Live broadcast on June 28 News rocket 20 show Whitmore revealed in an interview this week that he was willing to come to Houston when he met with rockets before the draft.
“I told them that I wanted to come here and I wanted to stay in Houston. I came for a trial, and then we had a meeting. I told them that this was where I wanted to come.” Whitmore said, “everything is right and people are good. I fell in love with the people there at that time. They respect me very much, which feels cool. I just feel very comfortable and suitable.”
