Campbell made the New York Knicks Summer League roster after playing professionally in both Canada and the Czech Republic the past two seasons. With USK Praha in the Czech Republic last season, he put up 16.3 points per game while shooting 43% from the field while also pulling down over 3 rebounds per game and picking off a steal per night.
Like Roberts, Campbell made huge strides as a sophomore for the Bucs, earning 1st Team All-Suncoast Conference honors while putting up 13.7 points per game and shooting a blistering 52% from the field. He scored in double figured 17 times during his second season with the Bucs and five 20+ point scoring efforts.
