Did the Nets prefer to wait until the first game of the season to decide? In any case, New Yorkers come to exercise their option on the fourth year of the contract Cam Thomasamounting to four million dollars.
The decision comes as the 22-year-old guard signed a spectacular comeback: 36 points (13/21 on shots) in 25 minutes in a narrow defeat against the Cavs. A record for a substitute in the first match of the season.
The 27th choice of the 2021 Draft thus proved once again that he is a real walking firecracker, convinced of being able to average 25 points. This season, Cam Thomas will have to find the right balance between his scoring and the Nets collective, without forgetting to show a minimum of defensive investment to keep playing time.
By his side, Day’Ron Sharpe is also extended by the Brooklyn franchise. The fourth year of the replacement interior contract has been activated. He should receive just under four million dollars for the 2024/25 season.
Author of a much more discreet first outing (4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks), the 29th choice of the 2021 Draft also has a good card to play this season behind Nic Claxton.
