No one pays attention? He is only 23 years old, a scorer who is averaging 24+3+3 per game, only 25 million yuan in salary!

For teams who are determined to strengthen, the upcoming NBA draft will give them the opportunity to reach new players, and at the same time, the free time will be open again. Therefore, this summer is destined to be an extraordinary moment as usual. Recently, many teams have also started some negotiations and signing. Of course, in addition to the team's inquiry, some players have also recommended themselves, hoping to get signing, such as our protagonist today - Cameron Thomas. He expressed his intention in the interview, that is, to stay with the Nets.

This season, this 23-year-old young player became the team's number one scorer, averaged 24 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Although the overall shooting percentage is not too high, after all, on the offensive end, he faces the most stringent defense. Considering that he is not old, he can understand it. However, although he has publicly expressed his desire to stay with the Nets, it seems that he is not entirely able to ensure that he continues his career in Brooklyn. For other teams, they can also consider this young scorer, after all, his salary requirements are not too high. Let’s take a look at his specific abilities and characteristics and speculate on his prospects!

1. The scoring firepower is amazing, comparable to that of the top scorers.

First of all, Thomas' most commendable is his amazing scoring ability. Although when he participated in the NBA draft that year, his draft pick was only 27th in the first round, this does not mean that he is a mediocre person. In the past four seasons, his annual progress has been visible to the naked eye, especially in the 23-24 season. Due to the successive departure of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, he became the team's number one attacker, and the average game data also rose directly to 22.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists, with shooting and three-point shooting percentages of 44.2% and 36.4% respectively, both in terms of output and efficiency. If he hadn't been injured this season, he would have been likely to further improve his data. Moreover, not only the data, but his role on the court is also very obvious. In today's era of three-point shooting, his playing style is very retro. In addition to three-point shooting, his best position is mid-range jump shots. Although in the eyes of the outside world, central shots have become the most worthwhile scoring method, often need to rely on central shots to solve the problem at critical moments. Therefore, in addition to getting a strong scorer, the introduction of Thomas can also greatly enrich the team's tactics and make a fuss at mid-range, which is very important for many teams.

2. The role adaptability is high, and can be considered by all teams.

In addition, in addition to the sustainability of his score, his explosiveness in scoring is also quite amazing. Since entering the NBA, he has scored more than 40+ in 9 times, including a 40+ game in the second grade in 3 consecutive games. It can be said that Thomas is no less than the best scorer today in terms of scoring. Therefore, if the Nets don't want to keep Thomas, he can also play for other teams. For some weak teams who lack offensive ability, Thomas is undoubtedly the best choice. On the one hand, it can help the team play badly, and on the other hand, after Thomas plays out value, he can also send him away in time in exchange for better resources. For some playoff-level teams, Thomas is also worth buying. His style is very suitable for training as a sixth man, especially when he is not good at defense. He is able to create a defensive system in the second team to serve him so as to maximize the value of his scoring. In the past, Jamal Crawford, Jason Terry and others were very similar to Thomas' style.

3. The salary will not be too high and it is expected to be cost-effective.

Finally, let’s talk about one of Thomas’s advantages, that is, his contract amount will not be too high. In the eyes of most experts, Thomas's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, which basically determines that it is difficult for him to become a star player and also difficult to get a big contract. After all, the defensive end is a colander, and the offensive end is only focused on scoring and lacks sufficient passing vision. It is indeed difficult for such a player to regard him as the core. Therefore, his contract is likely to be around 100 million US dollars in four years. His salary space has been greatly expanded. For most teams, the average salary is about 25 million US dollars, which they can afford. Moreover, for Thomas himself, with an annual salary of $25 million, his level of performance is not too much surprise and he can be cost-effective. So even though his defense and organization are really bad, he deserves this salary in terms of his personal scoring ability. Judging from his progress and age, he is likely to perform more than 25 million in the future, which is a win-win situation for himself and the team.
