NBA Draft: Cameron Johnson is selected 11th overall by the Phoenix Suns

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.
