    Yeah he's our KCP. If his shot continues falling, he's a closer on our team and that's huge for him (and his wallet)

    Cam was one of the lone bright spots tonight along with Dlo.

    Continues to be a star in his role.

    Tremendous nose for the basketball. Really can't wait to (eventually) see the pressure we can create with Cam and Vando just hounding guys defensively.

    Exactly what we needed, although so many people had doubts. Can't blame them for it, it was a risky move, but he seems to love playing for the Lakers and his effort is superb right now.

    Why did Ham have Prince on Fox to end the first half instead of Cam who was on the bench?

    That predictably ended in a disaster with Fox pushing a lead that been wittled down back to an overwhelming margin

    He might have needed a blow?

    Cam bringing that energy and defense again today.

    He's becoming a valuable asset for us.

    All over the court defensively. Really sets a tone with his engagement.

    What a find. He's like a prime Trevvoe Ariza during a contract year right now

    His game reminds me a lot of Ariza. Wily long defender, gets into passing lanes, deflections, great defensive instincts. Keep knocking down that three as well please. But I also like how Cam is unafraid to put it on the floor too.

    Man am I enjoying watching this kid shine.
    Such a good thing to see someone who’s been struggling for years finally put it all together.
    We better keep him this summer.

    I agree with all of you: from the Ariza resemblance to the hope we keep him this summer. He's doing great!

    That's top end impact (for pennies) from someone we expected to be outside of the rotation. Couldn't be happier for my guy.

    One thing we have in our favor is that Cam knows this is a good system for him. Dang, it looked like he was just about ready to be out of the league soon and had nobody on his side. When you look at what he brings to us, that just blows my mind. If I were him, I would find a way to stay here. I am just waiting to see AD and Lebron with Cam and Vando. We are going to be a tough playoff team for anyone.

    I was thinking the same thing. AD, Cam, and Vando on the floor together will be awesome defensively.

    I’m finding it hard to get into this season. The team just seems a bit lethargic and apathetic to begin.

    But I'm happy for Cam, he has the tools and it’s nice to see consistent effort on the defensive end.

    Look at Jokic man... Truly one of a kind.

    Magic would have never drafted him, of course, due to being too fat.
