In the early surprise of draft night, UNC forward Cameron Johnson became the second Tar Heel selected in the lottery when the Minnesota Timberwolves chose him with the No. 11 overall pick on Thursday. He will play for the Phoenix Suns as part of a proposed trade agreement. The first-team All-ACC standout was Roy Williams’ most efficient offensive weapon.
