Whitmore: I have a difference in roles with the Rockets and Wizards, but that s not a problem for me

The wing star Cam Whitmore, who had just joined the Washington Wizards, recently interviewed by reporter Brandon "Scoop B " Robinson, in which he was also asked about the role he would play on both offense and defense next season and the difficulties he might have when he changed from a role player when he played for the Houston Rockets to a potential starter next season.

When talking about my role as the Wizards next season, Whitmore said: What I have to do is to have a huge impact on the game on both offense and defense. You know, my defensive ability should be quite outstanding in the entire league! So I believe that as long as we can maintain sufficient concentration on the defensive end, we will not have any problems on the defensive end. Speaking about the difficulties of transitioning from a role player to a potential starter, Whitmore continued: It wasn't that difficult either. In my opinion, I certainly hope to get more playing time and performance opportunities, and I think I am ready and I have this ability. But in the final analysis, everything still depends on the coach's arrangement. The same was true when I played for the Rockets before. I would do my best to complete whatever the coach wanted me to do. Having said that, this is still the case.

In the NBA regular season last season, Whitmore only got 51 opportunities in 82 games due to the team's tactical arrangements, 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 performed well last season. He actually showed quite good scoring ability during the regular season. He is also capable of providing some threats to his opponents on the offensive end. Whitmore's progress in other aspects is not obvious, and his playing style is also somewhat out of place with the Rockets head coach Ime Udoka's system, which also leads to his lack of playing time and he is not able to appear stably in the team's rotation lineup. He was also sent to the Wizards by the Rockets in a previous deal. I don’t know how many playing time and performance opportunities he will get in the Wizards next.
