The Brooklyn Nets are one of the most intriguing teams entering the upcoming season.
They’re obviously not on the top tier when it comes to championship contenders anymore, and it might take a while before they get back there — if ever.
Still, Joe Tsai’s regime managed to find some young talent to build his new team around.
Cam Thomas could be poised to become the league’s next star, and he’s turning 22 years old today.
That’s why the fans took to Twitter to wish the bucket-getter a happy birthday and hope he breaks out this season.
Have a blast

Thomas’ scoring talents have always been remarkable, and he has the utmost confidence in his game.
He called out Steve Nash for trying to use him as a point guard and not playing him enough, and he’s shown glimpses of impressive offensive play when given a longer leash.
Mikal Bridges will obviously be the focus point of Jacque Vaughn’s offense, but Thomas could emerge as the 1B to his 1A.
In fact, as good as Bridges is as a defender, and as much as he’s improved his offensive game now that he’s more aggressive, Thomas is the most gifted offensive player on the team.
Thomas got to learn from one of the best in Kevin Durant, and the reports state that they went pretty hard at each other during scrimmages.
Now, he might have the chance to take as many shots as he can handle.
