The San Antonio Spurs got Victor Wembanyama. That’s good for them. This is preseason, so we’re really focused on the Houston Rockets right now. There will be plenty of articles handing Wemby his flowers and showing him doing crazy athletic things. So we’ll brush past all that.
Going into the preseason, I figured that Cam Whitmore would be the odd man out of the rotation. Yes, he was sensational in Summer League, but that’s Summer League and this is the NBA. Even with the exile of Kevin Porter Jr., the Rockets are still loaded at the wing, if not with guaranteed stars then at least with potential stars that Ime Udoka needs to play.
