Former UNC basketball sharpshooter Cameron Johnson had a career night against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.

Second-year Phoenix Suns small forward Cameron Johnson has gotten off to a hot start this season, scoring double-digit points in two of his first three games and shooting the ball as well as anyone in the league.

He had his best game of the young season on Sunday night when he poured in a career-high 21 points on an outstanding 7-for-9 shooting performance that included 3-of-4 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free throw line.
