Cam Whitmore has had an interesting start to his NBA career with the Houston Rockets. After falling to 20 in the NBA draft, Whitmore was considered by some to be the potential steal. After a rocky start to the beginning of Las Vegas Summer League, Cam Whitmore has started to show that he can be a big difference maker for the Houston Rockets and has a chance to do some nice things this upcoming 2023 NBA season.

Utah probably wanted to pack it up rather than compete in the title game, thus resting Agbaji, Samanic, etc.
13:08 Charles Barkley would be a PG height these days
Whitmore is 6'7. Definitely need to improve his handles & shot selection..
People saying that Cam has a bad attitude sound so dumb he hasn’t said or done anything that makes you believe that.
I don't see any issues with his attitude. His responses to interview questions have all been positive and rational. He does appear to have that "resting mad face" but so what?
I thought he looked short as well, but in shots next to Tari Eason he didn't look much shorter. I think his build throws you off. He may not be 6'7" barefoot but he might be 6'6".
Very accurate my brotha! 🚀 🚀🚀
As a Rockets fan, I appreciate your take. I think all the points were very fair and well thought out.
Great video!!!
1. the guy just turned 19 1week ago.
2.And Whitmore is definetely 6'7,go watch him next to Amen/ Ausar who are know 6'7 You think Whitmore has the same height as Keyonte George? 🤣🤣.
3. You never brought up the defense which is 50% of the game. Cam Whitmore is on a different planet compare to Keyonte George defensively
4. You never draft an 18yrs old for what he is now but what they could be in 3 to 4 yrs. Most can shoot in nba, but most can't have what he has. And thats just God given ability at 6'7 235LBS
One thing i don't like about fan bases is trying to convince yourself that your franchise didn't make a mistake especialy in the draft.
Well it happens everytime and teams make mistakes.
Key was Awfull in college, he is very bad defensively and just got from 3 in the last 2 games.
In 3 games he played in salt lake he was 38 Fg% and 28% from3. I don't bring up those stats for fun but thats who he was in college for around 30 games. He is a jump shooter but what if its not going in? Cause you saw Games where Cam Whitmore was 1-8 but still finished the game with 6-14.
Lol you should talk about the limitations of your jazz picks,Taylor Hendricks and keynote George rather than spending much time on cam whitmore. Jazz were scared of putting keynote George on the court against the summer league Rockets, bcos they knew the rugged looking Rockets would expose him which would’ve killed his confidence. For jazz there was no need to put taylor Hendricks on the Rockets fire to expose his limitations further. On the other hand, Houston Rockets weren’t scared of playing cam whitmore, bcos they are confidence of what he can do.
I enjoyed your take as a rockets fan… I just don’t agree with assessing a player you obviously have not looked at extensively…
This is going to age poorly. Cam is about where he should be having just made 19 years old this month.
Cam is listed as 6’7” and 232 pounds. That’s bigger than most small forwards. Even if he’s only 6’6” then he’s still above average. So saying he’s too small to play his position makes no sense
I thought this was a Jazz fan channel ?
Nothing he’s done would remotely indicate he has a bad attitude. He’s a young black man and nobody knows how he’s grown up or what he’s been through.
Now that Cam is the official MVP of summer league I think it’s time to admit what a mistake it was leaving him off your top 10
You know who he reminds me of???Mitch Richmond. 😊
