I fully understand that a lot of bad players can have a few good shooting nights. Nonetheless here are a couple of those from Cam. His stroke looks good to me
That Duke trio was interesting to say the least, being the modern day Fab 5. They even had a fourth frosh PG who no one can remember... Zion and his all-world strength and skill, but so many questions about durability. Barret who I absolutely hated as a prospect. Good measurables but nothing else promising. And Reddish who showed flashes of being a hybrid Cedric Ceballos-Robert Horry type, a do-it-all guy who never quite seemed to do it consistently. I liked Cam's potential back then, but I can't say I'm terribly surprised how his career has gone. I'm still moderately hopeful that his Atlanta chapter was like Rasheed in Washington, being buried behind other guys like Juwan Howard (hey, another Fab 5 tie-in!), but the disastrous NY stopover makes me less confident about that. Even if you buy the Thibs' doghouse explanation, Cam should have had the career-revitalization sense of urgency to play better when he was off the leash.
I've been in disagreement with you recently, so just thought I would chime in to say, "you nailed it here."
Trouble is, we now have roughly a bazillion forwards, so Reddish is likely to face the same problem as you cited in Atlanta.
I would trust the process if it was anyone else but Cronin and Jody running things and i mean hell makes me almost want NeO back at this point that is how bad it's gotten.
CJ, Ant, Trent, Layman all say hello. Maybe if Neil Olshey hadn't wasted 7 first round picks in 6 years, there would be a longer list of players to develop. And a list that wasn't filled with role players. here I was thinking that is was coaching, system, scheme, and opportunity that developed players. But now apparently, while leading the team in scoring, and running the offense, and being the primary focus of defenses, game after game after game, and carrying the team into the playoffs for 8 years, Dame was neglecting his duty of developing the talent of young players he didn't evaluate as prospects, didn't draft, and didn't coach. Lazy
I think the minutes are there if he is any good. Especially if you consider Sharpe as part of a 3 guard rotation. That pretty much leaves Cam and Little at SF. Yes Winslow can play there too.
Guard, PF, PF I would say Thybulle is more situational which is why I didn't include him in my 3-guard rotation
