In the latest Vegas odds on the NBA’s Most Improved Player award, Cam Thomas is fifth, behind the Philadelphia 76ers Tyrese Maxey, the Chicago Bulls Coby White, the Toronto Raptors Scottie Barnes and the Houston Rockets Alperen Sengun.
And Thomas will have play all eight of the Brooklyn Nets final games to get to the 65-game floor the NBA imposed on major awards in the new CBA. (Sengun who was thought to be out for the season with an ankle sprain is still unlikely to qualify, having played in 63 games before going down with an ankle sprain but some have suggested he might come back before the regular season ends.
