The Washington Wizards entered the season with high hopes that a fresh start for Cam Whitmore would be the opportunity for the forward to prove why he was projected as a lottery pick entering the 2023 NBA Draft.
After a brief stint in Houston, where the Rockets quickly made it clear that the development of the Villanova product wasn't exactly on the top of their to-do list, a change of scenery proved to be on the horizon.
As a result, Washington jumped at the opportunity to land the former first-round pick at an extremely discounted price of two second-round picks; a price that seemed like a steal considering the potential that the high-upside wing could be a breakout candidate on a rebuilding team like the Wizards.
