Cam Whitmore is not under a ton of pressure in his first season with the Wizards... at least at first glance. The team won't be competing for much this year — except maybe the top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft — and with only veteran CJ McCollum to compete with for minutes at shooting guard, Whitmore will get plenty of playing time and a neon green, flashing light to shoot whenever he's on the court.
Getting shots up won't be the problem. Getting Whitmore to buy in fully and compete at a high level every night is where the challenge might start.
