Cam Thomas Is A Hooper!
Cam Thomas is now leading the rebuild. One of the most exciting shooters in the league.
The Nets are trash this season. They hope to win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes next off-season. This could lead to many players being up for sale throughout this season. By February, Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith could find themselves on new teams. With a solid foundation of young players such as Jalen Wilson and Nic Claxton, to name a few. There is one player who has been exciting since the start of the season. Cam Thomas is a bucket on the court!
Cam Thomas is one of the best scorers in the league. With 27 points per game, 35% 3-point shooting, and 43% shooting, Cam has the green light from the Brooklyn Nets. He has made the most of it. Thomas is great at playing on and off the ball. He can create his shot by shooting 3s, midrange, and layups. Defenses struggle to contest his shot due to his high arc. Along with his ability to get physical, he can get to the line or create separation. His way of shooting floaters is a work of art. With how high he shoots, it makes it tough for the centers to block his shot. Cam Thomas is one of the most exciting parts of the Brooklyn rebuild.
Last season, Cam Thomas and head coach Jacques Vaughn did not see eye to eye. For whatever reason, the coach did not like the idea of starting the young guard. He can hold his scoring-wise. Now, with a change of coach in Jordi Fernández, it seems like the 21-year-old is getting more freedom. To become the first option on the Nets in 2024. The start of the young guard's career started rough. Playing behind Kevin Durant and James Harden. With a fresh start, Cam can play without pressure of winning and develop his game.
The young 21-year-old has no pressure to lead the Nets to a championship anytime soon. But he has excelled against teams like the former champions, the Denver Nuggets. Dropping 26 points in an overtime loss. Or against the former champions, the Milwaukee Bucks, where the Nets were able to pull a win. Dropping 32 points outperforming Damian Lillard. As of right now, the Nets are 2-3 and have been able to pull some impressive wins. Soon they will come down to earth and try to get Cooper Flagg. One thing that is guaranteed is that Cam Thomas will continue to be a hooper. It is even plausible for him to become an All-Star this year. Thomas is one of the most exciting players this season.
