 20yrs old and still learning but his ability to penetrate with the ball?? That's one of his best qualities
Are you talking about Cam Whitmore? He has practically no ability to score isolation points (just beating his man). His PPP on isolation plays is worse than FVV, Sheppard, Brooks, Eason, Green, Sengun, Amen and Tari. His FG% on those is 30.8% and he gets literally 0 And1's on those. The only qualified players who are worse are Jabari and Tate. If you give him a PnR, he's a poor PnR decision maker. Doesn't know when to pass, doesn't know how to angle to finish at the rim either. He's a shooter off screens and can bully small players to the basket if there's no big man to challenge him. That's about it. That's why it's ridiculous that he was upset about being benched. He needs to work on his game and he has the ability to improve, but like a Michael Beasley he doesn't care about the team he just wants to do what he's always done whether it helps the team or not.
Hard to do that and win, Cam is probably out for the playoffs today’s game is his last until next year. DD
He reminds me of Eric Gordon in iso. He’s not that good at it. … yet … in fact, maybe that’s his ceiling comp … 6’7 Eric Gordon with hops … that’s a good player
It all comes down to what are you trading him for? No one on this roster is untouchable for the right offer other than Amen.
the whole thing with cam is his brain or lack of it skills are there it is all about his mentality his willingness to be coached up his willingness to be team first and make on-court (and off court as well) decisions that are in the best interest of winning basketball games his drive to get better and dominate both ends of the court reed and cam absolutely obliterated sl 2024 they were too good for all the other players there he has to get his mind right if he doesnt ship him out right now he is just a big tease
What a non-intelligent post. The guy you are describing is Nate Williams….simply the WORST basketball player to ever wear a Rockets uniform. Nate thinks he’s a superstar and shoots every time he touches the ball, but sucks. Loves taking threes instead of passing and shoots 20% (but not sure how it’s that high because I’ve only seen him make one this whole season). Awful awful awful non-team player. Cam on the other hand is averaging 30ppg his last two starts and should be celebrated!!!
Nobody runs a 10-deep playoff rotation unless they don't respect the opponent. Also, because there are no B2Bs and sometimes additional rest between series, fatigue isn't as big a factor in the playoffs as the regular season.
Very good analogy. He should be Cam's model. When he was a young player, Eric Gordon dunked on people quite often, similar to Cam now. When he became seasoned, it seemed like he would deliberately target rookies.
Those might be the only 2, that we would consider. I am happy Cam is showing that his potential is there, let's all cheer for him to get there.... DD
Luka no. Jokic yes. I think Amen will be comparable to Luka when he is 25. Luka will always be bad on D and seems to have injury issues in the playoffs every time.
If Cam's head is screwed on tighter this summer and next season, he should be in good shape. Otherwise, it will be more of the same. Whatever Cam did during the offseason last year didn't help his game. Hopefully he changes things up.
That Derrick Rose/Eric Gordon high school team was a show, and I still crack up when EGo said when they played Michael Jordan's kids, all he wanted to do was dunk on MJ's kids in-game using one of MJ's own dunks. Mild-mannered EGo is quietly a savage. His dunks in high school were pretty silly.
