After one season at Villanova, Cam Whitmore has the hallmarks of a future star
Villanova's Cam Whitmore plays during an NCAA college basketball game, Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, in Villanova, Pa. Over the past few decades, Villanova has become renowned as something of a basketball factory, producing a slew of NBA draft picks.Enter Cam Whitmore, who is about six weeks away from changing that.
The explosive 18-year-old took the Big East by storm as a freshman and has been rocketing up draft boards ever since.At 6-foot-7 and 230 pounds, Whitmore is physically imposing. He often uses that frame to overpower smaller defenders on the way to the hoop.Whitmore can jump out of any gym, and has the speed to beat defenders down the floor and body control to finish at the rim.
As a former McDonald’s All-American coming out of high school in Maryland, Whitmore arrives with a sterling pedigree befitting a future star. He burst onto every scout’s radar at the FIBA 2022 Under-18 Americas championships, playing his way to tournament MVP honors. In his sole college season, Whitmore averaged 12.5 points and 5.3 rebounds en route to earning Big East Freshman of the Year honors, despite missing the first seven games with a thumb injury.
