The Rockets selected Cam Whitmore with pick No. 20 in the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday.

1 year ago

At 6â??7, 235lb, Whitmore is a powerful wing who can play guard or forward. Heâ??s got a solid outside shot (34.3% from three), but his strength is in his game at the rim. Whitmore is an explosive dunker, and heâ??s incredibly tough to stop when he gets a head of steam. Heâ??s a solid defender whose 3-and-D skills and powerful paint play should help out the Rockets. Whitmore was initially projected as a top five pick, but he slid much further down the board. He'll join compete with Tari Eason for the starting small forward spot next season, though there could be a concerning reason that he slid this far. A report explaining why he fell should come out over the next few days.
