Cam Thomas

Cam Thomas played 13 minutes in his first game with Milwaukee and scored four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT), grabbed one rebound, and had one assist during Milwaukee's loss to Orlando on Monday.

Thomas was signed by the Bucks on Sunday after he was waived by Brooklyn just after the trade deadline. Milwaukee, as a team, was held to just 99 points on Monday, so Thomas was not alone in struggling to score. He averaged 15.6 points in 24 games with the Nets this season so don't give up on him yet. But, he primarily is just a scorer - his secondary stats provide minimal help for fantasy owners.

Fantasy Impact

Thomas has been hampered by injuries over the past two seasons, but has proved that he can be a prolific scorer in the NBA. However, concerns surrounding his defense and his playmaking have limited his opportunities. Thomas has played parts of five seasons - all with the Nets - and is averaging 15.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 239 career games. He averaged 22.5 points per game in 66 appearances in 2023-24 and then averaged 24.0 points in just 25 games last year. This year, he is scoring at a 15.6 point per game clip, despite averaging only 24 minutes a game. He will likely come off the bench in Milwaukee, but should give the Bucks a scoring weapon on their second unit.

The Brooklyn Nets waived Cam Thomas on Thursday.
