Brooklyn Nets' Cam Thomas has joined an illustrious, er… notable group of former first-round draft picks who have signed their qualifying offers as restricted free agents since 2017.
Thomas is now the sixth former first-rounder to sign his qualifying offer, joining Alex Len in 2017, Nerlens Noel in 2017, Rodney Hood in 2018, Denzel Valentine in 2020, and Miles Bridges in 2020. Of the five, Bridges is the only player to sign a deal worth more than $6 million annually.
Signing a qualifying offer hasn't turned out well in the past
Len signed a two-year pact, worth $8.
