Rockets Trade Away Former First-Round Pick Cam Whitmore
HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 5 – Cam Whitmore, turning 21 this week, moves to the Wizards for a larger role while the Rockets gain two second-round picks in the rebuilding team's trade, sources said.
- The Houston Rockets have reached an agreement to send small forward Cam Whitmore to Washington in exchange for two second-round draft selections.
- The trade follows the lifting of the NBA offseason moratorium on player moves Sunday and aims to give Whitmore more playing opportunities in Washington's rebuilding roster.
- Whitmore, a 6-foot-7 Maryland native and 2023 first-round pick, averaged 10.8 points over two seasons with limited minutes for Houston.
- According to ESPN Research, Whitmore scored 0.46 points per touch last season, ranking fourth among players with at least 1,000 touches.
- The trade returns Whitmore closer to home and represents another step in the Wizards' offseason overhaul to acquire young, versatile players while accumulating assets.
