« I should have put it, it’s for me », S’Excuse Cam Johnson He talks about that missed recording in the corner against Raptor in the pre-season. The perfectly opened recording that just generated genius Nikola Jokic, Author almost blind laser passage From … the opposite angle.

The action that well sums the adaptation phase is still ongoing for the former non-netting player, replaced this summer for Michael Porter Jr. The author of 11 points (4/6 in the recordings) at this meeting against Raptor, was satisfied with the Timed Exit with 2 points (1/3). And so far he has not brought great responsibility with the ball in his hand.

« We just try to feel comfortable. And Cam is one of those players who sometimes play for their teamplays instead of forceing their game. Today was a good opportunity to see them play in real conditions. I found him much more aggressive in the way he went for the ball », Notes David Adelman after Thursday’s practice.

The local technician believes that his new element should “ go more often on the right hand “. « I don’t even put any specific systems for him, but we will definitely get there. He is a really special player, because we can integrate it into many different contexts. “, David Adelman continues, which plans to play him as position 4.

I’ve never played a position in my whole life in my whole life before I arrived in the NBA. I touched him a little last year, in certain situations, when we had a freshman who didn’t really know this role. And I said, “Okay, I’ll do it because I know where to stand.” “Says a player from North Carolina.

The interested person believes that moving from one position to another should not change its positioning in attack or defense. ” I have the impression that, in any case, I defend me a little in all positions. It just means I have to go a little harder to jump and maybe ‘a box of a guy who is a little harder. As long as I’m on the field I’m fine “, Kam, Cam Johnson whose debut doesn’t care about it with his coach.

« Given our style of play, it is difficult to defend ourselves. We saw that we created very good shots. What excites me to see how I can continue to find more and more opportunities in the rhythm of what we do. And is still not entirely in place. I’m still trying to figure it all out. But by playing, we’ll get there “, Projects David Adelman wider.
