Shaq Talking about Cam Thomas

[@jrsmith5080]

If you saw Thomas play at LSU then you'd know he's a legit player. He was always gonna be deep in the bench cuz the focus was on KD, Kyrie, and Harden. Now that Harden and Kyrie are gone, Cam gonna be that guy when KD ain't out there

[@GullyFella]

big facts. if u know u been knew. 🫡

[@AMGTT]

He is basically another maxey and if he don’t start being a playmaker he will be back on the bench just a 6 man as a spark. Maxey has this issue because he don’t make plays one trick poney. So I hope Cam can hover around 5-6 assist then he be more complete

Cam averaged 23 PPG as a Freshman. I think he finished 3rd or 4th in overall points. It was no secret that he could score.

The difference with LInsanity and Cam right now, is that during Linsanity they were winning the games! During this time when Cam went off, they lost 2 of 3 games. Lin is more of a team player and got his teammates involved in the offense. Cam is def. more gifted offensively than LIn and has star potential, but he needs to be a better team player and look for his other players to score.
