Toumani Camara: In-depth College Analysis & pre-Draft Comps (Charts & Graph)
Not a Blazers fan but Camara has been hard to ignore! I wanted to give him some recognitions and give my breakdown of Camara's game using his college statistics and his 'Ceiling - best case scenario' - so you know the kind of player I think ya'll may be getting, data is derived from my computed college percentiles (scales by Per 40) per draft classes.
Comp: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Camara's Shooting chart [look at the Percentile Column], and every Pro categories are basically everything MKG excels at as well - and some even better than MGK. Remember this is the college MKG #2 overall pick coming out of college and is no slight to Camara at all!
Pros
- Elite Rebounding (96th Percentile in DReb)
- Slasher (90th Percentile in Dunks/CloseShot)
- Efficient Shooting (88th Percentile in TS%/eFG%)
- Def Stops (97th Percentile is ELITE)
Cons
- 3PT Shooting (38th Percentile is below average), but isn't unredeemable.

"Off Rebounding Defender" Chart
- All SFs past 5 drafts and their Off Rebounding/Defensive Stops
- Camara and MGK really stands out in these categories along names like Jaime Jaquez and Herbert Jones.
