Could a ROLE PLAYER average 25 ppg?

#shorts reacting to Cam Thomas' quote about whether or not he could average 25 points per game in the NBA.

🏀🏈⚾ Talk sports with me:

Devonte graham a perfect example of this, he was on the hornets averaging 20+ for a year, goes to a team where he isn’t the number one option and now he is just a below average pg

[jakebishop]

The problem is they would drop 25 a night on 48 percent true shooting, on the league's worst offense.

[fcld]

Jordan Poole is a great example of this. Of the bench this season he averaged about 20 ppg but when Steph was injured and Poole was starting he averaged about 30 ppg.

I agree with this the most average player can average 25 Cam is a bucket getter hope he has a good year also Andrew where I figure out what happens in the nba other then games when it’s one

[GametimeSportsAndLifts]

he's averaging like 30 this statement aged like fine wine

[AstroSully]

It’s about how impactful to winning is when the ball is on their hands.

[JesusisKingfrrrrr]

NBA gotta test this theory where every teams last man off the bench is their go to guy and see what their numbers are like for a season 💀😂

[latrelldub]

if ur in the NBA, that makes you a professional scorer and better at almost every aspect of basketball compared to non-NBA players. Brian Scalebrine proved that he can dominate anybody who's not in the league, I bet with the right opportunity even he can drop 25/game

Cam could probably do it on decent to good efficiency most players could not there is a big difference. His problem is not being able to pass or defend if he figures those out he might be that guy but that’s probably 2-4 years away if it ever comes he’s only 21. More realistic expectation is that he’s an elite 6th man long term

[GoatJR]

Andrew please keep up the constant posting it’s amazing

[vivaanagrawal]

If people like Payton Pritchard score 92 in a game, then they can score 25 in an NBA game. Even if they’re “bad” NBA players, they might be capable of dropping 50 in 48 minutes. Feel like some fans need to realize this…

[pohorex]

Efficiency will go down but they can absolutely do it

[YouelHagos]

Cam Thomas dropped back-to-back-to-back 40 point games. 😅😮

[LaughingJokerProd]

The main issue as always is that there's only one ball. Only one person can score and the four need to either help or make it so the other four/five dont hinder

[JG_]

A lot of what makes a good scorer in the NBA is just opportunity. They're all incredibly talented shot makers. Some are just more efficient, and there for get more opportunities to score.

[FLG]

Cam is definitely right but the lack of defense coming from him is gonna be worse

[clownfishman]

Video idea: Who are the top ten players of all time bc if you disregard the playoffs

[rbaki]

That doesn’t mean they’re necessarily helping their team though

[caponebd]

The big difference maker is efficiency. Plenty of guys can score more, but most of them can’t make those extra shots good shots. Cam is a great shooter, but I’m giving Bridges the green light on that team every day. He’s a three level scorer that can get to his spots whenever he wants.
