Cam Thomas' stint with the Milwaukee Bucks has delivered a reality check for everyone. He quickly cooled after a scintillating start, and before Thursday's blowout loss to Utah, he had played three minutes total in as many games.
Thomas returned to the court against the Jazz, scoring 14 points in 23 minutes, but Bucks TV commentator Marques Johnson, a former player himself, offered up a tidbit that reflects the bigger picture for the young guard's career.
Simply put, Thomas must become a passer on nights when his own shot goes cold. He needs to do more than just try to score.
