Thomas is coming off a career-best year during which he finished as the 130th-ranked player in nine-category leagues. In 31.4 minutes per night, he averaged a healthy 22.5 points per game, adding 3.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.2 three-pointers. Heading into the 2024-25 season, the Nets are likely to struggle when it comes to victories. After parting ways with Mikal Bridges during the offseason, Thomas is left as the clear No. 1 option on offense. Should the coaching staff opt to fully unleash him, there is no knowing just how many shots Thomas will fire up on a nightly basis. If he can push to 20 shot attempts, it is not unreasonable to think he could average upwards of 25.0 points per contest. The lack of peripheral numbers continues to be a stumbling block when evaluating his overall upside. However, he was able to increase his assist production last season. If he manages to do that again, Thomas would be more appealing. While there is cause for hesitation, Thomas makes sense as a viable flier target in the seventh or eighth round. Read Past Outlooks

Thomas (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS Thomas was a late addition the injury report, though he was originally deemed probable before being downgraded to questionable and eventually to out. With the 23-year-old guard sidelined for the first time this season, the club will likely take an extended look at Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson and Keon Johnson. Thomas' next chance to feature will come Friday against the 76ers.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
On the whole, it was another underwhelming season for Thomas, ending as the 351st-ranked player in nine-category leagues. In 16.6 minutes per night, he averaged 10.6 points, adding very little else. Herein lies the problem with Thomas. He has proven himself to be a competent scorer, delivering multiple 40-point games last season. The issue is that he offers basically nothing else when he is on the floor. This was highlighted by the fact that he was not even a part of the regular rotation to close last season, despite the team having parted ways with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Thomas should be in the discussion for playing time again this season but will be battling the likes of Ben Simmons, Spencer Dinwiddie, Mikal Bridges and Dennis Smith for playing time. He is not worth drafting outside of deeper formats but is someone to monitor closely should he be able to diversify his game to the point where he forces the coaching staff to give him minutes.
It's all about opportunity for Thomas, who, despite a few flashes during his rookie season, finished well outside the top 300 per game in eight-category roto leagues. When handed a significant role, Thomas flaunted his offensive ability, scoring at least 20 points in six of eight games during a stretch in February. He ended his first season in the league with averages of 8.5 points and 2.4 rebounds. Based on what we have seen, Thomas would need Kevin Durant and/or Kyrie Irving to be traded to have a shot at consistent fantasy value. While this could certainly happen at some point in the near future, as of right now, he is not on the radar for anyone preparing for an early fantasy draft.
Thomas was selected by the Nets with the 27th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Thomas was a high-volume scorer for LSU as a freshman, averaging 23.0 points per game in addition to 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He's expected to be a pure scorer at the NBA level, as he doesn't excel anywhere else. Notably, he was named co-MVP of the 2021 Summer League. He averaged 27.0 points on 42/36/85 shooting splits. While he recorded nearly twice as many turnovers (3.8) as assists (2.0), he made up for it with his scoring. With the Nets this season, Thomas figures to compete with Patty Mills and Jevon Carter for reserve minutes in the backcourt.

ANALYSIS Brooklyn's leading scorer this season failed to come to terms on a contract extension this past summer, and the team likely won't have any qualms about moving him to further its rebuild. Thomas missed Tuesday's game due to a back issue, but unless the injury proves to be serious it shouldn't impact his market value for contenders looking to add some offense.
