The Emergence of Demetri McCamey

One of the most overlooked players in the nation, Demetri McCamey, a rock solid point guard from Illinois has emerged from obscurity and jumped onto the radar board of every NBA team.  At 6 foot 3 inches tall and built like a football player, McCamey is an explosive package of quickness, strength and ball handling. His shake and bake moves and unique way of dipping his shoulders as he penetrates makes him very, very difficult to stay in front of.  His jumper has looked very good and he gets many good looks from outside because of his quickness.

But it's not all about pure athleticism and McCamey is far more than just an athlete.  He is a true point guard who loves to set up his teammates and only takes over the game when necessary.  He's only a Junior but he might be bouncing from college ball quicker than a crossover since he's now projected as a first round pick on some boards.  I've got him going in the lottery.
