Cameron Johnson can play, folks.

[smooth as butter]

Not any better than Mulder. Mulder couldn't get much PT.

He is better then Mulder trust me.

 

[YourPublicEnemy]

He reminds me of a mixture of a young Bill Cartwright and Muggsy Bogues.

 

[thebluestripes]

to be frank...

College basketball player are very likely to be streaky... They are...still way to young.

One player in Cal's era that wasn't streaky, was Lamb. Beyond him, everyone was all over the place.

That's probably right. Seems like lamb was streaky his freshmen year as well.
Still yet I'd love to see us have a guard that we could count on to hit a good percentage every game

 

[madison1329]

Well...he wears an NCAA D1 uniform...he plays basketball...he's skilled, tall, and lanky...and he has experience. So NOTHING like Hardaway is a bit of an overkill. However, if you disagree...that's fine by me. Albeit the same, I like the get if we scoop him up.

Overreactions to a post crack me up.

He's literally nothing like Hardway. Hardway was essentially a 6'7 PG with great athleticism. Johnson is neither of those. He's mostly just a shooter. Terrible, ridiculous player comparisons crack me up. Seriously have to question if you've ever watched Hardaway play.

Lamb never had 2 straight games where he shot less than 33.3% from three.

Least streaky player ever.

Mulder was the 6th man on his JC team

 

[BBUK_anon]

His jump shot reminds me of KAT. Up front and high and quick release. Very nice jumper.

Yeah but he just doesn't have that slow walk...

 

[madison1329]

Johnson reminds me of a mix of Kevin Durant and Magic Johnson. Has PG skills like Magic and is tall + can shoot and play the 2 like Durant.

 

[caneintally]

He was the third leading scorer on a team that went 16-17. Might want to temper those expectations just a hair.

What the team did has nothing to do with him. He and Artis were ballers for Pitt but they had a garbage coach. Cam is going to be a good role player if he comes here. He will be on of our top 5 scorers IMO .

LOL Cam has proven himself in the ACC . This post is silly.

Johnson is like Penny Hardaway. He will be our best player.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Thread should have been titled:

Cameron Johnson can shoot, folks

 

[Soupbean]

But is he a streaky shooter? It seems like every guard we get has the reputation of being streaky

Streaky? Hell I didn't see him miss a thing!!!!

Bring him on!

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

Mulder was the 6th man on his JC team

He was their best player and leading scorer and he was a JUCO all-American. Speaks to the quality of competition in JUCO leagues I guess.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

watching his highlights .... the guy is like mulder in that he's a 3pt shooter only and cal likes his wings to be rim attackers.

 

[bookerfan66]

I have no doubt he could help us next season.Green is really our only 3 point threat.

 

[bluinbville]

to be frank...

I would add Miller to that ever so short list.

 

[track42]

We could really use this guy.Shooting is really a serious concern.

 

[CatsPaws270]

He was a sophomore playing in the ACC, he is a proven lights out shooter. Just imagine him a year older playing along side better players where he will probably get more open shots?

 

[Mike-D]

Not any better than Mulder. Mulder couldn't get much PT.

This post has a mix of barryn2000's keyboard game. Also reminds me of CUTNETS, and that crooked *** J. Overall though, very similar game to ulismyman.

 

[preacherfan]

His speed and athleticism remind me of Larry Bird. His smooth outside shot reminds me of Rondo. His power inside game reminds me of me!!! This kid is going to be special!

(okay, having a little fun just in response to the comparisons in the thread) In all seriousness, this kid is the next Bill Walton! He looks just like him!

 

[ORCAT]

Not any better than Mulder. Mulder couldn't get much PT.

Totally different players and from way different backgrounds. You just can't make a comparison between these two guys. I liked Mulder and wish he could have contributed more but I see Johnson as a much better and tested player. He went up against high level D1 competition for two years already and has proven himself to be a very good perimeter shooter against that type of competition. I'm not saying he will come in and be some superstar or anything but he would be exactly what we need on next year's team, a very reliable outside shooter to go along with all the talent we will have inside. He'd be a perfect mix and add lots of D1 level experience. Hope we get him.

 

[bucsrule8872]

This kid averaged around 12 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2 assists in 33 minutes per game last year.

He shot almost 42% from 3 on 6 attempts per game. Monk took about 7 attempts per game for comparison. So he is a little more consistent than Monk. I expect him to have the green light like Monk.

The kicker is, he did all this facing ACC competition. Not JUCO. Not HS. Not AAU. The ACC.

He definitely is proven.

Would be a great addition.

 

[Great Grandson of All American]

Reminds me of Tim Duncan.

Nope...never seen him play. Just pulled a random player from the NBA database.

 

[KDCats11]

Not any better than Mulder. Mulder couldn't get much PT.

He averaged 12 ppg in the ACC. Yes, he's better than Mulder. His size alone makes him better.

 

[LHScat]

I seriously see a lot of Jordan in his game.

 

[Drcats2025]

His shot reminds me of Jordan, but his body type is like Lebron. I see a lot of John Wall in his speed with the ball and i cant help but see a young Wilt when i see him under the board.

We have a winner.

 

[gracetoyou]

But is he a streaky shooter? It seems like every guard we get has the reputation of being streaky

41%

 

[gracetoyou]

He's very similar to Mulder

 

[anon_9qtxg60vqzy0y]

poor man's Devin Booker...

 

[marshalfan]

41%

When a good percentage is 40 that means you miss 6 out of 10 on average. I think "streaky" is way overused. Every player misses 3 or 4 in a row occasionally.

 

[Lonesome Hippopotamus]

We need someone to stretch the court. can he play good defense though?

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

Check his season highlights. Reminds me of Jamal Murray in some ways

He knocks down shots like Murray but not hardly as active on the floor like Murray. Johnson would be an awesome addition to the team and I love his quick release!

 

[white10]

He reminds me of Drake, especially if he can Rap " Started from the bottom"

We always over exaggerate the talent of transfers.

It's not like we need him to be great but his shooting could keep the defense honest.That looks to be our biggest weakness next season.
