The Rockets refused to send out several new stars, and the Suns focused on the next young player?
According to the American media Forbes sports reporter Evan Sidery, in the Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns' deal about Kevin Durant, Cam Whitmore has finished writing the team's latest potential chip candidates worth paying attention to.
Sidery said that since Houston refused to include Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr. and Reed Sheppard in previous contacts, the Suns are also adjusting their target candidates, and Whitmore has become the next young wing player to be considered by the Suns in the Rockets' roster. The Suns also hope that Whitmore can understand something. If he can join Phoenix, he is expected to gain a broader role space, and his playing time next season will be significantly improved than when he played with the Rockets.
In the NBA regular season this season, Whitmore played 51 games in 82 games, averaging 16.2 minutes per game, averaging 9.4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75%. In the playoffs, Whitmore played 3 games in total, with averaging only 1.8 minutes per game. Due to the limited playing time, Whitmore did not score 1 point during the playoffs, with averaging only 0.3 rebounds per game, and no other data was recorded. His shooting percentage was 0% and his three-point shooting percentage was 0%.
Whitmore's performance during the regular season was actually quite good. He also showed a relatively comprehensive personal ability. He can still undertake many offensive tasks on the offensive end. He is also a very excellent scorer. However, his playing time is really limited, and head coach Ime Udoka did not give him enough trust and support. In this case, Whitmore really cannot achieve better growth and leap in ability. From Whitmore's own perspective, leaving the Rockets and joining the turbulent Suns seems to be a good choice. But on the other hand, at least he can still get the opportunity to enter the rotation lineup in many cases. As for the Suns, the team's situation is a mess. No one knows what will happen to the team in the future. Joining the Suns may be an opportunity for him, but it may also be a potential crisis. I don't know if the Rockets will eventually send Whitmore away and Durant will be taken.
