Only watched the first pick - can anyone tell me why Nova’s Cam Whitmore dropped so far?

[BigJay]

Figured he’d be top 10 for sure.

I'm not sure but I was hoping the Warriors would select him since they need help in the frontcourt. Hard to say why he fell and nobody seemed to have an answer on the broadcast.

Shocked the Heat didn’t grab him at 18. Such a better NBA prospect than Jaquez

I like Jaquez but maybe its because I've watched much more of him than Whitmore since I live in Pac 12 country. Maybe Whitmore proves the doubters wrong but I think your right he probably should have been in the lottery.

I love Jacquez too. Great college player. watched a lot of UCLA games because they were fun to bet as the late-night game and I really like their coach and style of play, (plus I like catching Walton announcing if I can).

But I just see Jaquez as a role player in the NBA. Whitmore has the potential to be an All-Star

He's on the perfect team for him though because he doesn't have to be the guy and he can contribute to a winning orginization. That's how I view that pick and I think Coach Spo is thrilled to get a guy of his caliber with that experience factor that other prospects don't have. Who knows maybe Miami just really wanted Jaquez which is why they passed on Whitmore. I think Whitmore made more sense for the Warriors to draft and they didn't do it which kind of perplexes me as a Warrior fan because like I said in another thread I think they need an impact forward which Whitmore is.

Nice write up on Jaquez

My son was so fucking mad the Heat didn’t take Cam, we were largely disappointed. Heat gotta enough white players.

Rockets got away with 2 top 5 draft picks!
