In the latest mock draft by Jonathan Givony of ESPN, the Oklahoma City Thunder are projected to take former North Carolina forward Cameron Johnson with the 21st overall pick.

Johnson averaged 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 36 games this season for the Tar Heels. He has been regarded as one of the best shooters in the draft after converting on 45.7 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.

The ACC All-First Team player attended the NBA Draft Combine last month but did not participate in the on-court scrimmages. He measured in at 6-foot-8.5 in shoes with a 6-foot-10 wingspan.

Most believe Johnson can step in and contribute immediately and would certainly fill a need for the Thunder as a strong shooter. The 23-year-old is projected by many to be taken in the 20s so it would not be a reach for the Thunder to nab him at 21.

Johnson has a clean stroke and a quick release and figures to have no problem adjusting to the NBA three-point line. His range was on full display during the NCAA Tournament when he dropped in a number of deep treys from NBA range.

The Thunder are beginning to ramp up pre-draft workouts so they are certainly looking at all of their options in the first round but Johnson figures to be a strong candidate to be taken at 21 given his shooting ability.

For now, Thunder fans can only hope for Johnson.
