Cameron Bouchea Thomas (born October 13, 2001) is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was a consensus five-star recruit and one of the best shooting guards in the 2020 class. He is the youngest player in NBA history to score 40+ points in three straight games. He played college basketball for the LSU Tigers.

Early life

Thomas was born in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan while his mother was living there. When he was seven, he won a contest by making 33 free throws in a row.[1]

As a freshman, Thomas began playing basketball for Oscar F. Smith High School in Chesapeake, Virginia.[2] He did not play in his sophomore season because he and his mother "weren't on the same page" as the team's coaching staff.[3] For his junior season, he transferred to Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, where he joined Cole Anthony and Kofi Cockburn in one of the most touted teams in the country.[4] Thomas averaged a team-high 26.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, leading his team to a 31–5 record.[5][6] In July 2019, he was named Offensive Player of the Year at the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League after averaging a league-best 29.5 points per game for Boo Williams.[7] As a senior at Oak Hill, Thomas averaged 31.5 points, six rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, leaving as the program's all-time leading scorer.[8] Thomas posted 30-plus points in nine games, including two 40-point performances.[9] He led his team to the Tournament of Champions title, where he was named most valuable player.[10] Thomas was selected to play in the Jordan Brand Classic.[11]

Recruiting

On November 18, 2019, Thomas committed to play college basketball at Louisiana State University (LSU). He chose the Tigers over an offer from UCLA, among others, after taking official visits to both schools.[9]

With this game, Thomas became the youngest player in NBA history to score at least 40 points in three consecutive games.[25] On February 10, 2023, he was fined $40,000 by the NBA for saying "no homo", which was perceived as anti-gay, during a post-game interview following a game the night before against the Chicago Bulls.[26]

On October 25, 2023, Thomas put up 36 points off the bench in a 114–113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. His 36 points were the most off the bench in a season-opener in NBA history.[27] On November 6, Thomas scored a season-high 45 points during a 129–125 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.[28] On December 16, Thomas put up 41 points in a 124–120 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
