NBA Mock Draft Pick #16 - Cameron Johnson, Forward, North Carolina
SB Nation’s Orlando Magic blog Orlando Pinstriped Post explains the pick:
After failing to come to an agreement on a trade to move back in the draft, taking Cam Johnson to fill in as a shooter off the bench made a lot of sense for the Magic. With a roster chalked full of below average shooters, adding a player like Johnson gives the Magic someone who can come in and make an impact right away. He’ll fit in nicely off the bench, and can be a player who fits in next to either Aaron Gordon or Jonathan Isaac very well. His gravity will open up driving lanes, and he likely becomes one of the two or three best shooters on the roster right off the bat.
