    Their game is alike I think thats a perfect player to compare Lamb to and they have the same body type 6'5/6'4 skinny build.

    Yeah that what im saying he will be a prolific scorer but will struggle on defense because of his skinny body.

    I definitely see Lamb being sort of a Kevin Martin/Monta Ellis 2.0, which would be great value at mid 1st round. People vastly underrate the value of being able to score 20+ night in and night out. His individual defense isn't great, like both those guys, but can be worked on and can be hidden under a good coach's team defense.

    You want lamb to be someone that can score 25 a game, suffers injuries, less efficient than Kmart and plays no defense?People get on martin enough.

    Why does everybody say lamb is a lamb? He has gained some muscle in those arms already at age 20, compared to just a season and a half ago. Shoot, he looks like bane next to Kmart as of right now.

    I wouldnt compare Lamb to Ellis because Ellis is more of a combo guard. Lamb is a SG, point blank period. I wouldnt compare him to K Mart either because of the fact K Mart shoots from the hip which makes it hard for him to get a jumpshot off in an ISO situation, Lamb has a more traditional jump shot. If you guys are looking for guys to compare him to how about Reggie Miller and Richard Hamilton

    They don't have the same body type. Lamb is longer-limbed, especially his wingspan.

    Although both have a shooting guard's style, ellis moves closer to a scoring point and Lamb closer to a SF.

    I can also see Lamb being less streaky than Monta is, while not going to the rim as much.

    So, no he's not the next Monta Ellis.

    You're right, plus as demonstrated in above image one has the Oh! Face and the other the Ah! Face....so op should stick to the T-Mac comparison.

    I have this weird feeling that Jeremy Lamb is going to be the next Jeremy Lamb.
