The Houston Rockets are trading forward Cam Whitmore to the Washington Wizards for two second-round picks, per ESPN.

The 20-year-old was selected by the Rockets with the 20th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. As a rookie, he flashed promise, averaging 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in only 18.7 minutes per game. In addition, he shot 35.9 percent from three-point range.

In his second season, Whitmore saw a slight minute reduction due to Houston’s crowded depth chart; he averaged 9.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game.

Whitmore was already behind Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason in the rotation, but this offseason, the Rockets crowded the depth chart even more by adding superstar Kevin Durant and forward Dorian Finney-Smith.

In Washington, Whitmore has a clearer path to playing time, as he should become a key piece for the rebuilding squad. He will join their young core of Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Bub Carrington, and AJ Johnson.
