Cam Thomas rising in rookie rankings

But in two rookie rankings — and on the court — the 20-year-old keeps rising. Both the CBS Sports Rookie Rankings and Chad Ford’s Big Board put him near or at the top of first year players. And that was before Thomas heroics at the Garden Friday night when he hit the dagger in the franchise’s biggest comeback ever. In his last eight games, Thomas is averaging 21.5 points a game along with 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
