25 Point Per Game Scorer Available for Trade


Cam Thomas has shown that last season was no fluke, as the former first-rounder is once again the leading scorer for the Brooklyn Nets this year. Averaging close to 25 points per game, there's word that he should be available for trade, considering the Nets weren't able to sign him to an extension, and he'll be a restricted free agent after the season. 

"Fourth-year gunner Cam Thomas (24.6 points per game) failed to come to terms on an extension and is widely considered to be available," wrote Sam Amick in The Athletic.

Thomas illlustrated his upside as a scorer once again just a few days back, draining a season-high 43 points as the Nets dropped a decision to the crosstown New York Knicks. 

He's also dropped more than 30 points four other times this season, and averages 24.6 points, 3.4 boards and 3.1 assists while draining threes at a 39.2% clip. He averaged 22.5 points last season, more than doubling his points from the previous year. 

It's not often that a nearly 25-point-per-game scorer becomes available for trade, so there could be a line of teams looking to snag the 23-year-old in a trade. He was a late first-round pick (27th overall) in the 2021 NBA Draft.
