The Nuggets have only scratched the surface of Cam Johnson’s usefulness so far.
Two games into the preseason, his imprint has been relatively subtle, like how he manufactured an open 3-pointer for himself on Monday relative to how Michael Porter Jr.’s looks once materialized. Johnson was able to make a read, drive, kick and relocate, using his sure-handedness with the ball and acuity for spacing to generate a catch-and-shoot.
That’s the only 3-ball he’s knocked down so far this preseason. Johnson has scored 13 total points and two assists at a combined 5-for-9 shooting clip.
