Yahoo Sports has the Brooklyn Nets guard dead last.
Yahoo Sports defines a team's "number one" option as the player who teammates look for down the stretch and opponents specifically game plan against. Thomas is ranked below Kyle Kuzma from the Washington Wizards, Jalen Green from the Houston Rockets and Anfernee Simons from the Portland Trail Blazers.
Thomas, on the other hand, was 39th in regular season “clutch” field goal attempts. He went 13-for-47 from the field and a lowly 3-for-23 from three . That can perhaps be considered indicative of future struggles as a “number one” option, but it cannot be conclusive since the Nets’ context will be vastly different this season.
One of new head coach Jordi Fernández’s first tasks will be to determine who the Nets’ head honcho on the court is, although signs seem to point towards the Spaniard favoring an equitable system of play. It’s also possible that— fresh off signing a 4-year, $100 million contract with Brooklyn this summer — will get a chance to be the “number one” in a way that hasn’t existed for him since college.
Thomas is the most comfortable and toughest shotmaker on the team, which will likely always be the case for as long as he’s a Net player, but his innate scoring ability needs to be harnessed in the right direction long term.Wilko is a journalist and producer from Madrid, Spain.
