    Plenty of things he can learn in the G-league. He can learn how to defend, how to pick where and when to score, how to pass, how to play with others, and learn to keep his body language/attitude in line. He does need the reps and to play against others, so it's good for him rather than sit and rot on the bench. More than just dominating there.

    Cam Whitmore is a bigger and better than Jalen Green. Anything Jalen Green does Cam Whitmore can do better.

    He's two years ahead of schedule.

    What is Ime thinking or doing?

    If he really said this then he really deserves to be in the G League and an even lower level league, if there is one. His sense of entitlement and arrogance will not serve him well in the NBA. Who promised him that he would be a or the franchise player anyway? I hope this quote is not true because he just signed his way out of the NBA with that kind of attitude.

    We are in a different phase. We're trying to win games now. It makes sense.

    No way, man. The team is falling apart, that's what's happening. It's plain as day. And it's all because of Cam. #FireCam.

    This isn't about ability - this is about attitude and effort and learning how to play in the NBA.

    When Cam Whitmore does the things that help win basketball games - he will be back up.

    I really don't care if Whitmore scores 30 points a game in the G-League.... because I know that the explosiveness, ability to score in traffic and shooting touch is there. I am more concerned about seeing how he defends, how he passes and if he cuts down on the number of preventable errors he makes. That is really what the G-League is for, working on those things that have to improve.

    Pretty sure he will at least be a scoring bench player that can get you some buckets, but there is potential to be more of that - especially if he learns to play smart and sound.

    Relax… he’s a super young player on a team thats playing well. Instead of riding the end of the bench, G League provides valuable opportunities for Cam to improve and stay conditioned. Currently, Cam is very raw and needs to work on his game.
