DALLAS — There are supporters at every level of the Nets organization that had wanted to see Cam Thomas get more minutes over his first two seasons.

The gifted young guard may not be giving Brooklyn coach Jacque Vaughn a choice in his third.

Thomas followed up a solid summer with a strong training camp and an even better regular-season opener. He poured in 36 points in Brooklyn’s gut-wrenching 114-113 loss to Cleveland, the highest-scoring output on either of the NBA’s first two nights.

Going into Friday’s tilt in Dallas, the only players who had tallied more points this season were former teammate/mentor Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard. Of course, the 22-year-old has always been gifted when it comes to scoring on people.
