Podz forced Kerr to be in a rotation. Kerr is notorious for not playing rookies if they are not mature enough to contribute and willing to do the small things because Warriors is always trying to contend. TJD and especially Podz are mature beyond their years and they are ready to contribute in a contending team much more to a rebuilding team.
Great comment. Also, and to be fair, the considerable drop off in play of others surrounding Steph has also forced his hand. Kerrs philosophy of not playing rookies is sensible when you have prime Andre Iguadola and guys like Shaun Livingston coming off the bench. As it stands right now, they’re a fringe contender and technically on the outside looking in. They’re no longer the most athletic and fastest team. They are now the least athletic, the smallest and a bit slow. So the youth infusion was more necessary than anything and as it turns out - Dunleavy should get major credit for drafting so well
You took the word out of my mouth there. I think Co Jo was actually supposed to be the one who Kerr planned to play as a back up point guard, but Podz's impact in the game is undeniable that he does not only take Co Jo's role but even gets to start with the main line up.
This is very similar to when people were ranking Kyle Kuzma higher than basically everyone is his class halfway through his rookie season. Keep in mind Tatum, Bam, Jarrett Allen, Lauri, Donovan Mitchell, and Fox all came out of that draft.
Being 68 I have watched college ball and the NBA for over 50 years. It was apparent to me that JJ was going to do well in the NBA and would be a contributor wherever he landed. It was obvious that he was tough, competitive , and the type of person who would put in the work to get better. Teams spend too much time trying to grab the pick with the big upside ( which is really code for too young and immature ) rather than looking for players with the profile of JJ.
100% agreed with your take, Podz and JJJr went to a perfect situation and fit with great players around them, not sure how they will do in a loser team like Detroit, Charlotte, Wizards. I guess we will never know... I think JJJr is flying under the radar, soon he will be in the scouting report, we will see how he does, but he is fearless in attack, and he does decent job in defence.
This honestly the best comment. Neither are transcendent talents and wouldn’t be able to overcome bad teams. But in think in time Jaquez can develop into an all star level player like Jimmy and Kawhi did.
I agree... But there are very few players that can translate across all team situations. Bottom line is, those two players should've been drafted higher, no matter what the situation was/is
JJJ can fit into any rotation, so I think he would do well on any team, but definitely not this good because spoelstra is good at minimizing players weaknesses.
I'm a Heat fan, so I have watched a lot of Jaques. The only player I would take over him is Wemby. He can do everything Jimmy Butler can do. The only thing we haven't seen him do is take 15-20 shots per night, but it looks like he can do that and maintain his high efficiency.
As a Warriors fan I love Podz but I actually wanted us to draft Jaquez but yall picked before us 😂 doesn’t really matter tho because Podz has been exceptionally amazing as well, so we both got win-win draft steals
@@peterbuchel3205Podz is undoubtedly tough as hell & he sacrifices his body for big plays. I can see why that could be worrisome for is health going forward. But yeah I personally I wouldn’t be all that worried about his health as of rn.
In defense of his durability he is coming into the league older and stronger than other rookies, he’s not an explosive vertical player, and he’s young and healthy enough to recover from injuries quickly… I hope in a couple years he’s good enough to not have to put his body on the line every play and someone else on the court can have that job.
He isos more efficiently than Jimmy and is the hub around the entire offense with the exception to Bam. He gets to The line and is super efficient. I think 20 on higher volume is very easy to see
Can someone fill me in on how Podziemski went from playing very little as a Freshman at Illiniois to becoming a first round NBA draft pick the next year playing for Santa Clara? Was he not given a fair shot at Illinois?
Podz was Gatorade player of the year good for the state of Wisconsin his senior year had plenty offers on the table including Kentucky opted to stay close to home and attending Illinois further making a name for himself but due to coaching philosophy freshman never get the opportunity with the program favoring upperclassmen in the depth chart. After failing to properly provide a role for Podz he goes to Santa clara where he’d get back to balling out in a major way leading us today where even a long time fans are can’t help but blown away. Breaking out on the seen early he is contributing to one of the most coveted clubs in all of sports. No better players to pick the brains of then Steph CP and all. That paired with his motor BP bound for one hell of run. It’s great to see all the hard work pay off. Keep balling hard Brandin
I think people seem to forget that a player’s situation is everything. We wouldn’t hear of POD and JJJ if they were buried deep on a depth chart of a team that doesn’t need them
@@Aande40 draymond getting suspended, Wiggins playing like a shell of himself….. warriors literally have no bench. POD is nice but hes definitely benefitting from a situation with no depth . warriors are literally playing Trayce Jackson Davis a second rounder and Moody who was DNPed all of last year
@@sprintstothebathroomdaily2429 correct. I love podz, reminds me of a poor man’s Manu Ginobli, and if the warriors are lucky he’ll be close to what manu was. But in the NBA you need a superstar to lead a team to the chip. You want podz and TJD to be the second and third options not the first. You need a steph, a Kawhi, a Lebron, Jokic etc. Warriors just need to keep collecting assets like that to make a few of ‘em tradeable in the coming years. Like a Kuminga in a package to bring back a real star to play with a more developed Podz/TJD after Steph is gone and THEN you’ll have a contender again (if you’re lucky)
If anything their situations make it more impressive, Kerr and Spo usually have short leashes with rookies. Spo for example still rarely relies on Nikola Jovic despite him having a good run at the world cup and great G League stats and the fact that the Heat have a ton of wing options makes JJJ's run even more impressive.
Definitely above Anthony Black, Jarace Walker, Taylor Hendricks, Jett Howard, Gradey Dick, Jordan Hawkins, Kobe Bufkin and Jordan Hood-Schifino. Have outplayed pretty much everybody other than Wemby but based on arguments over upside you have to expect teams would still definitely take Miller and Scoot over them, and very reasonable cases for Coulibaly, Wallace, Lively and maybe George. Thompson twins hard to say because their shots are so broken. Anything in the 5-8 range makes sense to me in a redraft.
you might be too young to remember the 2017 draft where Kuzma was the oldest like Jaime and ppl were ranking him 2nd halfway through his rookie season. Tatum, Bam, Jarrett Allen, Lauri, Donovan Mitchell, and Fox all came out of that draft.
@@gators9570you rlly didnt actually pay attention to the comment. You notice how i compared them both being the oldest in their draft. Therefore ofcourse they will look like the best right away. Jaime is nearly 3 years older than most the guys in the lottery. The same way Kuzma was. The same way Keegan was last year. Yall have to pay attention
@@Shortballa11 what does any of that have to do with saying something in the 5-8 range for Jaquez or Podz seems reasonable, which is all I said? Who are the 8 definitely better than Kuzma from the 2017 draft? You're making up arguments that nobody made.
@@rcnordo43665-8 is definitely reasonable for Jaime and Kuzma. Same for Keegan Murray who was older. Its all the same, Im just pointing out that before ppl act like he is the second best prospect we have to wait for those other players to become 22-23
Podzi and Jaquez are exactly where they need to be,there are certain teams that require certain type of players,Miami,Gsw,Boston and Detroit being shit
Boy... this is an early redraft. Why aren't the Warriors giving Podziemski more of Thompson's minutes? He's shooting pretty efficiently and seems impactful in other areas.
he is averaging 30 minutes a game right now. Having taken over Wiggins minutes . Playing amazing, but only 1 20 point game. Klay had 6 20+ games in a row in that stretch. Klay is not going out of the starting line up any time soon.
It's crazy how good Podz and Jaime JJ are but at the same time I wouldn't count out the rest of the rookies yet. Guys like Jarace Walker, Bilal Coulabali, Taylor Hendrix, IMO these guys just need some more seasoning and they will produce as well.
We'll see in one or two years if it matters. Lots of guys get their groove on their rookie season. The following year, they get even more run and the league has video on them, then the troubles begin. A redraft after 30 games? lol
Heat offered herro Lowry Duncan Robinson draft picks 5 to 7 years from now.Jaime wasnt included.Chances are Milwaukee is going to suck worse.The picks alone are worth more than jaime.They are also going to flip brogdon and Robert Williams for more picks.Also Toumani Camara is going to be a great defender for a long time.
BPOD is the young Manu Ginobli in the making here. He's a lefty, with touch, can play full court, half court, can get 3-8rbs a night, playmaker, high intelligent, has a knack finding the ball, has euro-steps, can play pg/sg, take blocking-charge, ability to steal the ball from opponents, not afraid big moments, elevate other players on the team. Simply put, BPOD got the IT factor. You can't teach that. NBA scouts, fantasy nerds, only see players that can dunk and automatically anointed those players as NBA ready. Wrong. That's why these people missed out on JOKER, BPROD in the draft. Professional sports required BRAIN 🧠 to play in the NBA, NFL etc etc... Ofc, you need athletic and tougness. But to survive as a professional player? Gotta have brain, intelligent, and savyness. BPOD got that. He's the next Manu Ginobli, imo.
Thinking of guys I'd currently take over them... Wemby for sure. Miller and Scoot probably just for the upside, but Scoot would be highly questionable. And then honestly I'd have them in the same group as guys like Lively, Ausar, and Keyonte. So 4th-10th prolly
KoC has lost credibility with all of his bad scouting reports with killian hayes, sadiq bey and all the other prospects he deemed on the level of Luka or something along those lines. He was so high on them that they were like gonna take over the nba and its been years and theyre complete nobodies 😂😂😂😂
if drafting from the senior class meant you got established vet level NBA players, half the league would be drafting these guys every year but they aren't cause those players dont exist. jaquez was just overlooked plain and simple
It’s not rocket science guys. Teams draft on two scales, athletic 1/1 scoring potential vs. team glue guys that can fit any system. Podz isn’t the guy we see 10 years down the road as your first option. Not at all. People point to Curry but fail to realize just how talented curry was coming out of college. He was elite at something and glue guys aren’t elite at any one thing other than heart hustle and fundamentally sound
@@superphito say that 1/3 into a season is crazy especially considering guards take longer and Jaime is almost 23 years old. This is the equivalent of went Kuzma was the best rookie the 1st half of his rookie season.
@@superphiscoot Henderson is 3 years younger than him💀💀... the NBA doesn't compare players to their draft class, they compare players by age. How does Jaquez stack up against other 22 soon to be 23 year olds in the league?
@@sindilacion Have ANY 22 year olds played more 4th quarter minutes this year than him (only 4 players in the league have)? (Let alone, for a team that made it to the Finals?) And, jeez... "compare players to their draft class" is EXACTLY what the NBA does, every draft (just not always very shrewdly) (although I don't buy that anyone would like another shot at Pod, except in his supporters' fantasies).
People love to evaluate talent like these guys are NPCs in a 1-on-1 tournament. It's just not the case. 99.9% of them need to fit into a team dynamic and contribute to winning. Waiting for the 0.1% that drag everyone up with them means being bad for a long time and discarding some could'a been good players all along the way.
Out of the top ten, who are you taking out? Amen Thompson, Walker and Hendricks? But also right outside of the top ten is Lively, Dick, Hawkins and George, all of whom have played really well, just most of them aren't on good teams. So would Pod and Jaquez be playing this well for Houston, Utah, or Indiana? Maybe.
Is hard to compare a centre vs a guard, especialy when they fit very good on their teams...Jaquez would have less min. in Dallas than Lively, bc Mavs need much more a centre...
You know what Jaquez is better than Lively and maybe Podz too but Lively is more VALUABLE to the Mavericks and he fits better with the Mavs and has a better role, Mavericks have been NEEDING a center who can play elite paint defense and a lob threat for Luka
@@dougiet.2112 did you know that scouting NBA prospects actually starts way before college? Have you heard of high school basketball? AAU and all the other amateur circuits? What about the players coming from overseas? Come on dude use your brain.
@@dougiet.2112 Depends on the talent. For top prospects there isn't much to look into their 1 and done season so they are looking at little things that would make them into great pros. For guys who are turning pro with 3-4 years of college ball, you are looking at how well their skillsets work in team ball and how fast they can pick up the speed of the NBA level game. Because there is a reason why they stayed in school rather than be considered a top draft prospect.
@@Marjoss1 "When people discuss...draft", they are "basing it [mostly] off a college season....." I never said, "scouts". It's not silly to have a discussion about players about 25 games into playing at the HIGHEST LEVEL, but it doesn't define players either. BTW, they pod only twice a week. Haven't really listened since it was once a week
@@t4d0W drafting is not a science, i'm pretty deep in the trenches. wingspan being VERY important, how college rebound rate typically transfers to the nba for Bigs (good rebounder in college=good rebounder in pros for bigs); freethrow percentage, and touch on floater being a better indicator for shooting than college three point percentage; Do not focus on a guard's defense/mostly about their offense; With all that, you can still miss big due to personality, work ethic, environment good/bad, and hard to even evaluate if a form is changeable They had 2 years+ to scout the covid 2020 draft, and look at how bad all of these proffesional scouts/coaches/knowers of ball did.
@@dontmindme4197thats fine. But my point is older prospects come out more mature and therefore jump to the conclusion they will have better careers too early. its the same for Keegan Murray. Great player but he is like 3 years older than most of the top picks in his class
@@Keebemoving "Draft equivalent"= elite, 4 year college player who was drafted outside the lottery because of a perceived lack of upside that turns into an immediate impact player who will have a long, productive career. Was that really that hard to understand, kid?
The NBA needs to re-evaluate their evaluation process. Everybody wants to draft on raw potential and not solid proven players that maybe are almost maxed out, but ready to contribute right away.
Because teams who hold the top draft picks usually don't wanna compete until 4 more years, or more. They're always looking for upside and potential. In Miami's case, they're competing, the draft and free agency is basically a retooling period for them, not rebuilding. So on a draft, Jacquez being 22 is usually a red flag , but not for a team like Miami.
he's good, but he isnt the top of this draft. Just like Kuzma in 2017 was ahead of all the younger players by plenty become stars and he is just a good nba player.
@@Shortballa11 He's way craftier than Kuzma was, and is getting craftier still, at a greater rate than Kuzma is doing (which is why Kuzma has been sending up smoke signals for years that he desperately wants to play for the Heat). A better comparison is Luka, who had pro experience at a young age when he came into the league, and so was able to get bulk minutes right away, which he was able to refine into more and more skill... the big difference between the two being that Luka dances better (is shiftier) on offense, but Jaime dances better (is shiftier) on defense (and thus, maybe just maybe, may possibly prove to be a better playoff player, at the same age).
@@bobh1208Im sorry but this is a terrible take. I dont think you even understand my comparison. Jaime is about to be 23. Prob the oldest in the draft so ofcourse he is high IQ, mature body, and automatically impactful. Thats why him and Kuzma are similar. Luka was absolutely a child phenom who came in the league averaging 21 8 n 6. The luka of this draft is Wemby and its not close. Those guys are all time great caliber. Jaime is not that or even close.
Podz definitely found a good situation. In the summer league he looked ordinary because he was surrounded by guys just trying to impress and there was no system, to the point some fans were lamenting why we didn't pick Cam Whitmore. Once he was surrounded by high IQ players he has blossomed.
Podz forced Kerr to be in a rotation. Kerr is notorious for not playing rookies if they are not mature enough to contribute and willing to do the small things because Warriors is always trying to contend. TJD and especially Podz are mature beyond their years and they are ready to contribute in a contending team much more to a rebuilding team.
Great comment. Also, and to be fair, the considerable drop off in play of others surrounding Steph has also forced his hand. Kerrs philosophy of not playing rookies is sensible when you have prime Andre Iguadola and guys like Shaun Livingston coming off the bench. As it stands right now, they’re a fringe contender and technically on the outside looking in. They’re no longer the most athletic and fastest team. They are now the least athletic, the smallest and a bit slow. So the youth infusion was more necessary than anything and as it turns out - Dunleavy should get major credit for drafting so well
You took the word out of my mouth there. I think Co Jo was actually supposed to be the one who Kerr planned to play as a back up point guard, but Podz's impact in the game is undeniable that he does not only take Co Jo's role but even gets to start with the main line up.

Markanen and Anunoby too.
Jarrett Allen? The dude looks older than that dang
Kuzma never had a great feel for the game. Its not Podz or Jaquez situation
I disagree with this take but I do think it’s a solid one. The difference is JJJ is coming in as a 2 way player.
JJJ spent 4 years at ucla there’s the difference. Most if not all those guys were one and dones
Being 68 I have watched college ball and the NBA for over 50 years. It was apparent to me that JJ was going to do well in the NBA and would be a contributor wherever he landed. It was obvious that he was tough, competitive , and the type of person who would put in the work to get better. Teams spend too much time trying to grab the pick with the big upside ( which is really code for too young and immature ) rather than looking for players with the profile of JJ.
Media is always a prisoner of the moment.
Yep just like Kuzma in 2017 being the oldest player and ppl calling him better than Tatum and everyone else in the draft
Pods is the perfect combination of someone who’s smart but able to do the dirty work. Absolutely love him as a dubs fan. Absolute steal.
100% agreed with your take, Podz and JJJr went to a perfect situation and fit with great players around them, not sure how they will do in a loser team like Detroit, Charlotte, Wizards.

It’s not rocket science guys. Teams draft on two scales, athletic 1/1 scoring potential vs. team glue guys that can fit any system. Podz isn’t the guy we see 10 years down the road as your first option. Not at all. People point to Curry but fail to realize just how talented curry was coming out of college. He was elite at something and glue guys aren’t elite at any one thing other than heart hustle and fundamentally sound
steve kerr has not been coaching well. for the last 3 years… that golden state offense played out with all this young talent
Jaquez 2nd pick on redraft
That's a wld take
@@agayactornamedmichaeldougl6289 Yeap it’s wild but other then wembanyama, I don’t see Brandon miller or scoot being better then him
@@superphito say that 1/3 into a season is crazy especially considering guards take longer and Jaime is almost 23 years old. This is the equivalent of went Kuzma was the best rookie the 1st half of his rookie season.
@@superphiscoot Henderson is 3 years younger than him💀💀... the NBA doesn't compare players to their draft class, they compare players by age. How does Jaquez stack up against other 22 soon to be 23 year olds in the league?
@@sindilacion Have ANY 22 year olds played more 4th quarter minutes this year than him (only 4 players in the league have)? (Let alone, for a team that made it to the Finals?) And, jeez... "compare players to their draft class" is EXACTLY what the NBA does, every draft (just not always very shrewdly) (although I don't buy that anyone would like another shot at Pod, except in his supporters' fantasies).
Chris Vernon looks zero percent like I thought he looked. Hearing his voice coming from that face is so confusing
I think its about JJJ's age more then anything. 22 for rookie thats alot
That rationale can cause you to miss out on the likes of Dame Lillard though. Rare, but happens
Kevin looks high in this video
People love to evaluate talent like these guys are NPCs in a 1-on-1 tournament. It's just not the case. 99.9% of them need to fit into a team dynamic and contribute to winning. Waiting for the 0.1% that drag everyone up with them means being bad for a long time and discarding some could'a been good players all along the way.
Podz the next Jordan
as a rockets ran n we picked 4th i rn would choose jaimie over amen i haven't seen brandon play yet so idk about him
That means you didnt have any faith in Amen to start.
Jaimie is 2 years older than Amen. You don't compare players to their draft class, you go by age.
@@sindilacionyep this is just like 2017 when ppl were saying Kuzma was better than everyone else and he was 22 and Tatum was 18.
and we see them face off tomorrow
I'd take craig porter jr over both
A lot players best season is there rookie year
Zach Eaton will be an NBA dud
Out of the top ten, who are you taking out? Amen Thompson, Walker and Hendricks? But also right outside of the top ten is Lively, Dick, Hawkins and George, all of whom have played really well, just most of them aren't on good teams. So would Pod and Jaquez be playing this well for Houston, Utah, or Indiana? Maybe.
Jaime objectively should’ve gone top 6-7
@@gators9570rebuilding teams would rather go for unproven talent unless that 22y/o is generational talent or they just silly
"rat team" a phrase which could perhaps be improved upon -- shit or doo-doo the obvious upgrade
Jacquez is awesome but he was in college for four years so was kind of supposed to be more NBA-ready than most of these guys just because of age alone
Im still taking Derek Lively over podz and jaquez
Lively ain’t better then jaquez 😂😂😂😂
@@Keebemoving lively is shooting 75% from the field and is a future dpoy. He is better
Is hard to compare a centre vs a guard, especialy when they fit very good on their teams...Jaquez would have less min. in Dallas than Lively, bc Mavs need much more a centre...
You know what Jaquez is better than Lively and maybe Podz too but Lively is more VALUABLE to the Mavericks and he fits better with the Mavs and has a better role, Mavericks have been NEEDING a center who can play elite paint defense and a lob threat for Luka
@@Keebemoving Mavs are 1-5 without lively and 17-7 with him... but yea hes not that good
Too many bad teams and GMs drafting for potential and not immediate production.
I understand you gotta pump out content daily, but this is such a silly thing to actually discuss after 25 games in these guys careers.
It's not silly. When people discuss the actual draft, they are basing it off of a college season that's like 30 games
@@dougiet.2112 did you know that scouting NBA prospects actually starts way before college? Have you heard of high school basketball? AAU and all the other amateur circuits? What about the players coming from overseas? Come on dude use your brain.
@@dougiet.2112 Depends on the talent. For top prospects there isn't much to look into their 1 and done season so they are looking at little things that would make them into great pros. For guys who are turning pro with 3-4 years of college ball, you are looking at how well their skillsets work in team ball and how fast they can pick up the speed of the NBA level game. Because there is a reason why they stayed in school rather than be considered a top draft prospect.
@@Marjoss1 "When people discuss...draft", they are "basing it [mostly] off a college season....."
I never said, "scouts". It's not silly to have a discussion about players about 25 games into playing at the HIGHEST LEVEL, but it doesn't define players either.
BTW, they pod only twice a week. Haven't really listened since it was once a week
@@t4d0W drafting is not a science, i'm pretty deep in the trenches. wingspan being VERY important, how college rebound rate typically transfers to the nba for Bigs (good rebounder in college=good rebounder in pros for bigs); freethrow percentage, and touch on floater being a better indicator for shooting than college three point percentage; Do not focus on a guard's defense/mostly about their offense;
With all that, you can still miss big due to personality, work ethic, environment good/bad, and hard to even evaluate if a form is changeable
They had 2 years+ to scout the covid 2020 draft, and look at how bad all of these proffesional scouts/coaches/knowers of ball did.
Jaquez is the draft equivalent of Malcolm Brogden.
I'd say he is Kyle Kuzma in 2017. Tatum, Bam, Jarrett Allen, Lauri, Donovan Mitchell, and Fox all came out of that draft.
@@Shortballa11he better then kuz because of Bball IQ
@@dontmindme4197thats fine. But my point is older prospects come out more mature and therefore jump to the conclusion they will have better careers too early. its the same for Keegan Murray. Great player but he is like 3 years older than most of the top picks in his class
Stop talking hoops he already better then Brodgon right now kid 😂
@@Keebemoving "Draft equivalent"= elite, 4 year college player who was drafted outside the lottery because of a perceived lack of upside that turns into an immediate impact player who will have a long, productive career. Was that really that hard to understand, kid?
Podz is trash he just plays hard and he’s a white guard which Kerr loves. He ain’t better than Moses Moody
This is such a dumb hypothetical. Make better content.
The NBA needs to re-evaluate their evaluation process. Everybody wants to draft on raw potential and not solid proven players that maybe are almost maxed out, but ready to contribute right away.
Because teams who hold the top draft picks usually don't wanna compete until 4 more years, or more.
They're always looking for upside and potential. In Miami's case, they're competing, the draft and free agency is basically a retooling period for them, not rebuilding.
So on a draft, Jacquez being 22 is usually a red flag , but not for a team like Miami.
Jacquez is not good
Stop talking basketball
he's good, but he isnt the top of this draft. Just like Kuzma in 2017 was ahead of all the younger players by plenty become stars and he is just a good nba player.
Jaquez is not good, he's freaking great.
@@Shortballa11 He's way craftier than Kuzma was, and is getting craftier still, at a greater rate than Kuzma is doing (which is why Kuzma has been sending up smoke signals for years that he desperately wants to play for the Heat). A better comparison is Luka, who had pro experience at a young age when he came into the league, and so was able to get bulk minutes right away, which he was able to refine into more and more skill... the big difference between the two being that Luka dances better (is shiftier) on offense, but Jaime dances better (is shiftier) on defense (and thus, maybe just maybe, may possibly prove to be a better playoff player, at the same age).
@@bobh1208Im sorry but this is a terrible take. I dont think you even understand my comparison. Jaime is about to be 23. Prob the oldest in the draft so ofcourse he is high IQ, mature body, and automatically impactful. Thats why him and Kuzma are similar. Luka was absolutely a child phenom who came in the league averaging 21 8 n 6. The luka of this draft is Wemby and its not close. Those guys are all time great caliber. Jaime is not that or even close.
Podz definitely found a good situation. In the summer league he looked ordinary because he was surrounded by guys just trying to impress and there was no system, to the point some fans were lamenting why we didn't pick Cam Whitmore. Once he was surrounded by high IQ players he has blossomed.
Like JJJ he also went to a great situation tbh
