Phoenix Suns: Player grades from a dramatic win over the Mavericks

Have a game, Cam Johnson
Grade: A

If Cameron Johnson is to play the power forward position, he is going to have to rebound, and rebound is exactly what he did against the Dallas Mavericks. Johnson notched his first career double-double, pouring in 20 points and grabbing a team-high 12 boards.

Cam had his usual hot hand from behind the arc, hitting four of his eight attempts and hustled after several rebounds he typically doesn’t get.

He also found himself switched on Luka several times and for the most part, played disciplined defense, using his length and lateral quickness to limit Doncic while staying on his feet and not falling for any of his head fakes.

If he can keep up this level of play, then he will make a lot of fans and pundits alike eat their words when they criticized the team for drafting him 11th overall in the 2019 draft.
