Young talent Cam Thomas shines in the midst of the Kyrie Irving drama storm, Brooklyn Nets fans are secretly happy

Maybe Cam Thomas was just waiting for Kyrie Irving to leave for a chance to show himself. Even before the last three days, perhaps many neutral NBA fans were still unfamiliar with this name.

Since Kyrie asked to leave, Cam Thomas in the NBA has exploded in two consecutive games. The sophomore scored 44 points in the Washington Wizards basket this past Sunday.

Unfortunately for Thomas and the Brooklyn Nets when they lost 124-116 due to a collapse in the last half, but the player born in 2001 still occupied the "spotlight" regardless of the match result.

Kyrie Irving's departure will naturally leave a big hole in the defender position and scoring stage. Plus Kevin Durant is sidelined due to injury, Brooklyn Nets even more headache.

But appearing unexpectedly, Cam Thomas exploded at the time the team needed him most. Today he threw in 5 3-pointers and hit the 22-point mark in the first two innings, then went straight to a 47-point career-high with 7-11 3PT and 15-29 FG.

Regarding Cam Thomas's performance, he not only threw 3 good points (with 7-11 3PT today) but also finished close to the basket with a high success rate. Interspersed is the ability to throw averagely at a good level.

Thomas's lightness somewhat surprised and confused the LA Clippers team. However, with class and experience, Paul George and his teammates still got the final victory.

Cam Thomas was selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 27th turn in the 2021 NBA Draft from LSU. He averaged 8.5 points in 17.6 minutes per game during the rookie season.

This year, Cam scored an average of 8.4 points per game but with less playing time, only 14.5 minutes per game. Long throw is one of Thomas's standout aspects, achieving a 40% 3PT success rate on low-intensity shots.

Particularly in the last two days when suddenly hot hands, the player born in 2001 has a total of 11-16 3PT, reaching 68%. Of course, this number will gradually decrease over time, but it shows that Cam Thomas can become a star if developed in the right direction.

In the short term, Cam Thomas will be one of the main options in the attack of the Brooklyn Nets until Kevin Durant returns from injury.

In the midst of the team's many dramas surrounding Kyrie Irving's request to leave, Thomas is a positive sign that Brooklyn fans need to see.
