Hope Cam's health is ok -- dang....

Whitmore has those bad knees.

Wemby is quite a kid -- composed, thoughtful, communicative.

No way the Lakers are keeping this pick.

Total guess on my part but maybe we were too transparent about wanting Bilal.
Glad we had the assets to still get our guy.

What's got people spooked about Whitmore?

payitforward · Post #1689 » by **payitforward** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:58 am

Look... it's kind of obvious, isn't it?

Someone came to Indy w/ an offer to trade up to 7 in order to take Bilal. They put the word out, & we made an alternate offer.

On 4 3s a game and 9 attempts a game total on 47 % low volume guys need to be more efficient than that and he doesn't shot FTs well. He gets lucky and hits one three a game on average.

I believe he's 40% on catch and shoot 3s as well.

Maybe I just see something different and something different from the numbers .

He had a 57% TS. He's a better shooter than Wemby, Scoot, Amen, Ausur, Black, Hood-Schifinio and Lively.

That is definitely not the reason he's falling.

His defensive awareness? But he is pretty young, I think he can learn.
Are his medicals that bad?

I guess I just see something different. But I'll give that to you guys.

Woj just said Whitmore had really bad individual workouts and interviews

NatP4 · Post #1698 » by **NatP4** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 2:06 am

Man, Podziemski, Cissoko, Clowney on the board going into the 20s.
