Fantasy Analysis
Camby's back continues to be an issue and even when he is able to play, he seems to be limited on the court. While he is averaging 8.8 points and 10.6 rebounds per game in the month of April, Fantasy owners should consider the veteran merely a low-end option for the remainder of the season since he won't be playing at 100 percent.

J.J. Hickson has never really delivered on his potential, in part due to him being a defensive liability. However, as our Chris Towers writes, his could provide an offensive spark for both the Blazers and owners.
Marcus Camby was banged up more than usual during his first season with the Trail Blazers and was limited to 59 games -- his lowest mark since 2005-06 -- due to knee problems. When he was on the court, he averaged 4.7 points with 10.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks while seeing about 26 minutes a game. His 39.8 shooting percentage was the lowest of his career, as were most of his other offensive stats. His scoring was over six points off of his career mark but the 37-year-old was still able to chip in with some solid blocks and rebounding numbers while playing alongside LaMarcus Aldridge. The former Minute Man has never been a huge scoring threat and luckily he will not be counted on for much in 2011-12. Fantasy owners can expect his usual rebounds and defensive stats, as long as his body can hold up, but given his limited offense, consider Camby as a Fantasy center best left for category-based formats on Draft Day.
