Following Kyrie Irving’s request for a trade just over a week ago, former LSU standout Cam Thomas took full advantage of the star’s absence, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to score over 40 points in three consecutive games.

He became one of the biggest NBA talking points this week and appears to be one of the centerpieces of the next era of Brooklyn Nets basketball.

In this article, I’ll discuss those players, their roles and impacts on both LSU and their current team and their best traits and improvements so far.
