Since joining Suns however , Cameron has struggled initially as he only managed to average 2 points pregame across 24 games played due largely due to lack of playing time but all that changed this season when given opportunity under new head coach Monty Williams who has expressed great faith in young sharpshooter’s ability resulting in increased minuets off bench averaging 8 points a game while shooting amazing 47 percent from deep range making him one most reliable reserves for phoenix suns organization .
Cameron has also proven himself very unselfish type player who is always willing share ball with teamamtes which makes everyone around him better as shown during 2018-19 unc run when Tarheels offense became vastly more efficient after johnson started running point guard role .
