What you were told was...

Camden had good qualities that weren't able to be used until he developed the ability to stay on the floor (i.e. defend well enough to not get exposed) and that VT could only wait so long before he developed those traits Tyler Nickel coming to VT was a nail in the coffin for Camden because they were the same player but Nickel did the things Camden does at a higher level. It wasnt a matter of Camden was always going to be a bad player, it was that he didn't develop in the timeline needed and VT needed to move on...much like Patrick Wessler. Camden moved on to a place where he could play through his mistakes it made him a better player.

3-16 from 3 in his first 3 games. Most top prospects sat out the last game.

But I was told he was a lousy player by the experts on this board….

VT ChemE 1986 07/20/26 10:57 AM ET
Then...listen to people who have more experience and told you differently**
GCHokie34 07/20/26 11:04 AM ET
I don't have to listen to you are anybody else.
VT ChemE 1986 07/20/26 11:20 AM ET
You absolutely dont have to
GCHokie34 07/20/26 11:25 AM ET
If it doesn't matter, why do you keep talking?

Your reply 2 replies ago was a literal question to me...

Problem with NIL is that they are gone so fast they can't get developed.
