Yeah, but I think he would have been gone by 21 (both OKC and GS were targeting him). So, maybe you drop from 11 to 18-20 and get a mid 2nd - but you risk losing him:
The Warriors are salivating for Cam Johnson, but he will come with a steep price to pay
Quote:
Cam Johnson is quickly going up draft boards at an alarming rate, as teams have quickly realized that he’s a promising player with elite-level shooting skills — primarily what NBA teams will value over the course of the years, since it’s one of the few skills that has proven to age well.
Johnson was previously slotted to be the one of the first players snatched in the second round, but he’s quickly being considered at the bottom of the first, as teams like the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, and the Oklahoma City Thunder have expressed interest in drafting him.
Elite shooters often get picked at some point after the middle of the first round — take for instance Maryland’s Kevin Huerter, who was selected 19th overall by the Atlanta Hawks last year.
The Warriors have the 28th, 41st and 58th pick, which makes for a tough proposition.
Johnson could potentially go as high as No. 21 to the Thunder, a team in dire need of shooting after coming out short for that very reason in these past few trips to the postseason.

I'm not sure adding a mid-second is worth that risk if they liked him. Plus, they added Jalen Lecque post-draft (who many had pegged in the mid-second).
