#2. Jeremy Lamb-5 Games, 29 Minutes, 20PPG, 4.4RPG, 0.8APG, 1SPG, 47%FG, 27%3FG, 92%FT

Jeremy Lamb was 4th overall in points in the summer league, putting up an even 100 points in his 5 games. He is a scorer in every sense, being a threat from outside, mid range and getting to the line in his effortless manner. He was more aggressive and physical than his frame suggests, not averse to contact when getting to the line of crashing the boards. Lamb was active off the ball and used his quick release. Lamb quieted many of his critics who said he "wasn't assertive enough" and "lacked intensity". He looked better than Beal in their match up and could ultimately make a lot of teams look bad for passing on him, including Cleveland at 4, and particularly New Orleans at 10


#3 Terrence Jones-5 Games, 25 Minutes, 18.2PPG, 8.6RPG, 1.4APG, 50%FG, 33%3FG, 76%FT

Lamb’s teammate Terrence Jones, impressed in his first summer league, proving that he can do a bit of everything. Offensively, he can play down low, hit the outside shot and run the floor. He was solid defensively and his versatility will allow him to defend multiple positions at the next level.


#4 Donatas Motiejunas- 4 Games, 25 Minutes, 16.3PPG, 7.8RPG, 0.8APG, 0.8SPG 0.8BPG 62%FG, 29%3FG, 54%FT

Motiejunas made an impressive start before a poor showing in his second game where he failed to make a field goal. Motiejunas bounced back well in his final two games to make the summer league All-Star team and draw the appreciation of Chris Webber. He showed some nice moves around the basket with a soft touch inside. He displayed his outside touch, stepped out twice in his first game to knock down shots from long range. Motiejunas is long and athletic and finished summer league with one of the better offensive rebound averages (3.8). Over time, look for him to prove to be a huge steal for Houston at the 20th pick in 2011

I like how the rest of the league views our players, everybody was so upset that we passed on Fab Melo, Zeller, and P.Jones. But Morey is so effing underrated when it comes to spotting talent

Morey could have easily drafted 3 of the best players in the draft. Royce White was listed as a honorable mention on this list

 

lock if already posted, and sorry about the font

 

lol thx man

 

Well are they gonna let him walk at the end of the year, or take significantly less from another team

btw im curious who is your source..( not trying to be rude)

 

I honestly dont know, but im hoping that Lin and Dwight can make our team more flashy and get more media attention. I like our rookies, but they are just rookies

But im starting to lean to keeping the rookies, and using the OKC model

In Morey i mothereffing Trust
