Cam Johnson is preparing for a fresh start with the Nuggets
« That is the past. » To the question to give a personal assessment of the first 55 matches of the last season, Cam Johnson he prefers to look ahead, rather than reflect on a mixed first part of the season.
In late December, he injured his knee, taking him off the floor for several weeks. As a result, the former Nets player only played in 31 games. An absence that doesn’t make us forget his difficulty finding his place in the Nuggets offense at times. Averaging 11.5 points, despite playing 30 minutes, he never contributed as little goals as he did during his third season in the league, with the Suns.
« I learned from it. I’m learning how to play with this group, where to be effective and how to really help the team. And then it’s just about persistence. It’s almost like a new beginning for many of us, for us as a team and for me personally », Develops the 29-year-old player.
“The other four seeds have already won”
What lessons? ” Offensive rhythm, knowing where shots are coming from, defensive rhythm. When you change teams, it’s different; there is no other (Nikol) Jokic, nor another duo like Jokic and Jamal (Murray). It’s about learning where to position myself to best help the team », Designates the team’s 6th offensive option.
And this, behind the mentioned duo of stars, Aaron Gordon, Peyton Watson and Tim Hardaway Jr., who most often comes from the Denver bench. Because of their performances, the Nuggets may have less need for Cam Johnson’s points, while the man they traded for last summer, Michael Porter Jr., averaged 18 points and was a third offensive force.
Aside from his individual performances, Cam Johnson continues to enjoy developing within such a large team, with his “ The DNA of a winner, this championship mentality ». « The other four starters have already won. We have number 15 (Nikola Jokic) and everything he brings. We have a lot of talent and a great basketball IQ. And as this continues to develop, there are still many milestones to overcome. It’s not like our team has reached a ceiling », concludes the winger, undoubtedly talking about his own.
