Cam Whitmore
The remaining player on the board is no longer on the board he's in our left wall That's TV jargon uh so cam Whitmore headed to the Houston Rockets 20th overall projected lottery pick but perhaps a slide because of an injury concern missed the first seven games of his collegiate career because of a thumb injury he was the Big East freshman of the Year forward averaged 12 half points five rebounds per game back here on the clock Matt norlander and Adam Finkelstein and and we finally have Cam Whitmore coming off the board he can end this awkward weight in The Green Room why the slide for cam Whitmore multitude of factors and what we have here is really one of the more unprecedented slides we've seen in recent NBA draft history I mean Whitmore East had projected lottery pick Whitmore as as recently as a week ago was heavily in the conversation to be going in the top five and really even entering into draft night there were some NBA teams that were curious to see okay was this talk about Whitmore or sliding real or fake and if he's slick did that mean okay he's going to eight or nine he goes all the way to 20. the biggest reasons are he had a really good pro day but ever since then for whatever reason and there's sometimes there's a variety of factors why this can be the case he just did not seem to have a good string of Team workouts and that includes the interview process and then we will see whether or not this actually means something years down the road but I can report in talking to a multitude of League sources and and some that reiterated this in the course of this draft the concerns over his medical with a couple of issues in his lower extremities clearly had an impact and you know Adam I can't help but think that group think might have also played a part here because if as you well know when you talk to NBA guys sometimes if they're really honest with themselves and there's a player and then one team doesn't take them and then team BC and D don't take them then team e might be like well what are we doing here like do we want to be the team that takes them so this could he might have been a victim of that as well because you're higher on them than I am but we both agree he is nowhere near he should be not slotted anywhere near the number 20 Prospect in this class well let's put it this way a week ago when we were trying to project this draft everybody knew what the top three picks was in conventional wisdom was that Houston was debating between amen Thompson and cam Whitmore for the fourth overall pick in the draft now they got them both yeah so this this is an a for Houston and whether or not it works out or not this is more than worth the risk cam Whitmore conservatively is a top 10 talent in this in this class aggressively he's top three top five talent in this class and now you're going to get get a cam Whitmore who comes in with a chip on his shoulder the overlap of explosiveness and sheer power is off the charts not a great shooter in high school but made significant strides at Villanova now he needs accountability who's he going to he's going to play for emeodoka who is one of the most no-nonsense coaches in the NBA we compared cam Whitmore to Jalen Brown in the pre-draft show who's the coach that brought the best out of Jalen Brown email adoka this the real a here this believe it or not I know this is a long night for cam Whitmore this is a good thing for cam Whitmore in the long run if this is a wake-up call and got him going about what it takes to be a professional on an everyday basis gets him in a situation where he's valued it's a good thing for cam Whitman do you feel like in a few years we're going to be looking back at this 2023 NBA draft we're going to say cam Whitmore went 20th overall what the heck happened I don't know if we I actually don't know if we will be expecting that um I think we'll be looking back and we'll be saying yeah Victor lemonama went one obviously that should have happened there and Scoot should have gone too yeah so I think but with Hughes now Adam's points about udoka are extremely well taken Houston has listen I don't know every NBA roster inside and out but I'm just telling you it feels like they are top three in terms of pure athleticism all around like I'm in Thompson and cam Whitmore could prove to be the two most athletic guys to to jump off the court in this in this particular draft so I I agree this is good motivating fuel we will see how he fits into all the pieces there they have at Houston I still I got to be convinced that they're not going to be in the lottery in 24 and 25 and maybe 26 but maybe getting two players at a time they've got to bring in state I know their their big game hunting and free agency they got to bring in stable vets I don't want to call them the G League ignite but you need like the the imeiodoka needs reinforcements with veteran presence in the locker room because you had a lot of young uh impressionable kids that needed to be guided through this process but sheer talent in those young young ages is is really impressive now in Houston but they have to have a veteran presence in that locker room so we we heard that that maybe James Harden would consider going back to Houston would you want James Harden around this young group and I know that's sort of a loaded question but perhaps you sell the idea to him hey we're going to pay you but this is a mentorship role for you as you finish your career because there's a ton of talent in Houston I I don't know if that is honestly the best thing for the franchise yeah at this juncture to bring in someone like Hardin who's going to command the ball as much as he's going to when you really do want to have the opportunity to have your young Talent really grow into something the hardened situation may stymie that overall but Houston is a franchise with a lot of interesting things on the table we will see if they can actually grow into a playoff team in short order

James Cameron. Content Warning.
Ocean Gate shouldn't have been doing what it was doing I think that's pretty clear I wish I had been more vocal about that but I think I was unaware that they weren't certified because I wasn't really studying it I wasn't really interested Stockton Rush asked me if I wanted to go out there and dive this season you know I wasn't interested this poor I mean his father and son on Father's Day you know paid half a million dollars to go down on this thing only you know it's just it's just tragic and it's horrific and it's unnecessary and by the way it's not lost on me as as somebody who studied the meaning of Titanic it's it's greater meaning to us you know historically and societally that it's about warnings that were ignored that ship's lying at the bottom of the ocean not because of the nature of its steel or the nature of its compartments but just because of bad seamanship the captain was warned there were icebergs ahead it was a moonless night and he plowed ahead for whatever reason I think there was some greed there was some glory in it he had a he had a boot up his rear from Jay Bruce Ismay to get into New York on time or or early so they'd have a headline which I show in the in the film you know and here we are again and at the same place you know now there's one wrecked line next to the other wreck for the same damn reason search search four days of search they're searching everywhere they're they were running around with their hair on fire the sub was right where it was it was literally on the sea floor below its last known position which is the first place you look in the search is the last known position you don't go running around all over the landscape with planes and Trains and Automobiles searching right it was right where it was when it imploded and I knew that's where they were going to find it we'd never expected to see a scenario like this you know we we may go into hazardous environments like hydrothermal vents or even to a wreck like Titanic or Bismarck or some of the other wreck sites which are dangerous from an entanglement standpoint or a collapse a structural collapse standpoint but you never worry about the vehicle the platform that you're in you know and you certainly don't worry about employ there's never been an implosion of a vehicle with people in it and so I think this I don't want to say a blind side of the community because there was a lot of concern and by the community I mean people who operate subs and build subs for a living there was a lot of concern about this outfit and this sub a lot of concern even to the extent that I wasn't involved in it because I was making Avatar 2 at the time but a lot of them got together and wrote a letter to uh to Ocean Gate and said you have to certify you cannot take people down it's irresponsible and it could lead to catastrophe
