Tim Kamczyc has a knack for doing all the little things that don't show up in the box score, but help the Vikings keep winning - diving for loose balls, setting screens, playing defense and rebounding in traffic. A tough, hard-nosed player who can play inside and outside, Kamczyc has emerged as a formidable front line player, getting stronger and quicker every year. Kamczyc is very active around the basket and has worked hard on his outside shooting to the point he can draw his defender away from the basket with his ability to knock down the three-point shot.
