    Cam Thomas has shot the ball 2nd most in the league.

    He's shot more than: Steph, Luka, Jokic, Durant, Brunson, Mitchell, Embiid, Shai, Tatum and Ant.

    When Thomas has shot < 20x per game, Bkn is 3-1.
    When Thomas has shot > 20x per game, Bkn is 0-3.

    Cam Thomas would crack 10 minutes at most in a Ime coached rotation.

    I can’t even hate on Cam Thomas right now…if Jalen Green was putting up those same numbers right now, everyone would be saying he’s a budding superstar

    Thomas‘ stats are pretty incredible. Elite level scorer type stats.
    Let‘s see if he can keep this pace up and if his stats can translate to winning.

    Need to wait a couple more years to really evaluate who the better 2 guard is. Jalen is just now learning to play real basketball with a real coach.

    Cam is just now getting consistent minutes and the opportunity to shine.

    Thomas skyrocketed despite being a much lower pick.

    Keep in mind that it's only a 7 game sample for Cam Thomas. Same reason all of us here need to be a little cautious on Sengun. After we get to around 20 games, we'll have a clearer picture about what's sustainable and what's just a hot streak.

    This very well may be true, but is extremely arrogant coming from you, after you have been pushing cherry-picked bulshit stats for two years to convince people that Green is actually not trash.

    Zero self-awareness!!

    Cam is what we thought Jalen would be. The bigger issue is that we took JC and UG over him. I wanted him really bad, it was an obvious selection at that point. Smh

    100% agree…..was very upset when we passed on him for Christopher who I did not have as a first round talent and knew that Cam was the nation’s leading scorer at college. Weak GM took him to appease Green and passed over a serious talent.
