Since the selection of Reed Shepard, fans have been looking forward to the Rockets, especially many young people, and they are even known as the Rockets' Seven. Although it is impossible for them to stay in the team in a few years, it is enough to see the growth of these players.
However, as soon as the preseason ended, the Rockets ushered in bad news, and many attentive netizens found that Rockets wing Cam Whitmore unfollowed the team's official Twitter. After this news broke, the fan circle was simply detonated in an instant, and Cam Whitmore was suspected of being dissatisfied with being used as a tool by management.
Originally, before the start of last year's draft, Cam Whitmore had a top five market, and even many Rockets fans were discussing who was better for the Rockets to choose Amen Thompson or Cam Whitmore with the No. 4 pick. However, in the end, the situation changed, and the Rockets used the No. 4 pick to get Amen Thompson as they wished, but no one expected Cam Whitmore's market to plummet, and finally the Rockets used the No. 20 pick in the first round to get him, which was the number one leak in last year's draft. Cam Whitmore is also really competitive, averaging 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game last season, and the Rockets suffered a wave of injuries in the closing stage, so it can be said that Cam Whitmore is like the core of the team's second team.
However, the fierce competition within the Rockets has caused a lot of pressure on Cam Whitmore, especially the Rockets management is suspected of taking Cam Whitmore to reduce the price of Jalen Green in the matter of renewing Jalen Green, but the latter seems to be very unhappy with this. So in the last game of the preseason, Cam Whitmore's performance was obviously affected, he fell out of the main rotation lineup, and he shot 0 of 3 from the field, and only got 1 rebound and 2 assists. I thought Cam Whitmore was in bad shape and showed some nerve knives, but judging from the current situation, it was a precursor to Cam Whitmore's break.
In fact, the so-called injury risk is only one of the reasons why his market plummeted last year, Cam Whitmore has underlying psychological problems, and he is not good at dealing with people during college. Now this problem has arisen again, for Cam Whitmore, over-emotionalness may affect the future career development, he simply shut down the Rockets Twitter, and did not include other teammates, so it should be just a simple vent, but the Rockets coaching staff and management may not think things so simple.
