    He is averaging 5.5 assts a game. That means he is the 2nd best pg on the team. Why does Nate force him to play center? His body will never take the pounding of a full season at center. Also because he is so tall he can guard any pg in the league.

    He probably is one of the three best passers on the team, but I don't know how well he can advance the ball from the backcourt. If Jamal can bring it up and then hand it to Camby at the top of the key, then I think we're golden.

    He is a great high to low passer for sure.

    He's averaging more assists per game, more AST/36, and has a better AST/TO ratio than Ricky Rubio in comparable minutes. We FINALLY have our long sought after PG of the Future!

    Oh, and Camby's team is 2-0. Rubio's is 0-2. Rubio pads his stats on a crappy team while Camby is leading the Blazers to an undefeated season! He deserves to be an all star, right KingSpeed?

    I would love to see us cross half court and immediately hand off the ball to Camby. I mean hell it might actually work ok it would just be to damn funny!

    As long as we don't have to watch him take that slow motion, wind-up top of the key set shot more than twice a game, I'd be fine with that. Just becuase he can shot over any other PG doesn't mean he should.

    Johnson, of course (Chris, not Armon), with Smith at backup 4 (Craig, not Nolan)

    This thread was going along nicely with some insightful discussion until you decided to be ridiculous.

    Damn! Too bad we traded Andre Miller. He was our second best post up scorer last season. Camby could run the point on offense (point center? stretch 5?) while Miller posts up down on the low block. And, then Camby could gurd the paint on defense with Miller picking up the other team's PG.
