Cameron Johnson Career

High school career

Johnson averaged 27.8 points, eight rebounds, and five assists per game as a senior at OLSH. He won 1,175 points in his career. In April 2014, he signed with Pittsburgh.

College career

Johnson sustained a knee injury shortly into his first year at Pittsburgh, and he was allowed to redshirt during the season in order to recover from injury. During his redshirt freshman year, he was used as a substitute. Johnson, a Pitt redshirt sophomore, averaged 11.9 points per game and made 41.5% of his three-point attempts. In three years, Johnson earned a degree in communications from Pittsburgh. He took advantage of the graduate transfer policy and moved to North Carolina without waiting out a year. The University of Pittsburgh initially refused to release him to their in-conference rival Tar Heels, but eventually relented. He cited uncertainty in teaching and a losing record as reasons for his decision to transfer.

Johnson underwent surgery on November 15, 2017, five days after his team's season opener, to repair a torn meniscus. Johnson played out ten games instead of sitting out. Despite being limited by the injury, Johnson finished third on the team in scoring with 12.4 points per game as well as grabbing 4.7 rebounds per game in his redshirt junior season. Johnson scored a career-high 32 points against Clemson. Johnson underwent anarthroscopic hip surgery and revealed that he would return to North Carolina for his senior season.

Johnson's senior season was his most financially productive campaign. Johnson, the leading scorer for the Tar Heels with 16.9 points per game and averaged 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists, despite being marred by injury. Johnson fired 50.6 percent from the field and 45.7 percent from three, prompting some analysts to call Johnson "the best shooter in [the] draft." During his senior season, Johnson had several memorable appearances. Johnson shot 79% from the field for the game and made his first six three-point attempts, eventually falling out of the Demon Deacons by 27 points. Johnson won by 26 points over Cameron Indoor Stadium, defeating the Blue Devils 88–72, then the nation's top-ranked team. Johnson won by six points over Clemson in Littlejohn Coliseum, defeating them by two points. Johnson was named to the All-ACC first team following the conclusion of conference play.

Johnson scored his first career high of 21 points off the bench in a 116-100 victory over the Sacramento Kings on December 27, 2020. Johnson helped the Suns reach the 2021 NBA Finals, but the Suns lost the series in six games to the Milwaukee Bucks.
