He is putting up Lebron numbers in the d-league. In a three game stretch: 33-8-3 30-9-8 30-8-2 Given that the thunder are a championship contender the aren't going to play him. I wonder if he would play if he was with the rockets? DMo and Tjones have put up some numbers and they are in the same spot as lamb except the rockets aren't championship contenders.
Terrence Williams averaged a triple double in the D-League. I'll wait until he actually gets significant playing time in the NBA to make an accurate judgement of his potential.
As a guard, I think he would get some time with the Rockets. We're overloaded at the PF so that's understandable. Besides mchale has a thing for schitty PFs so he'll ignore the good ones and send them to the DL... but I digress.
Lamb is like a microwave he can heat up fast...he just needs to grow up in the nba...he can shoot and create his on shot....he has hops too...I don't know who to compare him to but he can be a good player
He could turn out to be a very good player. The big question is if he can get his shot off and play efficiently against an NBA defense.
Terrence Williams>Jeremy Lamb as far as all around. Lamb's jump shot will keep him in the league for a long time.
Ok, but T-Will was a complete dong who never showed what he could do because he was totally uncoachable, so it's sort of a poor comparison. Lamb has the skills, but more importantly the attitude to make a solid contribution in the NBA for several years I would expect. Kevin Martin and Nick Young have both had solid if not spectacular careers as good players on bad teams but Lamb has the chance to be a contributor to a potential juggernaut at the Thunder.
I watched one of the games and they had him running the point. I doubt they expect him to be a pg in the NBA, but it seems like a good way to become accustomed to handling the ball more than the 'stand in the corner' sgs.
He's got some talent, but he'll never be a superstar, probably not an all star (although there is a chance). Most likely he ends up as a solid starter, or a good 6th man type.
I would peg him more of like: Absolute Best Case Scenario: Ray Allen Worse Case Scenario: Chase Budinger
Chase Budinger is solid tho Funny thing is Lamb will probably get a lot less pt in his rookie year than Bud
