I get it houston fans think now after the draft they win the title 20 times in a row but the reality is the only all star player on this team is Sengun rest all g-league caliber player with tunnel vision
Why does Sengun need a Gleague player like Green to be on the court with him to have acceptable efficiency for a big man who only scored in the paint? You probably would be shocked at how much Sengun drops in efficiency when Green isn't sharing the floor with him.
That is the reason he dropped.... time will tell. Unfortunately you could only foster so many All Stars on one team and if you have too many of them some end up with the shorter end of the stick.
Ahhhh the SOFs just cant stand when their boy is not in the spotlight of every ROX related news More to the topic without all the insecure fluff - its hard to get super excited for a 6'6 wing player with a suspect shot and reported issues of motivation. Cam wont be able to get up an over NBA defenders the same way he has up to this point in his playing career so he will have to modify his game and adapt.
Okay, I get what you mean now but as I said you don't see the more frequent sengun posters post like this.
It’s my stupid phones fault man. I type it correctly and it autocorrects to Whitemore. Blame Tim Apple!
Judging by the video the subject line of this thread is completely misleading. We need to the federal government to step in and regulate these things.
I wasn't high on Whitmore either. Athletically, he's a beast, but skills wise he is lacking. A quick first step and strong frame alone won't make him a star. He has no inbetween game yet and lacks craftiness. Also wasn't a very focused defender at times. Inconsistent effort on D and lacking creativity on the offensive end meant he wasn't someone I wanted to draft at 4. But at pick #20 I'm more than happy to have him on the team.
If you watched that video he never said that he wasn't high on the guy. He had Whitmore #6 on his big board pre-draft. And he explained some teams had long term medical issues on him. As well as teams outside the lottery who didn't have workouts with him shying away because they had no intel. At this point the "bad workouts" seem to be the biggest culprit. Makes you wonder wtf he was doing and saying in those workouts that were such turnoffs.
I think the reality is that teams in the teens never worked Cam out and heard he had some issues so there was no point in taking a “blind” pick. His game certainly has flaws, but he’s got plenty of talent and is conservatively a top 10 talent and a top 5 athlete in this class.
At the end of the day Whitmore fell to 20 more so because the lower you go in the draft the better the teams are, and the better the teams are the more likely they are going to avoid a 18 year old high ceiling low floor player. Teams in the late teens never even considered Whitmore as an option so they spent zero time scouting him and therefore followed the narrative line and did the safe option of drafting guys they prepared for and scouted with genuine research and workouts.
