    He’s been great better than Max on defense.

    Not sure what more he needs to do for JJ to trust him to finish games

    Defense was atrocious in the last 2 4th quarters and I thought Cam has played very well. Not just the defense, hell actually get you boards, and he's the only guy on the team who hill hot the deck for a loose ball.

    Franz was cooking everyone but Cam by far gave him the most trouble. But you can't put him there for the last few possessions after hes gotten all confident and warmed up feasting on everyone wlse

    I thought it seemed like he was hitting a surprising amount of his 3s. Didn't realize his actual % at that low volume was higher than Jokic's league leading 56%.

    :rock: :cool:

    Cam just not good enough offensively right now - need a stopper who can actually be a consistent threat on offense.

    He did a great job of crashing and getting two and-1 opportunities. Other than that, the offense was hard to watch.




    Such a shame cause he had a really good defensive game. Got shook out of his shoes twice, but he played some very strong defense against Monk, DD, and Fox. And as always, elite job playing the passing lanes.

    Cam is so close to being a 40 million dollar type of roleplayer yet so far. Got to hit that open 3s. Maybe JJ should actually have him dribble a bit: his passing is pretty decent and harder to sag off a guy.

    If you are the guy guarding the quickest/craftiest ball handlers, you will be put in skates every once in a while.
    Yeah, the shot is bad, just like Vando’s, but the dude gives maximum effort on D and I love watching him on that end.
