His hands drop points, he smiles like all gamers, he's a boiling microwave... You can use the typical phrase you prefer to explain the offensive skills of a Cam Thomas who shoots even his sneakers and has a unique talent for scoring. At 23 years old, the Brooklyn Nets player already showed his tremendous scoring ability last season, but now he could aim for bigger things.

Being in an ecosystem like that of the Brooklyn Nets, where competitive pressure is minimal and they can give him plenty of shots, is the dream scenario for Cam Thomas. Perhaps he's not a complete player and lacks somewhat on defense, but his clarity in shooting and an increasing trend in distributing assists make him a very fun player to watch. Many doubt that he can be a star, but Jordi Fernández's project may succeed in recovering lost players like Simmons or developing pure talents like Thomas.

The ability to score from any position and the proliferation of clear situations that the team will provide him make it seem like Cam Thomas could contend for the scoring title. After three games, he's averaging 30.7 points, just behind Davis, Tatum, Doncic, LaMelo, and Maxey. They will all feel the pressure of competing for important things, while he will have full freedom to play without pressure, with the possibility that the team may end up focusing on him, helping him score even more. An intriguing season is unfolding in the Brooklyn Nets with this player.
