I just hope a few years from now we look back and laugh because Cam Johnson is a stud

*fingers crossed*

Looks like Kyle Korver 2.0, role player who is valuable for a single skill.

[Split T]

Ya I think Cam will be a fine player. Just gonna be upset if Brandon Clarke is a stud

The Ringer's draft profile:

Effective shooter who presents value for teams in need of a tall, floor-spacing role player.

SHADES OF: Nemanja Bjelica, Jonas Jerebko, Dorian Finney-Smith [Shabazz's note: EL-OH-EL]
PLUSES
Good spot-up shooter with a compact form and good footwork. He has the body control to balance himself midair to hit shots off movement.
Uses screens and relocates at an NBA level. If he masters his off-screen shooting, he could become a tough cover due to his size.
Runs the floor hard in transition. He’s a leak-out threat who will benefit from NBA pace.
Average passer who won’t be tasked with playmaking responsibilities, but he tends to make the right play within the flow of the offense.
Selfless player who accepts his role next to more ball-dominant players. He’s happy playing a role, cutting and spotting up.
Projects as a solid positional defender who resists fouling while sliding and has solid off-ball awareness.
MINUSES
Underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left hip in 2018 to correct a bone impingement and a torn labrum. He gets banged up often during games, too.
Unable to create much off the dribble. Average athlete with a slow first step; he takes short, choppy steps on drives. His shot also isn’t quite as accurate off the dribble.
Subpar at-rim finisher against length, and he rarely draws fouls. Despite his height, he’s also not a post threat.
Improved perimeter defender following his hip procedure but he’s still stiff moving laterally, and struggles to contain scorers who change directions quickly.
Lacks ideal strength to be an effective defender on switches against larger players. He’s also not a great rebounder for his size.

my heart. it was ripped out and then thrown on the ground and trampled upon.

I guess defense in the front court doesn't matter.

I guess when you've had a hard-on for Cam for 5 yrs and felt left at the alter it was destiny.

I guess they aren't looking for helping Ayton in the front court.

I guess being the worst defensive team in the league means nothing.

I guess a guy that only shoots, nothing else, with bad hips, health issues and older than James Jones means more.

I guess contributing to winning in every way and being the 2nd best efficient player in the last 10 yrs means squat.

Also, being a local kid with crazy functional athleticism and a super high defensive bballiq means nothing.

Bazley goes 23 to OKC

Heh. That reminds of when I was a kid and I asked my parents where I came from. They too responded with a description that seemed anatomically improbable and I reacted just like you did.

[carey]

I just don't have a handle on what we're doing tonight. Like some kind of plan must be in place but I don't get it.

[Indy]

I know nothing about him. 538 had him as the 19th
