Cam Whitmore traded to Wizards for 2 2nd round picks

LOL. The guy that has 130k posts and repeats the same stupid **** 100 times in every thread is talking about wasting server space. That’s rich.

 

Jokic dropped because teams doubted his athleticism - a bias against his physical attributes, missing his elite basketball IQ. (if anything, it tells us how IMPORTANT elite BB IQ is, something that Cam lacks). Cam Whitmore's slide was the opposite: everyone saw his top-tier physical gifts, easily a top-5 talent. His fall to #20 was about something else: "blinders," selfishness, poor interviews – issues with his mentality, not his body.

Has any player with elite top-5 physicals ever dropped to the late first round (or later) and then become a consistent top-10-pick NBA player? I can't name one.

However, many with similar red flags were picked high and underperformed. Think Derrick Williams (#2 pick, tunnel vision, poor defense) or Mario Hezonja (#5 pick, decision-making, arrogance).

Not saying Cam won't succeed, but if he does, he'll be a rare exception.

 

Cam situation reminds me of Royce White.

Not as bad though, just unfortunate. IYKYK

 

Royce White peaked at the summer league. I was there. Cam showed he could be dominant offensively in actual NBA games. But I take your point

 

Cam Whitmore is not a Alpha Male that is a #1 option.

No team can him those reigns, that will be crazy.

#1 Bilal Coulibaly
#2 Alex Sarr
#3 Bub Carrington

AJ Johnson need to examined if he is a Starter.

They are the Top Priorities

CJ McCollum, Khris Middleton, Marcus Smart
are veterans ahead of you also.

 

Man I was so happy we got Royce at the time. I really liked Lamb and White and we drafted both.

I saw Tmac like upside in Lamb and White was basically a better scoring but worse defensive version of Draymond in college while still maintaining the intensity and crazy.

Lamb helped get us Harden but Royce is one of the most disappointing human beings I can recall.

 

I thought he was gonna be a stud. But when he reneged on his willingness to fly (after he was drafted), I knew it wasn’t gonna work. Went down hill from there. Agreed one of this most disappointing Rockets prospects ever.

the guy gives people struggling with mental health a bad name.

Cam Bam is gone. 3 years down the line after he excels in DC, it may look like a rough loss but Tari can make the jump to cover it ..as he has shown.

Tari will be likely extended....

But, there are some quiet whispers of his value being used for one is a few of Ime's preferred vets...

 

I don't see him requesting a bang bus where he knocks up females or joining MMA, or running for Congress/Senate.
