For the short time Wade was here, he brought in some sick talent!

Most points scored in a quarter in all of Nets history. Insane

Will never forget when Lester Earl said he wasn’t a good player.

still had a negative plus minus. cam Thomas is terrible at everything except high volume scoring. he doesn't help the team much.

He's Jamal Crawford with a worse attitude, but more power to him. He has no desire to do anything but score.

he really isn't amazing. tari eason was way better. Eason did a lot of great things. cam Thomas scores. he doesn't pass well or rebound or play good defense. he doesnt care about winning. he is selfish.

Never said he is the best player to live. Not saying he has a perfect game.

If you can score like that at the highest level, you are pretty damn good.

well sure making the NBA means you are good. but relatively speaking I am not sure if he is better than a replacement level player. he might be. but he is really awful (relative to other players at his level, not me and you) at so many aspects of the game.

I have been watching his advanced metrics for a while and the level he contributes to winning is pretty debatable. again, his plus minus tonight was negative. that's very typical for him even as he scores like crazy. it may be that he allows his opponents more advantage than he gives his own team.

I would also like to see the relative stats of his teammates when he is on and off the floor. I suspect he scores at the expense of his mates and not in addition to them.

You dismiss a player scoring in the top 5% of the league as if it’s nothing and you claim another player does everything better than him even though Cam’s assist % is double his. That’s either being intentionally dishonest or retarded.

LINK

his VORP is middling, and his box plus/minus is negative.

there is more to basketball than taking a ton of shots that your teammates don't get to take.

cam Thomas is an average player on a bad team. don't let the gaudy scoring fool you. he isn't a very positive net contributor.
