The Washington Wizards have struggled to find a winning formula to start the season.
Between lackluster execution, underwhelming performances and simply a lack of talent, Washington finds themselves back at the drawing board searching for an answer to the team's ongoing issues.
Considering head coach Brian Keefe's effort to send his team a wake up call with his recent challenge for his squad to look in the mirror, it's clear something needs to change.
Following the team's players only meeting, it's obvious the players on the team feel the same way.
With winning the upmost important for a team who's grown accustom to losing, it may be time for the Wizards to consider making yet another lineup change on the season.
So far this year, Washington has seen a variety of different starting lineups rolled out.
With Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly and now Tre Johnson taking turns starting in the backcourt alongside veteran CJ McCollum, it's evident that Brian Keefe hasn't set in stone a surefire starting lineup when healthy.
And with each lineup change not resulting in a winning formula, maybe it's time for Washington to reconsider yet another move in the team's starting lineup.
Of the young talent that has gotten the chance to crack the starting lineup, there's one player in specifc who's yet to hear his named called.
That player? Cam Whitmore.
When Washington made the decision to land Whitmore, the team bet on his potential to develop into the dynamic wing scorer he was projected to be out of college.
So far, he's shown flashes of what he can do, especially when given an extended role on the floor.
With that being the case, it's hard to imagine why the Wizards coaching staff has yet to pull the trigger on giving Whitmore a shot to prove how much of a difference maker he could be in the team's starting rotation.
Averaging 8.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists in a minimal role in 17 minutes per game, it's hard to overlook the possibility of how impactful he could be in a starting role.
Looking at Whitmore's Per 36 projections from NBA.com, in an increased role the wing could be looking at averages of 18.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while also contributing 1.8 steals per game.
The talent is there and if the team ever wants him to meet his potential, it's worth giving him a crack on earning the starting job, especially considering the fact the team has yet to find a successful lineup.
