Generally when guys really drop like this, their NBA career doesn't end well. This many teams can't be wrong.

It's always tough to see someone expected to be a high lottery pick fall to the mid-to-late 1st round or even the 2nd round. Hopefully he uses this as motivation to prove everyone who passed on him wrong.

That's a good, immediate contributor kind of pick for the Heat. Seems like a Heat-vibe player too.

Have no depth and are already short on first round picks and 2nd round picks.

Don't think it's happening unless a big name of ours is moved.

And being Spanish speaking will bode well for him there

Jaime Jaquez Jr great pick for Miami. plays hard and fundamentally sound.

does that help him? He probably needs a lot of reps to reach his potential. I guess he can beat up on other team's bench guys.

No way Cam falls past BKN.

I wish we would get back in the damn draft (or better yet just drafted him).

At this point you might as well grab a pick for Whitmore man, this is ridiculous. At worst he becomes a huge asset early on before the injury concerns even hit. It's a no brainer imo

Yep, hopefully he's more Aaron Rodgers than Keyonte Davis in that respect.

at the very least Cam greatly helps our bench
