Known for her offensive skills and defensive game, Little and fellow All-American Ivory Latta led the North Carolina Tar Heels to two Final Four appearances in her four years at North Carolina.

Professional

Little was selected 17th overall by the San Antonio Silver Stars in the 2007 WNBA Draft. Dan Hughes, the Silver Stars' coach and general manager, was surprised she was still available: "No mock-draft scenario we put together had us able to get Camille in the second round."

On April 9, 2008 Little was traded along with Chioma Nnamaka and the first round pick of the 2009 WNBA draft to the Atlanta Dream for Ann Wauters, Morenike Atunrase, and the second round pick of the 2009 WNBA draft. On June 22, 2008 Little was traded to the Seattle Storm for a second round pick of the 2009 WNBA Draft. Little helped the Seattle Storm win their second championship in 2010.[3]
