I thought Jabari would shoot it at a better %, but he's def improving from his rookie season. Jalen needs to improve still, esp for the volume he takes. What happened to Eason, is he out for the year? I like that guy. I like Amen, if he can develop any type of shot he will be elite. He's an A+ athlete. Yeah Tari is out for the season with surgery to his shin I believe. He had a benign growth removed. We really miss him and his al-around game. Alot of Rox fans are ready to move on from Jalen Green as he hasn't taken that next leap this year. Some are saying to let Cam start. Cam has been balling lately and even in this game. Mistwell how is that Kobe Brown and Cam Whitmore argument fairing? I love Amen as well as he is an elite defender.... I don't recall the argument. Did I say Kobe was better? [Edit - yeah I said Kobe had played better in the Summer League - Cam has looked good this season. There isn't a roster spot to try Kobe out for us unfortunately.]

Kobe got a chance to crack a rotation. He's not going to be better than Cam, but Cam probably wouldn't play for us either.
As far as fit, Kobe is exactly what we need almost to a T. He just isn't good enough yet. Hopefully he can improve and be ready next season because if he hits there couldn't be a better fit.

[Edit - yeah I said Kobe had played better in the Summer League - Cam has looked good this season. There isn't a roster spot to try Kobe out for us unfortunately.] They both have have played in almost the same amount of games 36 vs 33. Kobe for sure had a lot more run than Cam did in the 1st part of the season as Cam played in a total of 7 games in the months of Oct/Nov/Dec. Cam sure has done remarkably better(specifically %wise across the board) on all stats when given the time. Let me remind you again that he is only 19 and won't be 20 years old until July. He is going to be a star. He didn't make the rising stars team for the all-star game but i guarantee you he will be a member of an all-rookie team.

He just isn't good enough yet. Hopefully he can improve and be ready next season because if he hits there couldn't be a better fit. Cam wouldn't be getting rotation minutes now that you have Harden but i could have seen him getting a look before the trade. He possibly could have earned minutes? He for sure would have at least gotten what Kobe has played. I believe Cam dropped because of his pre-draft workouts and interviews. Some questioned his coachability. Exactly what is the fit that Kobe provides? Whose minutes will he get? I don't think Kobe would be getting minutes on our team either and that should tell you something. He should be more NBA ready at his age(24) and maturity. For Green, the new coaching style and the added vets held him to more accountability and structure. Like you said he is inefficient.He is also at times not the sharpest tack in the tool box and is a turnover waiting to happen at crunch time. He will have great performances these last 20 games asl he always does which will give us false hopes again for next year. I want to keep him because I still believe in him but like you said nothing should be given.

With Westbrook's injury, wouldn't there be opportunity for Kobe Brown / Whitmore?
Couldn't Whitmore have done what Norman Powell has done with that opportunity, to an extent?
The only thing I don't like is that Whitmore is shooting 67% on FTs. Ironically the same FT% as Westbrook.
Generally, young players on veteran teams are welcome, if they can seize a role. They get excited to see someone providing an impact.
Not that he was a very good player or anything, but Brandon Roy loved Jerryd Bayless in his rookie year. Liked that attacking style.
Bayless never would become a starter in his career, but at the time, Roy was happy to see a rookie carve out a role.

I want to keep him because I still believe in him but like you said nothing should be given. Kobe plays PF. For the Clippers the fit is either starting PF with Kawhi/George moving down a position or back up PF and occasional small ball 5 if you want all shooters on the floor. Cam is definitely better, but he's a scoring SG/SF. Obv he wouldn't start, but even off the bench we already have Powell as our bench scorer and he's more efficient than Cam right now. Cam's a great scorer for being 19, but he doesn't do anything else above average right now. His numbers are very impressive for a 19 year old though so if he improves along his normal progression he should be a starting caliber player in the next year or two. I doubt Kobe becomes that. His ceiling is like later career Jeff Green.

good call and he’d be fortunate to have Green’s nice lil career. Better wake up daily shooting threes and running. A total 3 & D guy.

It's something about his play after the all-star break that elevates. If Atlanta can help us out tonight with a W, we would only be 2 back in the loss column with a game tomorrow at the Wizards. I guess your name had to be Jalen this week to win it with Brunson nominated for the East.

Chris Mullin / Chris Webber seem like their peaks were off by a few years. Same with Chris Webber / Chris Bosh. Or Tim Hardaway and Tim Duncan.

So is this false hope, coinciding a bit with Sengun going out or is he turning the corner? He's always done it in glimpses, but he's on some run rn.
