    Durant and Kevin Martin have the same body types, and they can ball.

    being skinny helps him run around screws to catch and shoot.

    Anytime someone says "too skinny" I remember that Durant couldn't do one rep at the combine. He's now the best scorer in the world.

    He's only in the league because of Kemba Walker.

    If you look at how great Kemba Walker was at Uconn and he is coming off the bench on the Bobcats who look just like Houston Rockets.

    I mean Kevin Martin doesn't play much defense but his offense saves him so Lamb is gonna have to do big things to make the cut.

    One month in Houston should solve that. One of the fattest cities in the US.

    Basketball is more about quickness than muscles.

    As long as long as he isn't fragile, being skinny won't be that much of problem.

    Didn't seem to hurt Reggie Miller and the game was a hell of a lot more physical back then.Lamb is still young and will fill out.

    Anyone that skinny could be. The point is could also be good by just skill like Reggie Miller. The point is he is has the height and length already paired with those balling skills. Those talents he has can be worked on and added to naturally through work of adding some bulk and maturing. Those things are fixable and have high upside. What cant be fixed is missing the height and length like the other SG drafted ahead of him. He has much more room to grow in some areas/improve.
