The Nets know Cam Thomas is a bucket. The rookie knows it, too. But both say he’s so much more.
After a five-point, 2 of 11 start through three quarters, Thomas poured in 16 in the fourth — including a dagger 3-pointer with seven seconds left. His teammates showered him with water in the victorious visitor’s locker room afterwards.But more than that. Thomas also grabbed four rebounds, played the point down the stretch and handed out a couple of assists — one to LaMarcus Aldridge, with whom he actually ran some two-man game.
As his defense and playmaking have improved, it’s allowed him to get on the court and stay there on a veteran-laden roster. “He knows how to score early already. His growth is coming along as far as knowing how to read, when he’s doubled, when to drop it off. The toughest thing as a scorer is you always can just shoot it. Now he’s learning to take this shot, pass, this time,” said Aldridge, who noted Thomas’ self-assurance. “That’s why he has a leg up on playing well, because he already believes in himself.”
