The Houston Rockets are trading forward Cam Whitmore to the Washington Wizards for two second-round picks, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports.
Whitmore, who will turn 21 on July 8, was a 2023 first-round pick (No. 20 overall) by the Rockets out of Villanova. He was Houston’s second first-round selection that year, following Amen Thompson.
Last season, Whitmore averaged 9.4 points and three rebounds per game, shooting 36% on 183 3-point attempts. Those numbers were down from his rookie season, when he scored 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, also shooting 36% on 220 3-point shots.
However, Whitmore averaged 49 games in his two seasons with the Rockets, also playing in the G League to get minutes and develop. In 24 games with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, he scored 23 points with 6.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 40% on 3-pointers.
