With the 11th pick of the NBA Draft, Carolina’s Cameron Johnson was drafted by the Phoenix Suns. This pick is via a trade that the Suns made with the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier in the day, and may be the most shocking selection of the evening. Prior to just a few minutes ago, Johnson was projected to go late in the first round, and now he is a lottery pick that will be making his way out west.
Had anybody asked Tar Heels fans last year about whether or not Cam Johnson would eventually become a legitimately sought after NBA prospect, it’s safe to say that the opinions would’ve been fairly mixed.
