2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Demetri McCamey


Position: Point Guard

Size: 6-3, 200

School: Illinois, Senior


Strengths:
  • Passing ability
  • Ball handling
  • Ability to create for himself and teammates
  • Three-point range
  • Pick and roll play
  • Pull up jumper
  • Almost has an extra gear when attacking the basket
  • Can post up smaller defenders
  • Strength
  • Plays with great confidence



    Weaknesses:
  • Defensive effort
  • Lateral quickness while defending on the perimeter
  • Shot selection questionable at times
  • Explosiveness
  • Maturity has been questioned

    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.
