Is Toumani Camara the Trail Blazers Best Kept Secret?

Is Toumani Camara the Trail Blazers Best Kept Secret?

Um one other guy I think you forgot about that I he was my 12th guy he think he’s been the 12th best rookie this year is tomani Kamar if the Suns had him right now they would be in such a better spot like he’s exactly what they need

He’s a giant forward who can he dude have you seen the way he moves he moves so balic moves so balic for somebody that size but he’s huge has great L he put Zion Williamson in the torture chamber this weekend so here’s what happened here’s what happened so he

Started up the game on Zion Williamson okay we’re gonna clip this can we turn this into a clip yeah starts off the game on Zion Williamson Zion’s you know he’s doing the thing he does usually early in the game let’s let’s let bi kind of do his thing let’s let CJ do his

Thing we don’t all really fit together that well so it’s kind of awkward whatever and then Kamar goes to bench um bi goes to bench so it’s it’s Zion’s turn to run the show and Zion just he just beasts he just dookies on have you ever heard the term dookie yes yeah he

Just dookies on the entire Portland um lineup right destroys them manhandles them Kamar come and he continues to do it for the start of the second quarter then Kamar comes in and then Zion gets put in the dog pound Zion’s got nowhere to go anymore like he is just and then

Kamar comes out and Zion’s like okay cool I get to work again I get to cook and then Kamar comes back in and it’s like lock down I’ve never seen an individual effort like that on Zion Williamson he’s like the perfect combination of length foot like Speedy footwork um lateral agility

Strength like he is Nas Duncan shout out to him he already has Kamar on his long list of all defensive players and I think there is a very good chance that he is an all defensive player someday like he is so good and then offensively the cool thing about him our buddy chip

Jones brought this up in a group chat we’re in that he can finish with both hands he can attack close outs finish with both hands I know he’s like an older guy so obviously his skills are going to be a littleit more refined than most but he’s really good he might end

Up being the best piece they got from the like obviously Drew holiday but like in terms of the actual players they got like he he’s probably more valuable than to them than Robert Williams and Malcolm brog at this point

Even though the Portland Trail Blazers are rebuilding, the impact of Toumani Camara has been one of the most apparent silver linings of their season. Camara was included as part of the Damian Lillard deal, and the 52nd overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft has been having a great defensive season. The Portland Trail Blazers might have a hidden gem in Camara.
