Can Cam Thomas Be a True NBA Star?

There are special players who need an unconventional process to develop and explore their limits. This is the case of Cam Thomas, a man who landed in the NBA with low expectations due to his defensive negligence but has been building himself up to reach a stellar level with the Brooklyn Nets. His special connection with Jordi Fernández may lead him to unimaginable success.

Every basketball fan sits in front of the TV to watch a game or buys a ticket to go to a stadium, aiming to see something different, unique, genuine, a talent beyond the ordinary capable of doing unexpected things. Cam Thomas passed unnoticed in the competition in his first two years, but his evolution has amazed both fans and skeptics. This 23-year-old man born in Japan already showed his offensive skills last season, but he is going even further this season.

A low demanding competitive environment like Brooklyn Nets favors the development of a player profile like Cam Thomas. What no one expected is that he would take on so much responsibility and work hard not to be pigeonholed as just a destabilizing scorer from the bench or a one-dimensional offensive player for a lesser team. Jordi Fernández has opened the eyes of a man playing with overflowing confidence and seeing himself as capable of much more.

Averaging 24.8 points per game in the NBA, with shooting percentages of 45.8% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range, is no small feat, as is his commitment to the team and ability to respond to the demands of the Spanish coach. "What I like most about Cam is that he is increasingly making more assists and committing fewer turnovers. He is putting great pressure on opponents in defense and playing for his teammates," said Jordi Fernández after Cam Thomas punished the Kings with 34 points and 6 assists. It's not unrealistic to think of him as a potential All Star.
