Cam Thomas on MIP conversation: 'Obviously, I think my name should be in the conversation'
“Obviously for the season I had, with what I’ve gone through my first two years until now, just playing sporadically, now getting a full time role a little bit in my third year. Having a jump like this, I feel like that just can’t go unnoticed especially playing on the Nets, it can’t go unnoticed for me. “Obviously, I think my name should be in the conversation but I’ll go as far as my team and that’s all that matters.”

“I feel like my name should definitely be in the [Most Improved Player] conversation but what ever happens happens. I’m just worried about getting wins. because we have bigger goals like getting to the playoffs, the play-in. So I feel that’s more important than that,” Thomas told Chris Haynes in a Bleacher Report interview Monday afternoon, a day after he had perhaps his most complete game as a Nets, scoring 29 points while grabbing seven boards and handing out five assets, all in 31 minutes. -via NetsDaily / March 11, 2024
Sharif Phillips-Keaton: At the final buzzer, the Nets beat the Cavaliers 120-101. Cam Thomas had 29 points and Mikal Bridges had 25 points. After a first half that looked like a standstill, the Nets turned things up on both ends of the floor in the third quarter. Bridges and Thomas are a formidable duo. -via Twitter / March 10, 2024
