Cam Thomas came out of the Nets closet

We stayed on a cam thomas logically frustrated because he was not playing. Barely ten days later, he was smiling again. The back has just chained a game with 17 points (6/13), 6 assists and 4 rebounds on the floor of the Wizards, then 21 points (5/11), 4 rebounds and 4 assists the next day in Charlotte.

” It means a lot. The first two or three weeks of the season were difficult for me. I can’t thank coach JV enough for trusting me to finish a game and for making me play so much in the last two games », explains the 21-year-oldaiming for Jacque Vaughn.

The latter has been acting since Steve Nash was fired by Brooklyn. The Canadian had only used Cam Thomas twice, for a total of about 13 minutes played and only one basket scored. The back seems to have benefited from this referral. Against the Wizards, he took advantage of a “blowout” (+42) to play 32 minutes and about as much the next, in a much tighter game in which he played the “money time”.

“ It’s great that Cam finished the game. It’s a life lesson. It’s amazing the differences that can happen from one week, or two, to another. And he was ready. Cam is a basketball player. I could take her to Rucker Park, Crenshaw. He can play and does an amazing job », greets Jacque Vaughn.

This change on the bench of the Nets is not the only factor that played in his favor. With Kyrie Irving suspended for at least five games, more than 38 minutes on average must be redistributed.

“He was always a high IQ player”

” With Ky on the sidelines, I assumed I was going to get a chance to play. I just want to make the most of it. I just stayed ready and hoped for this opportunity “, displays the scorer who thanks his teammates for the confidence granted, in particular Kevin Durant.

” He’s quiet and doesn’t show much emotion, but he’s always been a high IQ player, observant of the game, great players and history. So he tried to implement some of these things “, says of him” KD “. According to the latter, his young teammate will gain experience by repeating things. ” But he’s a natural talent, so he can get into it after seven or eight games and make a smooth transition. We will need more of him in the future. He can do more. We have high expectations for him. “, Continues Kevin Durant whose teammate finished with an impressive +49 score when he was in play in these two games.

” I just read the game. Coach JV set us up on a two-to-one game, because most of the time when they change on me, I send it to Kev. They’re going to do a two-man take which leaves me and everyone else wide open. So he gotta make the right choice, I gotta make the right choice and then the dominoes fall », Image Cam Thomas, who does not seem ready to return to his bench.
