The golf quotient is still impressive! The former Rockets wing star still hasn’t changed his style of play after joining the Wizards?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Charlotte Hornets easily defeated the Washington Wizards at home 139-113. After this game, the Hornets' record improved to 2 wins and 1 loss; while the Wizards' record dropped to 1 win and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Wizards' new substitute wing player Cam Whitmore (Cam Whitmore) was obviously unsatisfactory. Whittemore played for 20 minutes and 31 seconds, shooting 4 of 10 from the field, 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 2 free throws. He only scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 4 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-minus of -16. Whittemore actually got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities. However, he still chose crazy singles on the offensive end. He constantly tried personal attacks. However, his offensive efficiency was not particularly ideal. He did not seem to have basic talents in passing and organizing offenses. Moreover, he also made a lot of mistakes and wasted a lot of ball rights. Not only that, his performance on the defensive end is also less than ideal, and his concentration on the defensive end is also worrying. At least in this game, Whitmore's performance on both ends of the offense and defense was unsatisfactory. He should obviously do better.

In the NBA regular season last season, Whitmore only had 51 playing opportunities with his old club, the Houston Rockets, in 82 games due to the team's tactical arrangements, and his average playing time per game was He played 16.2 minutes, averaging 9.4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 44.4% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range, and 75% from free throws. In the playoffs, Whitmore played a total of 3 times and averaged only 1.8 minutes per game. Due to the limited playing time, Whitmore did not score a point during the playoffs. He averaged only 0.3 rebounds per game and did not record any other data. He shot 0% from the field and 0% from the three-point range. Since the start of this season, Whitmore has averaged 18.7 minutes per game in the first three games, averaging 10.7 points, 4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.7 turnovers and 0.7 fouls. His field goal percentage is 41.9%, three-point shooting percentage is 18.2%, and free throw percentage is 80%.

Everyone can see that Whitmore has super physical talent and athletic ability. He is still young and has huge potential. However, the problem is that this season is Whitmore's seventh season in the NBA. It seems that he still hasn't made substantial progress in terms of his ball intelligence and game reading ability. His shot selection is still poor, his performance is still inconsistent, and his role on the defensive end is up and down. Whittemore has the ability to grow into an excellent perimeter player, but if he can't adjust his on-court play, it won't be easy for him to do that and realize his talent in this situation.
