Summary:
Cam Thomas is an agile, skilled combo guard that can score the basketball in a variety of ways. He excels at taking the ball to the rim to score, and he also can comfortably make mid-range jumpers. However, he will need to improve his outside shot from beyond the arc, and he will need to show that he can effectively run the point at higher levels. Right now, he currently projects to go in the first round of the 2021 draft.
