The Cam Whitmore vs Hawkins summer league debate was the epitome of dumb message board poster GMs. You literally had several people wanting to blow the team up, fire Griff, fire Willie, dump Hawkins for nothing and completely start over because Cam Whitmore had a better summer league game than Hawkins. I just wish more of them would admit they were wrong.

Saying you think we should pick that guy, that's fine. But like you said and even before SL, right in real time during the draft, dudes are melting talking about how incompetent the FO is for passing on him, or whatever.
It's just so over the top, the hot takes are just absurd sometimes. Maybe he was the guy, maybe we didn't make the right pick. But the idea that it was just completely organization incompetence is just silly.

I’ll admit I would have drafted Whitmore. At 14 you roll the dice on a player that slipped and should not have lasted that long.
Kinda hilarious everyone thumping their chest right now. Whitmore just turned 19. How did Hawkins look at 19? He stayed in school an extra two years to develop. Hawkins is about nba ready a prospect as you are gonna be. He already had elite shooting. Glad to see he is showing to be more capable in other areas than what scouts thought. It’s good for the team so I’m happy.
And I’ll gladly eat crow in 3-4 years if Whitmore is still riding the pine and not producing. Until then, not a chance.
