If Jamal scores 21 points, the total number of points besides his is 75-21=<<75-21=54>>54
Together Cameron and Jamal scored 54 points, and since Jamal had already scored 21 points, Cameron scored 54-21=<<54-21=33>>33 points. Answer: \boxed{33}.

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct.
Let's assume that Cameron scored p points and Jamal scored 21 points.
The total number of points scored by the two players is given as 75, so we can write the equation:
p + 21 = 75
Subtracting 21 from both sides gives:
p = 75 - 21
p = 54
Therefore, Cameron scored 54 points.
