The scoring ability is quite outstanding! Is it a good deal for the Wizards to acquire a new wing star from the Rockets?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Washington Wizards defeated the New York Knicks 120-103. After this game, the Wizards achieved their first victory in the preseason, with a current record of 1 win and 1 loss; while the Knicks suffered their first defeat in the preseason, with a current record of 3 wins and 1 loss.

In this game, the Wizards' new substitute wing player Cam Whitmore performed quite well. Whitmore played for 9 minutes and 54 seconds, shooting 3 of 4 from the field and 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists with high efficiency. He also had 1 turnover and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus of +3. Whitmore didn't play much, but he also showed comprehensive scoring ability, and his stability in mid-to-long-range shooting is quite good. In addition, Whitmore also showed certain passing ability, and his performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. Overall, with very limited playing time and a small number of shots, Whitmore also brought out his characteristics in all aspects. He also played his own role very well and made his own contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Whitmore only had 51 playing opportunities with his old club, the Houston Rockets, in 82 games due to the team's tactical arrangements, and his average playing time per game was He played 16.2 minutes, averaging 9.4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.6 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 44.4% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range, and 75% from free throws. In the playoffs, Whitmore played a total of 3 times and averaged only 1.8 minutes per game. Due to the limited playing time, Whitmore did not score a point during the playoffs. He averaged only 0.3 rebounds per game and did not record any other data. He shot 0% from the field and 0% from the three-point range.

In the team's first preseason loss to the Toronto Raptors, Whitmore made 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw in 16 minutes and 43 seconds of playing time. He scored 10 points, 1 steal, and 1 block, with a plus-minus of -27. Although Whittemore performed well on the offensive end, the problem is that his performance on the defensive end is actually very average, and the overall situation of the team when he is on the court is not ideal. In a trade this summer, the Wizards sent two second-round picks and acquired Whittemore from the Rockets. Judging from the current situation, Whitmore feels quite good on the offensive end and can score a lot of points. However, his performance in other aspects is still somewhat unstable. I wonder if Whittemore can summarize his performance in these two games and show his higher level in the next game.
