The Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Cam Thomas has consistently showcased an exceptional offensive game.

Recently, he has also made significant contributions on the defensive end, allowing his offensive skills to shine even more. As a result, the third-year guard has earned a spot in the playing rotation.

The remaining choice for Brooklyn coach Jacque Vaughn is deciding whether to substitute a current starter when Nic Claxton and Cam Johnson, who are starters, make their return.

“He’s been rewarded for being locked-in, engaged. Being a great teammate on both sides of the basketball,” Vaughn said. “If you look back at the history with Cam [Thomas] and I, I’ve always had extreme confidence in him, and that’s continuing to grow.

“He is going to score the basketball and he has the ability to get to the rim. He has the ability to engage the defense and spray that thing also. He’s just grown as an individual. I’m glad I’m coaching him. We will continue to grow together.”
