Cam Thomas

Coming off a solid 2023-24 season, Thomas was expected to be the No. 1 option on offense after Mikal Bridges was traded to the Knicks during the offseason. Thomas showed off his scoring chops early in the 2024-25 season, scoring 30-plus points in six of his first 17 games while averaging 24.7 points on 46.1 percent shooting and 38.9 percent from three. However, the prolific scoring guard was bothered by a left hamstring strain in late November, which impacted his shooting efficiency for the rest of the season and forced him to miss 56 of the Nets' final 64 games. It's also worth noting, despite his hamstring issues and shoot-first mentality, that Thomas averaged a career-high 3.8 assists per game, which should make him more appealing to fantasy managers. A full offseason should be enough for him to enter training camp with a clean bill of health, and even with the addition of Michael Porter, Thomas should still get the lion's share of usage on offense. With that said, Thomas had to settle for a one-year, $6 million qualifying offer from the Nets this offseason and will have a full no-trade clause until he hits unrestricted free agency next offseason. He'll have immense pressure to produce a big season and get paid in the summer. On the flip side, the Nets won't be incentivized to play him heavy minutes and let him run the offense since he's operating on a small deal, can't be traded and likely won't be returning to Brooklyn in 2026-27. Thomas is a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks
