Through no fault of his own, Cam Johnson has basically spent the last two and a half years in NBA purgatory, playing for the Brooklyn Nets. So it’s hard to blame any fans whose most vivid memories come from his time as a young role player for the Suns team that made a run to the Finals in 2021.
In that same vein, it’s no surprise that most fans may not realize Johnson is a drastically different player than the one he was in Phoenix. He was mostly a standstill shooter, someone who was frequently relegated to the corners on offense and asked to chase shooters around on defense.
