Pitt grad Cam Johnson picked in first round of NBA draft
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsFormer Pitt guard Cameron Johnson was selected with the 11th overall pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night. Although he was initially selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Johnson was then traded to the Phoenix Suns in accordance with an agreement between the two teams.
The 6’9” sharpshooter is the first player associated with Pitt to go in the first round of the NBA draft since Steven Adams, and like Adams, his relationship with the program can be described as somewhat complicated.
