The New Orleans Pelicans almost drafted this rising star

After being shipped out of town in order for the Phoenix Suns to acquire Kevin Durant, Cameron Johnson appears to have found a home with the Brooklyn Nets. Just recently, the soon-to-be fifth-year forward signed a 4-year, 94.5 million dollar contract that will keep him gainfully employed through the 2026-27 season.

At 6’8 with a 6’10 wingspan and a career 39.3% 3-point percentage, Johnson is the ideal blend of length and shooting that the Pelicans often try to go after (hence their drafting Jordan Hawkins with the 14th overall pick).
