I saw Camby work out at Midnight Madness his freshman year at UMass. The players were doing some flashy drills and I could see that he had the best hands and quickest reflexes of a guy that tall that I had ever seen. While I was concerned about his build, you may recall that Moses Maolne was no bruiser at that age, so I figured he'd fill out more than he did.
For all he has been criticized for not fulfilling his potential, I think he is the best shot blocker I have ever seen play (and I saw the Boston Celtics when they played a scrimmage game at my junior high back in 1966), and can be the key inside presence on a championship team if surrounded with the right other players.
I can't believe this guy got past Joe Dumars (GM Pistons), especially for this price. Blue collar worker, who would have fit in beautifully in the Pistons rotation.
(Sorry this post is a few days late, just don't have the time to post as often as before my new job. The hours are killing me, but the money is worth it.)
