After a breakout campaign during the 2023-24 season, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas is primed to take on a large role for the team in the long run. Last season, the three-year veteran averaged 22.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. He also started 51 games and averaged 31.4 minutes per game. All these numbers are career highs for Thomas. Additionally, he finished seventh in Most Improved Player voting for last season. Following his career year and the major trade of Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks, Thomas is in a great spot to take it to the next level next season.
