There Phoenix Suns lost at home again, this time against the Toronto Raptors. But among the darkness of yet another blown opportunity against a good team, rookie Cam Johnson had the kind of game that should make fans hopeful for his future with the franchise.
Ironically on his 24th birthday, Johnson had the highest-scoring game of his career, 21 points, while hitting a career-high 5 3’s.
Granted, he attempted a career-high 13 from beyond the arc, but along with two slashing scores (one dunk in the fourth quarter off a beautiful pump fake from beyond the arc), and he showed just what he may develop into, the kind of accurate scorer that James Jones was apparently hoping to get when he traded back on draft day to snatch him.
