Cameron Johnson can play, folks.

[IndyCat1995]

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

 

[WildMoon]

no, doesn't remind me of Murray at all..

 

[MasonCoBlue]

Reminds me more of Penny Hardaway (no I don't think he's THAT good). But young style of play. I like the experience he would bring.

He is NOTHING like Hardaway [laughing].

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Reminds me of a taller Kobe Bryant.

 

[Blue Decade]

Agree. Compared to Murray, not much similarity. Different body type and game. But I think Johnson is Kentucky bound. It's a great fit and good timing. Calipari doesn't take many transfers, only Harrow and Mays so far. But all the stars seem to be aligning for Johnson to Kentucky.

 

[IndyCat1995]

You can't tell me the way he shoots the 3 doesn't look a BIT like Murray's stroke..

 

[madison1329]

Guys, please stop with the constant comparisons. 98% of the time they are awful.

 

[paul.ksr]

It looks as though he would be a nice pickup

 

[78Gooses]

Thanks for the link, op.

 

[Aike]

I haven't been following this closely - didn't realize he's from Cal's hometown and his dad played for Cal.

I know Cal isn't crazy about grad transfers because of what it does to coaches, but I somehow doubt he minds taking somone from Stallings.

 

[BassProCat]

I'll agree with ya his stroke reminds me a lil bit of murrays. The way he catches it and gets it loaded to fire.

Reminds me of the white side of lonzo ball lol just joking

 

[EliteBlue]

Justin Jackson for UNC. Same build. Same skill set.

 

[Bobcat94_rivals]

I really want to add Johnson to next years squad. I want him more that Knox.

 

[o_Ricky]

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.

 

[docholiday51]

If he comes we will have a boatload of 6'8" or 6'9" kids with the same body type and athletic ability.The skill sets will be somewhat different but there are only so many of them you can put on the floor at the same time

 

[trueblujr]

I think Cal is ok with this grad transfer, partly because of the connections and also because he has two years of eligibility.

 

[Whoppercat]

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

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

 

[Aike]

Reminds me of a young Usain Bolt with the hands of Randy Moss.

Hustles like Pete Rose, with the footwork of Pele.

I think he's generally ok once a guy declares he's leaving. He has a philosophical problem with coaches keeping a recruiting board of possible grad transfers and pursuing them.

But like I said before, I doubt he minds sticking it to Stallings.

 

[thebluestripes]

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

 

[WildMoon]

i would have used

Curry for shots, his defense like Jordan, but his body type is like Lebron. I see a lot of John Wall speed and Westbrook aggressiveness.

 

[WildMoon]

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

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.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Reminds me of a guy who could come to UK, average 6 points/game, and be a solid role player for two years while keeping the opposing defense honest.

 

[ukhemingway]

Justin Jackson... Looks like him a lot

 

[WildMoon]

Reminds me of a guy who could come to UK, average 6 points/game, and be a solid role player for two years while keeping the opposing defense honest.

for me, he reminds me of a player that gets thread started about. "Why isn't Cam Johnson not playing?" after first game, because Vanderbilt looked shaky.

 

[mjj_2K]

Reminds me of a more consistent shooting, but far less athletically gifted Darnell Dodson. With, I would assume, a much better attitude and far less love of smoking weed.

Tall catch-and shoot guy. Useful, but the question will be whether he's athletic enough to guard anyone, and whether he can contribute anything outside of the bombs away. He could thrive in a role like Wiltjer had in 11-12. Not so sure how it will go if he's asked to do a lot more than that (like Wiltjer in 12-13).

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Damn that jumper is pretty

probably the most fair assessment of him.

 

[lennyd250cat]

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

 

[CatsPaws270]

He seems to me like what we wanted Mulder to be at the time. Long, athletic, and money from down town. He is all you need to stretch a defense, a shooter that the defense will collapse on when he gets a good look from 3z

 

[efauth99]

I see Michael Jordan in him.

 

[OHcatfan]

I see Mulder 2.0.

 

[docholiday51]

I see Mulder 2.0.

Yes I can see that,I don't see a Murray or Monk on next years team,Mulder would have had a different role if those two had not been around.

 

[TroutBum]

If he comes and plays he will be complained about, if he comes but doesn't play Cal will be complained about!

 

[MasonCoBlue]

He is NOTHING like Hardaway [laughing].

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.

 

[mjj_2K]

Not fair.

Mulder had never played D1 ball. Johnson has, at the highest level, and while he wasn't great, he wasn't bad, either.

 

[BBUK_anon]

I see Michael Jordan in him.

Yeah, if he and MJ would play today He'd give MJ a game...

 

[docholiday51]

Yeah, if he and MJ would play today He'd give MJ a game...

He'd have no chance against Lavar though,no chance at all

 

[Catzman]

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