Cam Thomas has spoken publicly after a sudden change in his NBA situation.
The guard found himself searching for a new team following his exit from the Brooklyn Nets at the trade deadline.
Several options were available as he weighed his next move, but Milwaukee emerged as the destination that made the most sense.
Thomas has now reflected on how the decision came together and what stood out about the opportunity.
Cam Thomas explains why he chose to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks
Thomas said the decision to join Milwaukee was driven by an interest that had been there for some time.
He explained that the Bucks made it clear they wanted him, which played a major role in his choice.
“I picked Milwaukee because they wanted me, and they told me they’ve been interested for years now,” Thomas said. “So, it’s good to have this opportunity come to fruition.”
Thomas added that his focus is on settling in quickly and helping the team.
“I’m just hoping to meet everybody, get to know everybody, and contribute as soon as possible,” he added.
Milwaukee Bucks add more talent around Giannis Antetokounmpo
Milwaukee’s move for Thomas comes after the Bucks kept Giannis Antetokounmpo at the trade deadline.
The organization has continued to focus on surrounding their superstar with additional scoring and depth.
With expectations high, the Bucks face pressure to make a meaningful postseason run.
Adding Thomas gives Milwaukee another offensive option, particularly in stretches where extra scoring is needed.
Thomas has shown he can score in volume, and he could realistically provide around 15 to 20 points per game in the right role.
