Jacque Vaughn praises Cam Thomas ... on defense as well as offense
The subtext — or maybe even the overriding theme — to Cam Thomas 26-point effort was Jacque Vaughn’s praise of his young guard, a contrast to Vaughn’s skeptical view last season, even when he was setting NBA records with three straight 40 point games.
“He’s grown from Year 1 to Year 3, and part of that is knowing how you can affect the game on both ends of the floor, be accountable on both ends of the floor,” Vaughn said of Thomas post-game. “So that was the reason for starting tonight.”
Then, Wednesday, asked again about Thomas, told beat writers that he not only endorsed his aggressive offense, but liked what he saw in other aspects of the 21-year-old’s game.
