Yes, agreed, it likely doesn't keep up, but is pretty impressive so far.Extremely small sample size 12 games total and 11.1 mins per game.
Its positive for sure. I liked him as a prospect a lot. The interviews and personality stuff I think was enough that many teams took him off their boards. It likely was an over-reaction but we just don't know enough and guys with those types of issues stuff comes out later. Its all muddied in my mind but I remember some rumors of a prospect that said they didn't want to come here... there was the prospect that tanked the workouts (assumed it was GG)... I just think we flat out said we couldn't do it.Yes, agreed, it likely doesn't keep up, but is pretty impressive so far.

Time will tell... with some of these guys they mature and it looks bad... sometimes they figure it out on their 3rd or 4th team. I do think sometimes the medical red flags and personality stuff gets a little too reactionary. Rockets may have had a steal drop in their laps.
Oh for sure. He's a black hole. Even on the stuff you provided its clear he likes to cook based on time with the ball. Those concerns may push a guy to the back half of the lotto with the talent he has... but to get all the way to 20 there were some interview issues.It's hard to say about the off court stuff, but I think there are on court concerns as well. Mostly they are BBIQ related questions, for me, where he doesn't seem to have a good feel for what's going on all the time and often makes bad reads on both offense and defense. I'm guessing this is why he hasn't played for the Rockets more since his production has been great so far.
It's just a little strange to me since the dude's a bucket, it's super clear, and usually guys like that get on the court despite BBIQ questions.
yes, it is a small sample, but he has been good everywhere he's been when given opportunities. good in summer league, pre-season, g league and now the league at every opportunity. consistently outperforming Amen for example in about the same number of minutes. when he gets minutes he produces.Extremely small sample size 12 games total and 11.1 mins per game.
it doesn't hurt that his TS% is 64%. again, small sample, but you also have to be efficient and he's doing that. when you're that efficient, you should be putting it up every time you touch it.Cam has been impressive, but a big factor in points per touch is that you shoot it every time. Fitting for the player he is haha.
tony jones doesn't know and yes, he was absolutely an option.Tony Jones said he wasnt even an option for us so we didnt miss any boats. Not an option is a strong statement.
For all we know he might have told Ainge to **** off and not draft him.

This kind of serves the opposite point you want to make.TH has barely played, but there's a reason why you draft guys like him. If you're 6'10 and can masquerade as a 3&D you'll get paid $100M. Patrick Williams has been benched, but because he's half decent at both he will come away with $100M lol.
