Cam Whitmore’s future as a bucket-getting dynamo may be bright, but the Houston Rockets’ 2023 first-rounder can still see well enough to find his teammates for unselfish scores in the open floor. Exploding out in transition to supply his teammate with an outlet, Whitmore works perfect rookie-to-veteran synergy, holding a defender’s attention just long enough to whip a precise behind-the-back dime to his teammate, setting up a fastbreak slam. On a night in which the No. 20 pick came, saw, and conquered, Whitmore’s goggle celebration proved appropriate as he finished with an off-the-bench 25 points in just 21 minutes of play, alongside six rebounds, two steals, and three 3-pointers, sparking a convincing home win over the Toronto Raptors on February 2, 2024. · Feb 3, 2024
