Denver Nuggets: 5 Best Nuggets Players since 2000

#5 Marcus Camby

Marcus Camby won the Defensive Player of the year award in 2007

Marcus Camby, the second overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft, was one of the best shot-blockers the game has ever seen. Camby played in 17 seasons in the NBA, including six with the Denver Nuggets.

The center averaged a double-double over the season in three of the six seasons he was part of. He is second on the all-time blocks list with 1126 shots blocked. He led the league in blocks per game in four seasons, and three of those came during his time with the Nuggets.

Camby was named the Defensive Player of the Year in 2007 and was named to the All-Defensive First Team twice and All-Defensive Second Team twice in his career. He averaged 3.0 blocks per game during his six year stint with the franchise but was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers because of the lack of post-season success, in 2008.
