  • One of the more underrated scorers this season has been Cam Thomas of the Nets and in today's video I broke down both his offensive, and all-around game to try and determine how good of a player he actually is.
    Thank you so much for watching!

    He’s top 20 scorer in the NBA as of today.
    28-4-2 on 48% shooting (not 26) in his FIRST season as a starter in 7 games.
    His “rough” moments are 16ppg I mean come on.
    He’ll be a 25-30PPG and he’s only 22 years old.
    He improved his passing and definitely his defense.

      Gets doubled a lot because Simmons doesnt contribute on offense so teams can easily double the nets good scorers

      @@virtuallifter2438 This 100%. Cam has actually done most of his damage in the paint and in middy. This is contrast to when he had those 40 point games last season, when he was hot from downtown. That is to say, if Cam keeps his scoring now (which there's no signs pointing to why it can't) and his 3 returns to norm...his % will go up. Not to mention his % is a bit of an outlier because he's had at least 1 or 2 a game when the offense is stuck, and he gets the ball with 7 seconds or less (usually less) and is forced to take a contested three.

    At some point Thomas will be looking to be a better passer and all around player. But right now the Nets need scoring if they are going to be competitive. And this is why he's getting so much playing time. Maybe that will change when Clax comes back and the Nets can be competitive on defense and won't need to rely on getting so many points from Thomas.

      I'll say that definitely plays a factor, but even in watching film, while he has improved he still has struggled a good bit on that end. The effort is there on-ball though I'll say that.

      That's exactly what it was. Notice he didn't use the plus or minus against the man he is defending each game. This league has a history of scoring machines that "weren't good" on defense and other teams figured out a way how to use them.

      facts, last night Nets only lost by 4 in a close game against the Bucks and Ben only had 2 pts in 3 shot attempts. If Ben can be slightly more aggressive on offense and average 8-10 ppg and keep up his great defense and rebounding that would be a huge help to this team
