Cam Thomas, the Brooklyn Nets guard, is evolving as a playmaker under coach Jordi Fernandez, averaging a career-best 3.4 assists. Despite hamstring injuries limiting his court time, he showed promise with multiple games of at least six assists this season. Fernandez praises Thomas as a weapon, highlighting the need for improvement to match the assist levels of All-Star guards. Thomas attributes his assist success to teammates making shots and showcased effective decision-making recently, emphasizing his dual role as a scorer and facilitator.
"CT is a weapon. Everybody has to pay attention," Fernandez said. His evolution as a playmaker contrasts with scoring guards like Gilgeous-Alexander, Lillard, and Brunson.
"I've been [finding my teammates]. They're just making it. If I pass it to them, they have to make it, and they're making it." This highlights Thomas' growth as a distributor.
"What I really liked about his game tonight was the six assists to one turnover," Fernandez said, indicating Thomas' improving decision-making and playmaking ability.
