The Milwaukee Bucks have decided to waive Cam Thomas, just weeks after officially signing him. This development was announced by the team on Monday. Thomas had joined the Bucks on February 8, shortly after his release from the Brooklyn Nets.
Cam Thomas’s Performance with the Bucks
During his time with the Bucks, Thomas participated in 18 games. He recorded an average of 10.7 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, while boasting a shooting percentage of 43.1%. His early performance was impressive, featuring scoring games of 34 and 27 points within his first four outings.
Comparisons and Expectations
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers even likened Thomas to notable Sixth Man of the Year winners Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford after just two games. However, his consistency waned as the season progressed. Thomas managed to score in double digits in only five of his last 14 games with the team.
Insights into Thomas’s Career
At 24 years old, Thomas now faces the challenge of finding a new team, marking the potential start of his third stint in five years in the NBA. Following Thomas’s release, the Bucks have made a corresponding move by converting Pete Nance into a multi-year standard contract.
