    More Cam will at least make it entertaining.

    @WestendMassive what in the world is Australian tomato sauce?!?!?! I asked my sister in law for tomato sauce, and she sure got it. But whatever she got is somewhere between tomato sauce, ketchup, and bbq sauce. Is this tomato sauce devised by the offensive genius of Silas?!?!?! :eek:

    Cam played well last night against Suns starters (since they refused to sit their guys in the 4th in a blowout).

    He picked his shots instead of just jacking up everything. Played decent defense and made solid reads on steals.

    He needs to share more minutes with Sengun because he's making the proper cuts but Sengun is missing him on his cuts every time.

    Good post. If Cam does even a fraction of what KMJ did with Sengun before, they will be be a pretty significant combination on offense. If Cam has a consistent shot from distance then he should really play more and develop chemistry with the team. Maybe, just maybe, he is the answer to the need for a second consistent scorer.

    Yeah it was kind funny how Cam was playing team ball and Holiday was trying to hero ball it. Cam seems rotation worthy to me as does Amen, but I trust Ime to pick the right time. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

    %100 and this match should be played over Alperen. Paul Reed and Bamba definitely can't defend Alperen. Both of them will probably get into foul trouble

    Reed is a capable backup. Like we saw last night, Sengun will need some help from the perimeter to beat a team with Maxey. FVV needs to get his act together quickly or we are going on a painful losing streak, especially if Brooks and/or Jabari are out.

    I think Reed definitely can't defend Alperen but here's the thing, Maxey goes to the basket very quickly, perimeter defense is very important here, I don't know who will match Maxey, but I hope it's not Jalen Green.
