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%.
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.
I've never been a huge fan of Cam, but you have to give the guy credit for always playing with energy and effort even when his minutes fluctuate.
lol it would be funny if we just keep re-upping him on vet mins because he bails us out for a 4-game stretch once a year.
I would take him back again on a vet minimum every summer until someone else decides to pay him more.
I mentioned this in another thread, but here's a tweet. Sorry, Cam, but we need to be giving DFS your minutes.
He can still have a role and make valuable contributions defensively BUT the hook has to come sooner. If the defensive impact isn't there or he blows multiple layups... time to sit.
That's it. I like Cam a lot but if he's not cutting it then play someone else more like DFS. He does what Cam does but can actually score.
