Former UNC basketball star Cam Johnson is on track to record career-high averages.
After losing three straight games and five of their past six, the Brooklyn Nets needed to get back on the right track against the visiting Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. And 2017-19 UNC basketball forward answered the call, as the former No. 11 overall draft pick delivered a season-high 34 points — only four shy of his top scoring outing as a pro — in his squad's 116-115 victory.
Cam Johnson's 18.1 points per game this season, his third in Brooklyn after spending three and a half years with the Phoenix Suns to begin his NBA career, are 2.6 more than his previous career high. He's also outperforming his previous campaigns in the assist department with 2.9 per outing.Meanwhile, the Nets' other UNC basketball talent, fourth-year Brooklyn big man Day'Ron Sharpe, has not made his season debut yet.
