It’s no guarantee that Cam Whitmore will crack the rotation early but if he continues his great play he may force the Rockets hands like Sengun and Eason did

So as long as he doesn’t force his way out of Houston
I think it’s pretty obvious how high Ime is on Cam and the departure of KPJ making way for him to get big minutes.
Send Tate to China and give cam the backup 3/4 minutes so bullock can play too. Tate is too inefficient for how well we played last night.
Better that he has to force his way rather than have it handed. Will do him wonders. However his potential is more then just a scorer, so Ime may focus on those other areas rather than give a heap of minutes from scoring.
He’s probably gonna have to be better than one of: FVV, DB, JG, AlP, Bari, Tari, or Reggie if he wants to get more than spot minutes.
But on the bright side, if he keeps up this shooting he may be able to move past guys like Tate…we’ll see how badly our bench needs scoring instead of defense.
He’s the next guy up. When someone gets hurt or a vet needs an extra night, Cam’s in. That’s the perfect role for him to continue growing, not have too big of a role and keep forcing the issue into next season.
He’s 19. He’s not finished you guys just watched 19 year olds play heavy minutes for 3 seasons yeah? Suppose nobody learned that lesson?
I love Tate and his energy but we need to trade him for a better backup center if Landale continues to play poorly.
