The Nuggets got another win on Tuesday night in Sacramento, their fifth in a row, to improve the team to 8-2 on the season. It was a good night overall, but Denver’s biggest offseason acquisition, Cam Johnson, continued his struggles, scoring just 5 points in 22 minutes, shooting 2-6 from the field and 0-3 from three-point range.
Through his first ten games in Denver, Johnson is now averaging career lows across the board with just 7.7 points and 2.6 rebounds per game on 37% shooting and a paltry 21% from three-point range.
The counting stats are somehow even worse than Johnson’s rookie year in Phoenix, and his scoring average is down more than 10 points a night from last season with the Nets.
