This is Cam Thomas. He went from scoring 10 points a game to 26+ points a game in the span of a single offseason. How exactly did he improve at such a rapid rate?

    Cam Thomas is balling right now. He has been playing phenomenal. One of the league’s brightest young stars on the rise.
  • @canadasown02
    Calling them similar players is insane. Mikal is an all nba level defender. Mikal is still averaging 23/6/4 a night on 48/35 splits. Mikal has done more than okay this year.
  • @AirRusher1992
    Cam Thomas is ballin' right now and I can see him becoming an All-Star one day.
  • @jovanbrown9673
    This might be an unpopular opinion but Brooklyn may not be a title contender but they play hard every single game probably one of the few teams I can legit say play with heart
  • @brucelau2023
    Cam Thomas is absolutely balling rn and i can absolutely see him becoming an all-star one day no doubt, with what the Brooklyn Nets went through after the whole BIG 3 (James Harden, KD and Kyrie) he's really giving them a big lift
  • @EthanSchaner
    He lead all of Division 1 College Basketball in scoring as a freshman so I'm not surprised he's transitioned so well into a star scorer after a few seasons. Fun fact: He was born in Japan
  • @dispater101
    You could double team him at halfcourt and he'll still think that pulling a 3 at that spot would be a good shot 😂
  • @RandomBurner
    Kinda of weird now seeing that he was briefly on the same team with KD, Harden and Kyrie
  • He’s always been playing like this. He’s just been given the opportunity now to do it consistently
  • The Nets are slowly and quietly becoming a dominant team in the east
  • @sarc4sm68
    Jordan Crawford 2.0 phenomenal on offense, can shoot everywhere on the floor but bad on defense. He'll be a great 6th man on a contending team.
  • @opiniononion
    Mikal and Cam are not similar at all. Mikal is an iron man that shows up every game and a world class defender. He's a 3 and D that can work on any championship team. Cam is a gunner and a great 6th man but he needs the ball too much for what he's contributing.
  • @fndorigin9021
    Bennie Simmie's hope for another big contract : I'm in danger
  • @Jaykerz
    I feel like cam could be a super sixth man for a championship team
  • @Coach_Vedo
    well, this season cannot be more weird than it is rn. Houston,Indiana,OKC, and GSW as losing team with Steph,Klay and Green...
  • @donnie876
    Cam was dropping 40 point games last year but the nets barely played him.
  • I’m glad the nets are keeping him and letting him develop as a young player & talent
