Cameron “Cam” Johnson is the starting small forward for the Brooklyn Nets. Standing at 6 feet 8 inches, Johnson is recognized as one of the premier two-way wing players in the NBA. The 6 feet 8 inches forward, originally from Moon Township, Pennsylvania, is known for his three-point shooting and solid perimeter defense. After getting drafted in 2019, Johnson played a key role in the Phoenix Suns’ 2021 run to the NBA Finals and their league-best record in the 2021-22 NBA season. He was a vital rotational player for the Suns, providing instant scoring off the bench before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets as one of the crucial components of the blockbuster trade involving Kevin Durant.
Cam Johnson’s basketball journey began in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, where he first played at Moon Area High School and later at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School. He went on to play college basketball at Pittsburgh (2014–2017) before transferring to North Carolina (2017–2019). As a senior with the Tar Heels in the 2018-19 season, Johnson averaged 16.9 points and 5.8 rebounds. He also shot a jaw-dropping 45.7% from three-point range, which was the key reason why he became a lottery pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, getting selected 11th overall. Despite being considered relatively old for a lottery selection at nearly 23, Johnson has proved his doubters wrong and since then enjoyed a strong NBA career thus far.
