The low amount of 20-burgers Cameron Johnson has this season (1) continues to vex me. How can this dude, this ROOKIE dude, have only a single 20-burger to his name?
Sidenote: if you go to Wendy’s and ask really nicely (and have a bro-ish rapport with the drive thru dude), they’ll make you a “20-burger”, which is a burger with 20 patties on it. As of yesterday, me and Johnson have had the same amount of 20-burgers this year. Johnson’s happened in March against the Raptors, and mine was super greasy and delicious but maybe a little too much for my delicate tummy.
Anyway, Johnson’s lack of eye-popping scoring games confuses me because he just REALLY looks like a good basketball player. His shot looks good, his body looks good. He’s not quite on the Chandler Hutchison level of “wow, that guy absolutely looks like the prototypical NBA player”, but he’s close. He’s also way better than Chandler Hutchison.
My advice: be more aggressive shooting shots that aren’t threes. That might mean going into the paint and banging around a little bit, but he’s 6’8″, he can handle it. That’s taller than Montrezl Harrell, and that dude dunks it with fury every chance he gets.
