Welcome Cam Johnson

james jones won't even come out for a press conference tonight.

He's a freaking coward. That's pathetic. A TERRIBLE look for a franchise that has looked terrible for almost a decade.

What about the assistant GM who’s making the picks?

 

[Yuma]

Uh well, he certainly was not rated nearly this high - but the guy can shoot - and has NBA size.

Seems like they could have gotten him at 20 though.

Can't when you only have one pick.

 

[SunsFanFirst]

I love people crying about drafting one over rated player over another (Clark still not drafted).

That said we messed up not taking Chuma Okeke

The Suns got a grade of D from CBS Sports for selecting Cam Johnson.

[Sunburn]

Even Cam Johnson feels bad for Suns fans right now.

 

[Raindog]

Literally every other team picking in the first round is going to have a better rated draft than the Suns.

Surprising. Is CBS aware there are 22 letters after D?

Did we just become the NY Knicks? He was a highly sought after transfer a couple of years ago whom Sean Miller wanted but #11 overall? If PHX was going to reach at #11 it should have been Ty Jerome who can play either back court spot and can shoot, handle, pass and defend a little.

He can’t comment on the pick or the player until it becomes official on July 6th. Seriously stupid nba rule.

Did JJ have to show up for James Jones and buy $20,000 in beer for everyone?

 

[JerkFace]

The NBA really needs to change the rules about announcing trades. The players wearing wrong hats and GMs who can’t even discuss the players that they just drafted is seriously stupid.

This is idiocy on a whole new level.

This guy wasn't even projected to be a first round pick. He is a much less athletic and less talented version of TJ Warren, and he doesn't fill a need.

You can also probably say goodbye to Oubre with our glut of wings.

This is shaping up to be a team that will be lucky to win 10 games next year.

Booker has to be wanting out ASAP.

We all know very little about Cam Johnson, and we all agree it was a reach, but this kids has Steph Curry range and is deadly accurate. If we drafted Kyle Korver at #11 that's a home run.

Look at where he shoots it from in this vid. He shot 46% from 3 too.

[Chaplin]

Nice highlights. He's got active hands on defense and NBA range. Still not worth the #11, but whatever.

 

[Chaplin]

I just realized.

Cam Johnson is our Troy Daniels replacement. Oy.

Kyle Korver is not what I want to draft at 11. And that is a best case scenario.

Glad we spent our first rounder on that while still not having a starting point guard or power forward. SMDH.

 

[dscher]

This has to hurt for Colangelo. You know it stings.. Spent his hard earned years building this culture and franchise just to see it all wiped out by Sarver in just a short amount of time..sad.

 

[Folster]

Maybe a better comparison for Cam Johnson is Brian Cook.

Only Brian Cook was 2 inches taller, 30 pounds heavier and a ton more athletic.

Another video on Cam Johnson. Best shooter in the draft.

What good is the best shot if you don't have the athleticism to get it off in the NBA, the driving or passing ability to keep opposing defenses honest, or the moves to create space to get a shot off?

Troy opted out? He has a player option.

What about Kyle Korver or even James Jones?
