STAR UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: SNIPING FORWARD
Cameron Johnson: sniping forward who knows how to play a role; tailor-made NBA skill = shooting: fast, effortless shot release (automatic from the corner) - Johnson’s form suggests nice, long-term accuracy w/ high volume*; successful when aggressively driving the lane - has gotten better at finishing near the basket, under duress (will put you on a poster if you think it’s sweet); provides great intangibles as a small ball four - gives up some size defensively but competes, works to finish plays on the glass & hustles for 50/50 balls; well-rounded scorer: Cam’s put in work w/ his pull-up Js & attacking between the lines; solid playmaker, though sharpening tools as a ball-handler could unlock even more potential; very important floor spacer, plays well off elite talent; dealt to Nets in blockbuster deal (2023) - Cam’s got a set role, has improved tremendously each year in the NBA: vital at the 3 & 4, large part of Brooklyn’s core
