Matt Waldman on Cam Akers

All-in on Akers' persona-driven upside if competitive fire intact

Bob Harris expresses strong conviction in Cam Akers as a draft target, stating 'I'm all in on that' when Akers is available a couple picks after the Kyren Williams tier. Matt Waldman reinforces the endorsement, emphasizing that Akers' persona, behavior, and playing style are inseparable from his value: 'his persona, how he acts, his behaviors is part of how he plays.' Waldman notes he wrote a contrarian take defending Akers' backflip as authentically him, and is 'all in on Cam and that crazy that he is' as long as the competitive fire remains.
