NBA News – Denver’s Marcus Camby leads the NBA with six 20-plus rebounding performances this season. His six have already surpassed the amount posted by last season’s league leader, New Orleans’ Tyson Chandler, who paced the NBA with five 20-board outings in 73 games. Camby has already bested his personal best for a single season (five in 56 appearances during 2005-06). He has 26 games of 20-plus boards in 616 career games during his first 11 seasons in the NBA, 21 coming with the Nuggets.
The Denver Nuggets have signed F/C Jelani McCoy. He’s 6-10, 245 pounds and comes from the D-League’s Los Angeles D-Fenders team. The Nuggets have injuries up front and needed some extra size. They recently cut Mike Wilks.
McCoy is a pretty good player and I think he belongs in the league, towards the end of a bench, but with a legit deal.
