feels like a tall isaiah canaan to me... i would pray cam's length within the system make a huge difference between the two.
we already need a backup five who can anchor the second unit and be a spot starter. acquiring dedmon, bryant, nerlens, or whomever would be even more important if we were to draft cam johnson.
Big 76ers and UNC fan, Cam is a really nice player I'm in shock people have him rated so high in mocks. Honestly I won't be happy if we pick him at 24. He's just a solid 4 year college player. Good kid plays with effort . To me there's nothing special about his game that sets him apart you can say his shooting but he was kind of an up and down player. Never felt like he was great coming off screens and he's not gonna beat u off the dribble. Gives effort on defense but he's not that gritty tough guy. I think he's a poor man's Justin Jackson another UNC alum who Sacramento picked 2 years ago.
