Remember the movie The Intern where old man Robert De Niro takes a beginner’s role with a bunch of youngsters a startup company? That’s pretty much Cameron Johnson, the sniper small forward taken by the Phoenix Suns with the 11th overall pick.
The rookie, at 23-years-old, is older than six other players on the roster including Devin Booker, and he’s only four months older than Kelly Oubre.
Johnson’s résumé showcases his extensive amateur career, consisting of five years of college with two different teams.
Starting out at the University of Pittsburgh – before The Intern even came out – Johnson only played eight games his freshman year due to a shoulder injury and garnered a medical redshirt.
