"There's a lot of reason to be excited about Whitmore's game as it pertains to his scoring abilities. Cam has shown that he can put the ball in the basket, plain and simple. His ability to shoot from beyond the three-point arc is going to give him the chance to be a needle mover right away, especially in a modern NBA offense. Whitmore fits perfectly into what you describe as an offensive spark plug."
"With that being said, there's always going to be room for improvement for any young player. For cam, a lot of that is going to relate to consistency on defense. It's a bit of a mixed bag with Whitmore, as he's had some solid stretches on defense, but it's more a situation of needing to build that consistency and eliminate mental lapses."
Cam Whitmore arrives in Washington after limited playing time in Houston and looks poised for a larger role within an exciting young core. Whitmore has proven scoring ability and three-point shooting that can immediately impact a modern NBA offense. He projects as an offensive spark plug who can push the offense with natural creation skills and grow into an even more dangerous scorer. Defensive performance has been inconsistent, showing solid stretches but also mental lapses that require improvement. Defensive effort, awareness, and focus can be coached, though roster competition among young forwards and wings may affect rotations.
