In the 2019 draft, all the focus opportunities are focused on Zion Williamson and Ja Morant. The 13th overall pick Tyler Herro also shined in the playoffs. De'Andre Hunter is the starting wing in the NBA. Darius Garland is He is a guard trained by the Cavaliers, and Rui Hachimura, Cam Reddish and PJ Washington are all the main players the team relies on.
It can be seen from the above that the 2019 draft is a draft filled with talents, and the 11th overall pick Cameron Johnson is a relatively low-key player, but he broke out not too late. This season, he currently averages 14.7 points per game and 40% three-pointers. The rate, excellent offensive and defensive performance jumped into everyone's attention.
Johnson is 6 feet 8 inches tall and has a wingspan of 6 feet 10 inches. As a sophomore, Johnson averaged 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in the NCAA. His field goal percentage exceeded 50% and his three-point field goal percentage also reached 45.7%. He was the top player in the university at that time. Top scorer. The ceiling is identified by scouts as Chandler Parsons and the floor is Justin Jackson. In fact, it is very unfair to evaluate a player like Parsons who only had one season at his peak.
Cameron Johnson mostly served as Kelly Oubre's substitute last season. He averaged 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 22 minutes per game, and had a three-point shooting percentage of 39%. He also once delivered a masterpiece of 19 points and 12 rebounds in a single game. Defeat the Mavericks in front of the sun.
This season, Johnson and Mikal Bridges have joined forces to become the 3D wings that the Suns rely on. They are one of the few Suns with positive defensive efficiency. Johnson's scoring explosiveness is also an important firepower for the Suns' second team. In the first game of the season, he scored 15 points to beat the Mavericks. In the victory over the Kings, he scored 21 points in 21 minutes with 7 of 9 shooting and 3 of 4 three-pointers. Especially after the addition of Chris Paul, Johnson's shooting potential will be further unleashed.
Maybe it's time to redefine Johnson's future, where the floor is Parsons and the ceiling should be a top 3D wing of the Klay Thompson caliber.
