Cam Thomas has solidified his position as one of the top scorers in the NBA. Since becoming a regular member of the Nets’ rotation two seasons ago, he has consistently demonstrated his ability to hit tough shots.
Recent Performance
Thomas’s most recent season was his best yet. Despite limited playing time due to injuries, he averaged:
- 24.0 points
- 3.3 rebounds
- 3.8 assists
He shot 43.8% from the field and 34.9% from three-point range.
Injury Challenges
The left hamstring strain that ended his season in March was just one of several setbacks Thomas faced this campaign. Prior to this season, he had played in at least 57 games each year; however, this year he suited up for only about half that number (25) due to health issues. Despite missing significant time due to injury, particularly towards both ends of their schedule, Thomas still managed to make an impact when healthy.
Scoring Ability
As Brooklyn’s primary scoring option on multiple occasions when called upon by head coach Jacque Vaughn, Thomas proved himself capable of assuming a larger role within the team’s offense. According to data tracked by Basketball-Reference.com, he led all players on New York with an average score above what teammate Mikal Bridges tallied, despite having fewer possessions available than him overall.
Areas of Improvement
Thomas also showed improvement in several areas during this season compared to last year’s campaign:
- Increased free throw rate by nearly four percentage points (from .217 to .221), now higher than any other player on Brooklyn who averages more than five minutes per game.
- Improved mid-range shooting (.465 vs. .442).
- Made more shots beyond three-point range (.342 vs. .335).
- Posted slightly better true shooting percentages (.563 vs. .557).
According to Basketball-Reference.com, Thomas ranked third among all players who have played at least five games with an effective field goal percentage above .500 since February. This indicates that even though injuries limited him significantly throughout much of the regular season, whenever healthy enough to play alongside Mikal Bridges and others, Cam proved himself quite reliable.
Performance Against Top Teams
Moreover, it’s worth noting how well Cam performed against top-tier teams. Among players who have appeared against every team currently holding playoff spots since February, Cam ranks second behind only Luka Doncic, averaging over eight points per contest. This shows not only did Cam prove himself reliable but also demonstrated dominance against tough opponents.
Conclusion
Overall, despite being hampered by injuries throughout much of the season, Cam still managed to put up impressive numbers and show flashes of brilliance whenever given the chance. He is making a strong case to become a key contributor moving forward, especially considering how thin the roster looks without either Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving.
