Whitmore: Green will make a breakthrough in the Suns, and he should have been to the All-Star when he was with the Rockets last season

The wing star Cam Whitmore, who had just joined the Washington Wizards, recently accepted an interview with reporter Brandon "Scoop B " Robinson, in which he also talked about his old teammate Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets' heavy signing of Kevin Durant.

When asked what impact he thinks Green will have on the team in the new season after joining the Phoenix Suns, Whitmore said: To be honest, I think Jaylen Green is a great player and has very strong athleticism. I think he should have been selected for the All-Star last season, but you also know the situation now. I think this season could be a year for him to make a big breakthrough. Although many people are questioning his performance, I will always support him and he is my good brother. When talking about the impact Durant's joining may have on the Rockets, Whitmore continued: Durant is very suitable for the Rockets' system. But at the end of the day, when that day comes, I've been marked on the calendar on that day, so it's going to be a great game!

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%.

This summer, the Rockets made a huge adjustment to the lineup. In the deal involving Durant, Green and Dillon Brooks were packaged and sent to the Suns, and Whitmore was also sent to the Wizards in a subsequent deal. After streamlining the lineup, the Rockets' goal for next season is also very clear, which is to hope to launch an attack on the championship. For Green and Whitmore, they may also gain more playing time and performance opportunities next season, and these two young players with unlimited potential, super athletic ability, and huge potential to tap also need to prove their value through their performance. I don’t know how things will develop next season. Can the Rockets' record improve, and can Green and Whitmore prove their strength?
