He’s not athletic, fluid and doesn’t score the ball at a high percentage. That was an awful trade in retrospect.

Front office was 0-5 last offseason. They need to try to move him for something ASAP value isn’t going to increase.

Hopefully we can send him to a place where he can play and get back on track. Not going to happen here

It's just that sometimes you whiff. Life moves on, but first the complaints and whining and calls for someone to get fired.

Wait, why isn't Thibs getting calls to be fired? Or Randle traded?

You had to do it. Only 6;posts in.

Cam is athletic and long. Potential to be a very good stopper/defender. Truth is, someone needs to tell him their is a nitch for him in the NBA. And that a wing three point shooter is not it. Should take a page out of Obi's book and just run and have high energy. He could be a good transition guy if he did not stop at the three point line. He also needs to cut off the ball more. He plays like the guy that is the main scorer. Waits for ball on top and tells everyone to clear out. Just not that guy. Still feel he is pressing and needs to be given more time though.

Briggs just in need of a fix. Needs that additional pick to post about.

I think this is the nail on the head. He has ability to be more if he develops, works hard, etc... but right now he's still proceeding like he's going to go quickly from a distant bench guy to a main contributor as a starter. He really needs to progress incrementally and try to work his way up. He may be feeling the pressure since this is his contract year. Maybe the ankle isn't helping but I defended him a lot and thought he simply needed more time. Right now he's worse then last season so something has to give for him or I'd be shocked if he's still here at the midway point. I think FO will take anything or use him as a throw in if it continues this way.

This is an absolutely ridiculous take. Knox played like he was high- at least Cam has a motor that keeps him running up and down the court. In the game he started he played really solid defense after his first rotation and ended up +15 despite shooting 1-7. Cam has the versatility to defend 1-4 and you saw that game that despite Halliburton's stats looking good, he finished -11 in his time, primarily because Cam was the main defender.

Cam parks in the corner because he has history as a great shooter from there. It's an 82 game season, let's root root for the home team.

Nope. Its about Briggs being right and letting the world know it!
Cam at 22 with his pedigree was worth the chance. We need a long wing and he is NBA ready. Drafting low or 2nd round rarely gets you a guy ready. It happens, but many picks don't. Nobody thought Cam is a sure thing and he has all season to get it together then decide to pay him or set him free. At the same time he gets to determine his own path.
It plays out as it plays out.

As it stands IQ might have to play his way back in if Grimes produces and Drose is healthy. RJ gonna play 35 min a game. Cam has an opportunity but can't say its looking good for him.

Im rooting for the team to win.

Short of a massive break out season this year, he is going to be asking Knox how he managed to get that 2 year, $6m contract from Detroit.

Not sure that would do it.

Cam is that kid in HS who is able to get by as great cause he is bigger/faster than other athletes. He got by 1 year in college, but should have stayed 4 years to work on his fundamentals.

His form is awful on his shot. Whether he can fix it with help or not is whether he can stick in the league.

He didn't really show out in Pre-season but it was pretty hard for that second unit to play cohesively. Even when Cam started, he didn't have a ton of opportunity to create.

Unfortunately, that's kind of the point. If he is going to earn minutes in the NBA at this point, I think it comes from being a defensive stopper first. That career 92% FT% is staring everyone in the face. That kind of shooting ability should translate to a 3&D paycheck. But he has to earn his way onto the court.

Just his ability to shoot free throws and defense alone warrants a spot in the rotation. I’m so sick and tired of watching us brick easy free throws
