    Paul George on Cam Whitmore: "I was extremely impressed with his game. He's a player that is going to shake up some things in Houston and can be a star player. I saw stardom on both ends. He played hard on both ends. He can shoot it. He can handle. He's explosive. He was strong. He had a nastiness to him that you don't really see in a lot of super young guys. He was trying to challenge me. He was challenging Kawhi. He's a name that I think, because he's a rookie, hasn't had much coverage on him, but he will be good."

    Deserves its own thread.

    Paul George also said great things about Alpi. He knows ball.

    (Edit: Found it:))



    Always liked Paul George. Nice to see how he is praising our young guys.

    Our 2023 draft really was insane.

    Love that Cam is getting recognized, glad to see a THREAD about CAM here where we can celebrate what he is becomming.

    I had him as my pick over Amen.

    Praise for Cam from a 9 time All Star and 6 time All NBA player like Paul George is high praise indeed. We've been lucky that he fell so far that Stone was able to grab him. Don't always agree with Mr. Stone, but he did well getting the young fellow, who has a bright future if he can avoid serious injury.

    You sir wanted to trade the picks for Bridges. You did like Lively as well too which was a great call.

    respect to PG but Witmore is one selfish machine who has not shown any defense at all yet. hopefully he will one day. yet houston loves no D big O guards. so no surprise for the mr bubblehead marketing him.

    That nastiness that PG speaks of will be what pushes Cam beyond the limits of what he'd otherwise be capable of.
