Lmao, yeah definitely a bit on those last parts

Extremely talented scorer though and a good rebounder for his position (largely cuz he’s nearly 7 feet)

Out of curiosity what is the system? The one game I saw of the Nets kinda looked like everyone just had a total green light.

HGH buckets. Not grass fed, free range buckets

High fructose corn buckets.

AI prompted ass buckets

Cam Thomas buckets contained GMO’s, BPA even Asbestos

Out of all the trade deadline stuff, I’m most excited to hear his take on this one.

Every player in the nba is a decent basketball player

You’re an incredible pick up basketball player if you can do that. Unfortunately there is more to competitive/organized basketball than scoring 

His peak on a serious team is 6th man, not sure when he’ll realize it

He’s goona want to be a 1st option/starter wherever he goes. You think him moving to the bench of another team is suddenly goona make him happy

It’s insane lol. There are plenty of guys in this league that play defense just as bad if not worse then Cam Thomas, don’t particualary assist the ball well themselves but can score the lights out and haven’t come close to getting waived.

Must be something else idk.

Yeah but some of the most toxic kinds of guys to have around are the ones who are convinced they’re way better than they are. Those guys just turn into absolute locker room cancer.

Wait, can’t it be the Jordan Poole effect?

Jerry Stackhouse sends his regards

That’s disrespectful to Beal, he was a legitimately good scorer during those years.

Kuzma in the ²²⁄₂₃ and ²³⁄₃₄ seasons with the Wiz is a much better example.

Monta Ellis was the godfather of empty stats.

Sure they can. College basketball is chock full of guys like Thomas who can get buckets with ease, but just can’t do enough else on the court to justify NBA minutes. You give many of them 35 minutes and a green light to take 20 shots and they’ll give you the same empty 25 points a night.

Thomas was absurdly lucky to be in the right time and place to get that opportunity. It won’t ever happen again for him.

He’s near the top of the annual Forbes “if this guy is averaging 25 PPG your team is trash” list

After all that

Everyone wants to be Kobe without putting in the work to actually play like Kobe.

If cam locked in on defense and cared about winning more than stats, he’d get the minutes and role he desires.

It’s possible that now he’s gotten to be the #1 on a team he knows he needs to take a step back. He had his chance as the guy, couldn’t make it work. Hopefully he can realize that.

Toine at least was a really good passer, and could put the ball on the floor a little bit, especially given his size. He was also a really crafty post scorer, even though he went away from that as he got older. Cam Thomas just sees buckets.

Without the size for his position.

There are never enough guards for the bulls

Bucks

They would take Aaron Hernandez is he was still here

He wasn’t even giving his opinion, just that he’s heard people around the league say it

I mean it was clear for a while. Jazz waived clarkson an had to give a second to get rid off sexton. The Trae deal didn’t get any picks, Cavs gave a second to get off Garland and now Thomas being waived. Small combo guards are worth jack shit. Even nick smith jr couldn’t survive his rookie deal.

I’m always confused why guys who are bad at only defense don’t just.. work to get better.

not even a hot take these kind of players are being phased out of the league for a bit now

Tbh his scoring isn’t that great either.

Dude your username is nasty.

Hey just a heads up in case it wasn’t a typo. You mean “wary” which means cautious, not “weary” which means tired. It’s a very common mistake. 

Did somebody say guard?
