Wizards vs Bucks NBA Preview
Cam Whitmore has a clear path to plenty of playing time to begin his tenure with the Wizards, which hasn't been the case too often in his career.
Bilal Coulibaly is out. So, Whitmore should start at small forward for Washington tonight.
Veterans CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton aren't locks to see a full complement of starter minutes.
That means there could be even more playing time available for the younger players.
Houston never unleashed Whitmore, but he showed plenty of scoring potential when given the chance.
Whitmore played 20+ minutes in only 18 games last season, yet he averaged 16 points per game in those contests.
In 23 games playing at least 20 minutes as a rookie, Whitmore averaged 15.9 points per game.
He should be in line for at least mid-20s minutes in his Wizards' debut against the Bucks tonight, with the upside for 30-plus.
