2023 Fantasy Outlook
Whitmore arrived at Villanova as a consensus five-star recruit and was named the Big East Freshman of the Year in 2022-23. He appeared in 26 games, making 20 starts and posting 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 threes per game. A strong, athletic wing who attacks the rim with ferocity, Whitmore projects as a true wing/small forward in the NBA. He's well-developed, physically, for his age and has a 6-foot-8 wingspan, which should enable him to be a solid defender and rebounder at the next level. While Whitmore averaged less than 1.0 assists per game at Villanova, he's a willing passer who was asked to function more as a score-first player in college. Whitmore will have to prove he can consistently shoot the three from NBA range, but it's encouraging that he knocked down better than 34 percent of his attempts (4.2 3PA/G) in college. Whitmore was expected to be drafted early in the first round but slipped to the Rockets at No. 20 due to medical red flags. He shed immediate concerns by winning Summer League MVP, averaging 17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.0 assists in 31.0 minutes across six appearances. However, his path to minutes as a rookie is cloudy. The Rockets made win-now moves during the offseason, filling out the roster with veterans like Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks. That leaves Whitmore fighting for reserve run with Amen Thompson, Kevin Porter, Jae'Sean Tate, Tari Eason and Jeff Green. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Whitmore isn't an every-night part of the rotation. He may be sent to the G League for stretches as a way to make sure he gets minutes and develops.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Cam Whitmore arrived at Villanova as a consensus five-star recruit and was named the Big East Freshman of the Year in 2022-23. Whitmore appeared in 26 games, making 20 starts and posting 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 threes per game for the Wildcats. He poured in a season-high 26 points against Xavier on Jan. 7, draining three three-pointers and finishing 11-of-18 from the field while adding two rebounds and an assist. In Villanova's Big East Tournament victory over Georgetown, Whitmore went for 19 points and 10 rebounds in just 28 minutes of action.As a high school senior, Whitmore was selected to play in the McDonald's All-American Game. He also played for Team USA at the FIBA Under-18 Americas Championship in 2022, where he was named the MVP of the tournament. A strong, athletic wing who attacks the rim with ferocity, Whitmore projects as a true wing/small forward in the NBA. He's well-developed, physically, for his age and has a 6-foot-8 wingspan, which should enable him to be a solid defender and rebounder at the next level. While Whitmore averaged less than 1.0 assist per game at Villanova, he's a willing passer who was asked to function more as a score-first player in college. Whitmore will have to prove he can consistently shoot the three from NBA range, but it's encouraging that he knocked down better than 34 percent of his attempts (4.2 3PA/G) in college. A likely mid-lottery pick, Whitmore has the skillset and body to be an impact rotation player right away. Time will tell whether he can develop into a star-caliber player, but the talent is certainly there. In terms of an NBA comparison, Whitmore's game resembles shades of Miles Bridges, Keldon Johnson and Jae Crowder.

Finishes rookie season strong
FHouston Rockets
April 14, 2024
Whitmore finished Sunday's 116-105 victory over the Clippers with 21 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
This was a strong finish to Whitmore's rookie season, and he seems poised to take on a larger role in 2024-25. In 47 appearances, Whitmore compiled averages of 12.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers on 45.4 percent shooting from the field.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Streaming appeal down the stretch
FHouston Rockets
April 2, 2024
Whitmore ranks eighth league-wide with 20.6 shot attempts per 36 minutes since Feb. 1, ranking behind Jaren Jackson and ahead of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
ANALYSIS
Whitmore has been sidelined for 12 games over that span, most recently due to an ankle injury, but his 15 appearances still represent a fine sample size. Whitmore notched 13 points off 12 shots in 22 minutes in his return to action Sunday, so he appears to have the green light to jump into a sizable role throughout Houston's final eight contests of the season with a Play-In Tournament berth on the franchise's mind.
