Rockets 2023-2024 player previews: Cam Whitmore

It’s Mr. Surprise, Cam Whitmore. The surprise was, of course, that the Rockets were able to draft both Amen Thompson at #4 and Cam Whitmore at #20. Some draft pundits had forecast Whitmore to the Rockets at 1-4, so to get him that late AND get Amen was considered quite a feat.

I still consider it to be so, even if we barely see Cam play for the Houston Rockets this season.

Here’s why I think this. Cam turned 19 (19!) in July. He’ll be 19 for the entire 2023-24 NBA season. This makes him one of the youngest players in the NBA, at the END of the season.
