Surprise! Suns pick North Carolina forward Cam Johnson at No. 11 after trade with Minnesota

After moving back in the draft about an hour before the NBA Draft began on Thursday afternoon, the Suns used the No. 11 pick to select North Carolina’s Cam Johnson.

Minnesota originally owned the 11th pick but sought to move up to find their own point guard of the future, and after clearing cap space with another deal Thursday to get off T.J. Warren’s contract, the Suns appear to have decided on using free agency to get their point guard of the future and went with Johnson as a potential scoring forward off the bench.
