Cam Whitmore is One of The Greatest Rookie Scorers This Year...And Maybe Ever.

It's a Whitmore World down in H-Town, if they give him the chance to show it.

“Steal” is a word that has been thrown around constantly since the 2023 NBA draft centered around one specific prospect: Cam Whitmore.

After some supposed character/injury issues, the former Villanova Wildcat — who was once projected to be the 5th overall pick — saw his draft stock careen all the way down to the 20th pick, falling right into the Houston Rockets’ hands. Flash forward to today and you’ll find that Whitmore is only beginning to get consistent chances from Ime Udoka and the crew. What you’ll also see is that he’s secretly one of the best rookie scorers this season. Wait, scratch that — he’s one of the greatest rookie scorers ever. Don’t believe me? I have the data to back it up.
