Regarded mostly as a Defensive specialist in his career, Marcus Camby won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2007 and was chosen for four NBA All Defensive Teams (two First Team and two Second Team) and would also lead the NBA in Blocks per Game four times. Camby would average 9.8 Rebounds per Game and still show some offensive acumen with a respectable 9.5 Points per Game. Considering that Camby has never been chosen to an NBA All Star Game, he has a career PER of 17.8, which actually is better than some existing members of the NBA Hall of Fame.
Another factor that works strongly in Camby’s favour is that the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is that they factor in College accomplishments. Camby took his UMASS Minutemen to the Final Four and was named the Naismith College Player of the Year in 1996. It may not be enough to get him into this Hall of Fame, but it doesn’t hurt.
