The Milwaukee Bucks are on the hunt to add another scorer to the Antetokounmpo-Lillard duo. The Bucks are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference after winning seven games and losing nine this season. Out of their last six games, Milwaukee has won four and lost two, with their sluggish offense being pinned as the culprit for their murky performance this season.
It is no wonder that Milwaukee is eyeing an addition to their offense, basically circling in on Cam Thomas from the Brooklyn Nets as per a report by Sam Amick of The Athletic. Thomas has not accepted a contract extension from the Nets and will be a free agent during the offseason. Other than the Bucks, there are four other teams observing Thomas right now.
Cam Thomas is having a splendid season so far, with a 24.6 point average, with 3.4 rebounds per game, and 3.1 helpers in every matchup. In his most recent game, Thomas managed to score 18 points in total against the Philadelphia 76ers, along with a trio of rebounds and seven helpers. Before that, Thomas put up 16 points against the New York Knicks in the team’s losing effort.
While Milwaukee is certainly on the lookout to grab Cam Thomas before it’s too late, they still have to maneuver around some financial issues. Still, if they do manage to get Thomas in the team, the Bucks will have a much better record in the coming NBA season.
