Cole Anthony and Cam Thomas have essentially had the exact same arc with the Milwaukee Bucks this season. Both arrived as hyped up additions who could help the team as second-unit sparkplugs, had red-hot starts that had fans dreaming big, and then ultimately fell out of the rotation entirely in favor of other players. Two swings, two misses in the bigger picture.
Anthony, Thomas kicked off their tenures with a bang
During his first four games with the franchise, Anthony averaged 13 points and 5.8 assists, including scoring performances of 23 and 16 points. In an interview with Sport24, Giannis Antetokounmpo said that Anthony could be an X-factor for Milwaukee, and it was hard to argue after this.
