In his “23 Players Under 23,” Tom Ziller of Good Morning Basketball puts Cam Thomas on his “honorable mention” list. Not bad for a 20-year-old in his second year. And Thomas did have a solid first season despite concerns about his defense and playmaking. He had 10 games of 20 or more points including a 30-point game vs. Utah and a 21-point effort complete with the game dagger against the Knicks at the Garden. In the month of February, he averaged 16.5 points a game.
It was also during February that Sean Deveney reports Thomas became a highly sought player with a lot of teams making offers to the Nets at the trade deadline.
