Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas may be destined to lead the Nets starting five, but in the short-term Jacque Vaughn and the Nets need to maximize two of their top talents, and the team overall. In facing the dilemma of splitting up non-shooters Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton, the Nets may actually stumble into a solution to both problems.

Adam looks at how the emergence of Cam Thomas, which is overwhelming positive, could also be mitigating Mikal Bridges role. Inside the 2022-23 minutes, combined with offseason additions like Dennis Smith Jr. and Lonnie Walker - could be the solution to creating one of the more consistent top to bottom rosters in the league.
