No. 16: Cameron Johnson

One of the most influential transfers in the history of the UNC Basketball program is by far Cameron Johnson. A transfer from Pittsburgh, Johnson came to Chapel Hill with two years of eligibility remaining and became an immediate three-point threat for the Tar Heels. He was the best shooter on the 2018-19 team, making 45.7% of his three-pointer attempts.

During his senior season, he played in every game for the Tar Heels, averaging 29.9 minutes per game. His production from beyond the arc was crucial in the UNC Basketball team earning the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and making the Sweet Sixteen. He averaged 16.9 points per game that season.

During his time in Chapel Hill, he averaged 29.6 minutes per game and 14.7 points per game while making 2.2 three-pointers per game. Not only was Johnson productive as a Tar Heel under Roy Williams, but he has become one of the most notable players to make the NBA and have a successful career.
