Bucks Acquire Guard Cam Thomas for Fresh Start
9 Feb
Summary
- Cam Thomas signed with the Milwaukee Bucks after being waived by the Nets.
- He averaged 15.2 points per game with the Nets over four and a half seasons.
- This move offers Thomas a chance to revive his career in a new situation.
For the first time in his NBA career, Thomas will not play for the Brooklyn Nets. In Milwaukee, he has the chance to change his career narrative. Three days after being waived by the Brooklyn Nets, Cam Thomas has signed with the Bucks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. After four and a half seasons in Brooklyn, he will play for the second team of his NBA career.
Thomas averaged 15.2 points per game with the Nets, and for the majority of his tenure, he was viewed as a star on a rebuilding team. However, concerns regarding efficiency, playmaking, and defense marred the last year of his career, along with injuries. The Bucks were reportedly interested in Thomas at the trade deadline, but Brooklyn couldn't find the right return after shopping him.
Milwaukee will be a fresh start, as Thomas will compete for minutes in a relatively crowded guard room. He will also have the opportunity to play with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. This move will give Thomas a chance to contribute in a better situation than the Nets' rebuilding efforts. If Thomas can improve upon his weaknesses, he will have a long career in the league.
