UNC Basketball: Five Questions Surrounding Tar Heels Going into ACC Play

1. Where Does Cam Johnson Fit Into The Rotation?

The question that everyone wants to know the answer to is, where and how will Cam Johnson fit into the rotation.

Making his highly anticipated season debut against Wofford, a game that we can all erase from our memories, Johnson came off the bench and played the role of a spot-up shooter with all of his five shots coming from behind the arc.

Against Ohio State, he had a much more well-rounded offensive game, often times having plays run for him throughout the entire game.

So the question still remains heading into ACC play, where does he fit?

With the emergence of Kenny Williams as one of the Tar Heels best players and Theo Pinson being a four-year player and senior leader, Cam’s role this year may very well be a big scoring punch off the bench.

Thus far, through two games, Cam is averaging 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds on 42 percent shooting in just 20.0 minutes per game.

Though it is just two games, he is currently the leading bench scorer per game in the ACC and with his comfort level and chemistry continuing to grow with each game, you can only expect those numbers to stay the same, if not continue to increase.

With so many options the Tar Heels have in the starting lineup – Berry, Williams, Pinson, and Maye – the bench will be a crucial part to the success of the Heels during ACC play, and Cam may end up being the ACC’s Sixth Man of the Year.
