Thomas chipped in 22 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 loss to the Cavaliers.
Widely heralded as one of the best pure scorers in the NBA, Thomas is backing up that assessment with strong display after strong display. The efficiency is not always there, as evidenced Saturday, but he handles a big enough volume on offense to remain relevant as a scorer even in games during which he isn't particularly efficient. Thomas has scored at least 22 points in seven of his 10 outings this season, including four contests in which he surpassed the 30-point mark.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Leads all scorers in loss
Rotowire
Thomas produced 36 points (14-27 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.
Thomas hit the ground running in the season-opener, landing a game-high 36 points. After a modest start to the game, Thomas caught fire late, pouring in 20 points in the fourth quarter. On a Nets team lacking offensive punch, Thomas is poised to shoulder the bulk of the scoring load. If you drafted him in the middle rounds, you have to be thrilled with his initial output.
Thomas notched 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), a rebound, two assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason loss to the 76ers.
Thomas wasn't as efficient as he's been in other preseason contests, but nonetheless, he continues to show he's ready for the start of the regular season. One of the most prolific pure scorers in The Association, Thomas will be the Nets' primary offensive weapon and should hover around the 20-point mark in most games. He's coming off a 2023-24 season in which he averaged a career-high 22.5 points per contest.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Looks ready for regular season
Rotowire

Thomas scored with efficiency on the way to a team-high 17 points, and he's now 4-for-8 from distance over his last two preseason matchups. The 23-year-old guard appears locked in ahead of the 2024-25 campaign and should have every opportunity to erupt as one of the top contributors on this Nets squad. Thomas will have a few more opportunities to get work in during the preseason Wednesday in Philly and Friday against the Raptors.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Plays 17 minutes in preseason loss
Rotowire
Thomas tallied 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists, a rebound and a steal across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 115-106 loss to the Clippers.
As is customary with most preseason games, Thomas and the rest of the first unit played sparingly. Tuesday's starting five was not a good representation of the eventual first unit as Nic Claxton (hamstring) was held out of the contest, but we did catch a glimpse of what the backcourt might look like. While Thomas is entrenched in his role at the off-guard slot, Dennis Schroder and Ben Simmons appear to be locked in battle for the other backcourt position. Claxton's absence resulted in a small-ball setup where Schroder and Simmons played alongside each other, but it will be interesting to see how both are utilized moving forward. Regardless of how things shake down, Thomas' role will be largely unaffected, and he should continue as one of the team's top producers.

Thomas supplied 18 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.
Thomas leading the team in scoring despite a 21-point defeat is emblematic of Brooklyn's 2023-24 campaign. While Thomas' 55.4 true-shooting percentage isn't exactly worthy of being an offensive engine, his tough-shot making and ability to get buckets versus all types of defenders has solidified him as a top isolation scorer of the next generation. Thomas ascended to career-high marks of 5.0 free-throw attempts and 6.0 three-point attempts per game this season, creating true multi-level productivity to help balance his scoring diet.
