Cam Whitmore's start with the Wizards is vindicating the Rockets decision to move on

The Washington Wizards offseason was full of eventul moves as the team continue to construct a roster they believed could get them one step closer to the end of their rebuild.

Washington took a swing on the veteran leadership of CJ McCollum to serve as a mentor for the team's young backcourt, who would soon add a premiere guard in Tre Johnson with the No. 6 overall pick.

In addition to McCollum, Washington bet on the upside of Cam Whitmore when the team made the decision to take the bait on the former Villanova star's ridiculously low asking price in a trade with the Houston Rockets.
