Cam Johnson is the team leader on and off the court this season for the Brooklyn Nets. Everyone says it. It’s not really debatable. D’Angelo Russell may be a week older and may have been an all-star six years ago, but the leadership laurels have to go to CamJ.
He’s the team’s leading scorer at 18.9 points, a career-high, and is also shooting 48/40/89, all but the middle number tops in his six-year career. He’s rounded out his game, no longer limited to catch-and-shoot. If he finishes the season with a effective shooting percentage about 60%, which highly likely, he’ll get a $563,000 bonus.
