owen, i’m a bit lower on michael lewis than most normal ppl from semi-personal experience but i’ll still snap read the book when it drops.

I was out after his “the market is rigged bc frontrunning exists”.

Just to elaborate, he is now 25 for 59 this year, and 31 for 76 after last year’s all-star break. That’s 56 for his last 135 for 41.5%

Still a smallish sample size, but definitely enough to grab one’s attention

That’s still 3 losses in a row, and they caught some good teams at the right time. I think they’re not “bad” as in tanking, but they are probably not getting out of the play-in. Kessler can only take them so far….

(thing is, it kind of looks sustainable!)

I don’t think Cam is particularly strong, seems that his length is his major advantage, and he does seem to hang in the air pretty well. What impresses me most is how well he finishes. Usually when he gets in trouble it before he gets well into his move. But the dexterity and length are elite and once he gets around the rim he’s tough to stop. He’s not George Gervin or anything, but some of his finishes are really uncanny.

On defense, his length really stands out. He’s like a bigger version of Frank. Blocks, strips, closing off passing lanes, closing out on 3’s…he’s a presence beyond his box score stats.

I wouldn’t say he’s a keeper just yet, his blooper reel is just as impressive as his highlights. But he gives us something that other teams have in spades…a long, rangy guy who can be really disruptive on both ends at all 3 levels.

I said before the season that he’s the only player on our team with th physical tools to become a superstar….obviously the odds of him making it to that level are like 10,000 to 1, but they are not *zero* like they are for everyone else on the roster. It will be interesting to see where he tops out, whether here or somewhere else.
