As a rookie in the 2021 class, Little Train s rookie contract will expire this summer

According to the Nets' self-media Nets Daily, sources revealed that Cam Thomas is likely to request a four-year, $100 million contract.

As a rookie in the 2021 class, Little Train's rookie contract will expire this summer. He will become a restricted free agent after July 1, and renewal has also become a difficult problem facing the Nets.

After the Nets sent Bridges away with 8 for 1 last summer, the Nets completely entered reconstruction, and Thomas Jr. naturally became the team's new star. Unfortunately, his outbreak was interrupted by an injury.

This season, the Train only played 25 games in total. During the average playing time of only 31.6 minutes per game, he handed in 24 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.5 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 43.8% + 34.9%, and a real shooting percentage of 57.5%.

Before the start of this season, the league's salary expert Bobby Marks predicted that the train, which has unlimited fire rights in the new season, can become the scoring champion, at least the player with the most shots in the league.

In the first five games of the season, the outbreak gradually began as predicted. In the first five games, the train averaged 27.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists, with a shooting percentage of 43.4% + 35%, and a real shooting percentage of 58.7%.

It's a pity that the schedule didn't take long, and the train began to suffer injuries, and finally gotten reimbursed in advance due to a hamstring strain, which also interrupted the season that he had hoped to break out.

As an American shooting guard, the outbreak of the train has started since Irving left the team. After Irving left the team, he directly scored 40+ in three consecutive games, and he gradually got more attack rights.

He played a total of 66 games last season, and averaged 31.4 minutes of playing time, handed in 22.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists, with a shooting percentage of 44.2% + 36.4%, and a real shooting percentage of 55.4%.

is different from the typical American defender who brushes the game, the overall efficiency of the train is not low, and the hit rate and real hit rate are both medium and upper-level at the same level, and the stability is also done well.

vs. scoring king, he is more practical to attack the All-Star, but if he wants to complete the transformation to reach the All-Star level, he still needs to continue to upgrade.

First of all, it is physical talent. Thomas, who is only 1.91 meters tall, plays as a scorer 54% of the time and plays as a small forward 38% of the time. No matter where he is placed, he is seriously insufficient in height. This brings about defensive problems.

, followed by his ability to control and pass the ball, and he averaged only 2.9 assists per game last season, but his turnover number was as high as 1.9, and his assist-and-turnover ratio was only 1.5. He has not shown his organizational talent throughout his career. As a goal-holder, he is destined to be unable to become the team's core without organization.

So a player like Thomas is also an alternative. On the one hand, his static dynamic talent, offensive methods, and ability to control and pass in all aspects are average, but on the other hand, he is indeed very good at scoring, and giving him the ball rights can produce gorgeous data.

In the future, his trend will either be a quasi-All-Star scorer or become the sixth person. Unfortunately, he encountered injuries this season and interrupted his progress process. So from the current perspective, his more likely trend is to move towards the sixth person.

So now the Nets are also facing the problem of renewing their contracts. It is almost impossible to become the cornerstone of the Nets with his physical talent. Teams like the Nets that are not up and down are the most embarrassing. The team’s real goal is only big names like letters.

So everyone thinks that if you were the Nets' management, would you spend $100 million to renew his contract?
