Cameron showed his potential with 29 goals from 16 games last season, but has improved dramatically this year despite the Giants' on-field struggles.
The 196cm spearhead has kicked 54.20 in 17 games this year, placing him equal second in the race for the Coleman medal.
To put his performances into context, star Brisbane forward Jonathan Brown didn't kick more than 50 goals in a season until his eighth year at the elite level.
St Kilda's Nick Riewoldt, Richmond's Jack Riewoldt and Adelaide's Taylor Walker each did it in their fourth season, while Hawthorn's Lance Franklin achieved the feat in his third year.
West Coast forward Josh Kennedy and Geelong's Tom Hawkins took six years before kicking more than 50 goals in a single campaign.
Eagles star Jack Darling booted 53 goals in his second year, but that was playing as the key focal point in a strong line-up that made it all the way to the semi-finals.
Lyon finds Cameron's return remarkable given he's in a team that has won only one game this season.
"The numbers tell you he's going to be a special player," Lyon said ahead of Sunday's clash with GWS at Patersons Stadium.
"He's an enormous athlete. If you go back and match him up against the best power forwards of their generation, they delivered in stronger teams.
"He's a freak. Plain and simple, he's a freak."
Lyon probably can't help but feel a tad jealous when he takes a glance at the Giants' key forwards.
Cameron is already well on his way to becoming a bona fide star, while Jonathon Patton has huge potential once he gets over his injuries.
And if the Giants can poach Franklin at the end of the season, they they will boast a triple skyscraper presence up forward.
Fremantle possess one of the best fleets of small forwards in the competition, and Chris Mayne is an excellent medium-sized target.
But their only genuine tall in attack is skipper Matthew Pavlich, who is nearing the end of his decorated career.
Nevertheless, the Dockers have put themselves in a strong position to make a dash at this year's premiership.
Fremantle will finish in the top-four should they beat GWS, Melbourne, Port Adelaide and St Kilda over the next four weeks, and a top-two berth isn't out of the question.
Pavlich will make his return from a three-match ban against GWS, while the Giants have handed a debut to 20-year-old former basketballer Tom Downie.
