Thomas and Sharpe ready for Brooklyn
Nets' top draft choices eager to contribute to title quest
Cameron Thomas and Day’Ron Sharpe, the Brooklyn Nets’ first-round picks in last Thursday’s NBA Draft at Downtown’s Barclays Center, know that their new franchise already boasts a Big Three with championship expectations.
But that doesn’t mean the teen duo, neither of whom will turn 20 until next season, won’t be chomping at the bit for playing time alongside Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden in 2021-22.
“I’m here to bring a great attitude, being a great teammate, scoring power, just an all-around player,” said Thomas during his introductory press conference at the Nets’ HSS Training Center in Sunset Park Monday.
