Cam Thomas is a bucket. He just needed Kyrie Irving's exit to show his stuff.
The second-year Nets guard has seen extended run in Brooklyn's lineup since Irving's trade request on Friday. He dropped 44 points in a win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday with Irving out of the lineup. On Monday, just hours after Irving's trade to the Dallas Mavericks was made official, he one-upped himself with a 47-point effort against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Unfortunately for the Nets, they lost Monday's game, 124-116.
