With all the single dimensional scoring guards/wings all throughout the years, you’d thought there would be more but Cam will be the first if he keeps up this pace.

Is his scoring worth the non existent playmaking?

“They don’t pay me to pass the ball” - cam Thomas, probably

He's not averaging 27 ppg.. you don't round up on stuff like this lol

[–] Cj_cruzz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

26.9 would yield the same results

Called a shooting guard for a reason

Pure bucket getter

Literally averaging 2.1 assists per game 🤦‍♂️

His scoring is big due to the self-creation. The nets don't have much outside of him. He's also a much-improved (not great, but better than before) defender.

Cam "Ball Stops Here" Thomas

Honestly.. I love this. It gotten kinda boring expecting every 2-guard to be a good passer :D

Dominique Wilkins removed from the record books again. The man dropped 30 points and 2.5 assists per game.....

I hope he averages 40 for the year and wins MVP

He’s not asked to be a playmaker, he’s tasked with being a scorer. He still makes the right reads but it’s not like the Nets have a ton of shooters around him who can capitalize on his gravity.

Cam Thomas is what the warriors wanted Jordan Poole to be.

Chucker on a mid team (don't downvote me bro!)

[–] wahwahwiwa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He passes plenty if you watch the games and he's getting better. The nets are just a brickfest and cam is the only bucket

It says hes avg 3.8 ast via google

[–] Downtown_Soft_202@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There’s this one clip we’re hes jumping and has his back to the basket but ends up shooting anyway 😆 he made it too

This definitely has a lot to do with how great he is at rising up over defenders and making tough shots in situations where most other guards would have no choice but to pass.

Compare it to an 8 game stretch in other player's careers, not the entire season, and you will find plenty more examples.

He’s a perfect duo with Simmons
