Cam J doesn't provide anything else but good shooting on good size. He does not defend well, guys just attack him off the dribble and either scores or gets a foul call. He doesn't rebound well at all for his size, he's too skinny to fight for boards. And he doesn't attack well enough off the dribble, score off the dribble or pass well enough. He's pretty much just a spot up shooter that can make an occasional back door cut and make a pull up jumpshot here or there.
Bridges has a few go to moves he can go to to get his shot off, Cam J does not. Once he gets the ball he just passes it right away, which I'm not mad about but that proves he can't do anything off the dribble. He's pretty much a taller Joe Harris if you ask me. I'm not trying to make it seem like he sucks but I don't see him as a future winning type of player. And us having like 3 players like him is kind of redundant to have him here. We can find a player like him for alot cheaper. Other teams will value him alot more just for his size and shooting and we can capitalize off that.
I don’t see the point in comparing him to Bridges, they are on entirely different levels as players.
And again you just saying he’s inconsistent is anecdotal and basically just untrue.
The game logs do not lie.
He put up his best numbers in BK because he had too, he became the 2nd option which means more shots, mins and opportunities. Him and Bridges being entirely different level as players is my point, Bridges is 2 times better than him and basically plays the same positions, almost the same size, almost the same age, and Bridges is on a much better contract then what CamJ is about to get. This my whole point we don't need 2 of the exact same type of players when Bridges is vastly better than him, it's redundant.
Idk how you can say him being inconsistent isn't true as if I'm lying. Those exact game logs your talking about proves this, with the exception of the playoffs (small sample size) and the last few games of the year. Just look at the April games, he has 2 30 pt games, 3 20 pt games mixed in with with like 5 games of him scoring 10 pts or less (single digits). That's not the type of player you pay 25M plus for unless they're bringing in something else like great defending, passing, rebounding etc.. which Cam J does not.
Cam is a four, not a three.
and for him being "our Michael Porter Jr." honestly we don't need one of those. We need a Jamal Murray type of player. MPJ can disappear in games as we've seen
