Rockets cast-off took just one game to prove why he was traded

The Houston Rockets received some criticism for their Cam Whitmore trade. His most recent performance for the Wizards strongly suggests that they won't regret it too badly.

That's not to say it was the right move. The Rockets received a paltry return for Whitmore. If they were going to settle for a pair of second-round picks, they should have held onto Whitmore. If they couldn't get a better deal by the deadline - well, frankly, who would care?

That said, Whitmore's flaws are well-documented. It doesn't look like he's changed much. It's quite possible that this was the best return he was ever going to fetch for the Rockets.
