Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has quickly established himself as a dynamic scoring threat during his first three seasons in the NBA, consistently showing his ability to put up points.
However, with the arrival of new head coach Jordi Fernandez, the focus has shifted toward making Thomas a more efficient scorer, reports Peter Botte of The New York Post.
Fernandez’s goal is to refine how Thomas gets his points, encouraging him to make smarter shot selections and play within the team’s system. Thomas seems to have embraced this new direction, as evidenced by his impressive shooting percentages during the preseason.
“I’m just getting to my spots. There’s not really much difference [that] I’m doing,” Thomas explained. “Other than getting out and running more and getting a lot of easier shots, I’m just playing off the ball a little bit and just shooting the catch-and-shoot shots that I’m given.
“Obviously, at some point, I’m going to be able to create, do a lot of the one-on-one game, because sometimes that’s what the game requires. But right now, I’m just trying to play within the offense and just find my spots.”
