Summary: McCamey has slowly but surely developed and matured during his time at Illinois. He is one of the better assist men in college hoops and has also developed into a reliable scorer. Though he is not a tremendous athlete, McCamey should get plenty of looks in the second round and could possibly sneak his way into the late-first.
Player Comparison: Jamaal Tinsley Tinsley was never the best athlete but proved to be a very crafty point guard. He could find the open teammate and score when needed, but was never going to overwhelm anybody. McCamey figures to be better suited in a reserve role like Tinsley even though he was a starter for most of his NBA career.
