Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has been lighting up the scoreboard like Times Square on New Year’s Eve while making an early case for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award and potential All-Star consideration.
As of November 6th, Thomas ranks second in the league in points per game on drives (14.4), trailing only De’Aaron Fox, 13th in points per game (26.0), and has the 28th-highest HoopsHype Global Rating (17.73). Defensively, Thomas has also made strides as a defender, which has earned him consistent playing time to start the season.
Thomas spoke with HoopsHype about his breakout start this season, what he learned from Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, playing with Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton’s growth, expectations for himself and the Nets this season, and much more.
