With Cam Whitmore falling out of the lottery, my understanding is there's a palpable trepidation surrounding his medicals that's contributed to this slide. That chatter grew louder behind the scenes today. Whitmore could still be a real value pick for whoever grabs him.

Going to suck watching the Warriors and Lakers take guys we want

Wemby keeps saying “I don’t feel pressure” which makes sense, very tall people have bad circulation.

Nope. Honestly. I'm not exactly sure what pick I'd actually be mad at. Maybe like Sasser?

The good thing is that there are so many guys we want/can use that there's going to be someone at 24.

If Barnes is a goner no. If the F spot is Barnes/Sasha/Keegan next season I think it's a very skilled lineup, lacks in overall athletic ability and Kris is going to average probably in the range of 8-10 mpg as a 23 year old rookie.

Another note on the Jazz: Utah has been conducting plenty of trade calls about the No. 28 pick. That was one of the buzzier topics around the league (silly, I know) as this afternoon turned into this evening. Being told trade will depend who's still on the board for Jazz.

There were success cases (MPJ) and failed cases (HGiizzle)... it's always tough with injuries this early in their career and NBA is only like 4x the workload compare to college...

Cam's injuries aren't as bad as Giles's though.

what are his injuries outside the thumb?

Man, I’d love to know what teams know about Cam Whitmore. Unless, it’s truly awful, we’re at a point where a team should just trade up and pick him.

Yeah but the worry is always, only the NBA medical people truly know the severity of it, which makes these falls a bit more scary.

I'm honestly not sure. But not dual ACL tears like HG had.

That's it as far as we know.

The Rockets have called Lakers, Heat and Warriors, at picks Nos. 17, 18, 19, sources said, but won't tell rival front offices who Houston is targeting with a potential trade up from No. 20.

Gotta be Cam, right?

Huston makes perfect sense to be the one who picks up the potentially risky project...
Giles sucked when he was at Duke and didn’t really do anything. Whitmore showed real production and lotto talent. I’m guessing Whitmore’s medicals are MPJ bad. Maybe long-term injuries?
This is such a deep draft that I understand why so many teams are passing up on him.

I mean, even with his "bad medicals" the dude was jumping out of the gym so it's not like he was really bothered by whatever it was like Whitehead was.
Cam Whitmore?
