Nets’ Cam Thomas joins Gil’s Arena to discuss next season

“Really just focusing on just get my body right, conditioning aspect, but I mean obviously off-court stuff is there. You know, we all hoop, but we just gonna keep working on everything. Really just getting my body right and just being more in better shape, better condition.”

“Had to be, had to be. Because we was transitioning from the super team (with Durant and Irving) to getting those guys out of there because that was when Ky (Irving) got traded then K (Durant) got traded like two days after so it was like, we was starting to transition a little bit. So, I was like (expletive) I mean they gotta play me now, you know? K ain’t playing, Ky ain’t playing.”

“Everything really. My rookie year, K told me (to) always get closer to the hoop because sometimes when you first come in, you take long twos and then, he told me just try to get in the painted area to get to your middies (mid-range jumpshots) because it’s always there, honestly. So, he was like, start from inside-out because kids now, they try to go three ball, then to the hoop, you know? Because K got like an old school game as far as like inside-out, middies, pull-ups and then, he’ll go out to three. you know, K don’t shoot a lot of threes like everybody doing in today’s game. So, I mean, that’s really the main thing.

And Ky’s just Ky, man. Left hand, right hand, and he got literally everything. So, it was like I learned so much from them and you know, they really helped me in my career so far.”
