Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas wants to be paid like a starting-caliber shooting guard during the first free agency of his career. Thus far, the Nets and the NBA’s other 29 teams have been unwilling to pony up that kind of money. The Athletic recently released their shooting guard rankings, and Thomas’ place on the list is a far cry from the NBA’s top players at the position. Zach Harper ranked Thomas at No. 33 on the list, in the same tier as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Grayson Allen, Kevin Huerter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Brandin Podziemski, Marcus Smart and others.
