Suns' shooting star Cam Johnson channeling his inner Klay Thompson

Posted Jan 28, 2022
Former Tar Heel sharpshooter Cameron Johnson was considered a risky lottery pick for the Phoenix Suns in the 2019 draft, but he’s having a career year in his third NBA season out of North Carolina. Averaging 11.8 points this season, the 6-8, 210-pound Johnson is bigger and stronger, shown more versatile on offense and is an improving defender. (USA Today)
