Cam Whitmore's NBA future? Nobody's entirely certain

 Whitmore burned through one season at Villanova. The remainder of his improvement should be in NBA.

My perspective on Cam Whitmore's NBA future? I truly don't have one.

That is unique, coincidentally. I basically consistently have an assessment on the expert fate of Huge 5 players. Been off-base a lot of times, somewhat off some of the time, right on target with my portion. Be that as it may, I have an estimate.

Whitmore, no thought. Does his extraordinary dangerousness mean a higher level? What amount of time will that require? What's his job?

Don't have any idea.

I messaged a couple of NBA scouts, inquiring as to whether I was inappropriate to not have an assessment.

"You are essentially on the right track by any stretch of the imagination," one said.

"I believe that is fair," one more said.

Promotion

The NBA drafts on potential, and Whitmore has heaps of it, so he's been ascending fake drafts, from top 10 to perhaps top five. He could wind up as the most noteworthy Villanova draft decision of our lifetime. Considering that chance, having no opinion is odd.

"He's worked for an ace day," one scout said of seeing Whitmore rise of late. Simply not ascending on this scout's very own board: "I don't cherish on-competitors that don't peruse the game well and improve others."

Oof. So that is all there is to it? Nah, not in any way shape or form. Just takes one group to like you.

"I think he'll be a genuine scorer," a third scout said. "What else he does, I don't know. Very youthful."
