    Yes, UConn ran a one man Jeremy Lamb team. If Kemba Walker made Jeremy Lamb so good, I can't wait to see Lamb play with legit NBA players...

    Remember this Colin Cowherd rant? (Normally I like Cowherd, but...hindsight's a *****.)

    I said it before, and I'll say it again.

    The draft is a crapshoot.

    ^Herd, what an idiot. He needs to be called out on that. Basing Durant's game on his bench press and measurables, what an epic fail of a rant

    I'm saying if you look at all that Kemba Walker did at uconn and he is the 6th man on a bad team, then this means Lamb gonna have to really elevate his play.

    Walker didn't make Lamb. Lamb scored 35 points against Lithuania his game is more catered for nba vs NCAA watch...

    Too skinny to be expected to play defense.
    See also: Kevin Durant
    See also: Kevin Martin

    People's games don't translate the same from college to the NBA. Corey Maggette had an exponentially better career than Trajon Langdon, who you could was a better college player that year for Duke. Adam Morrison dominated college and didn't do s*** in the NBA. Lamb's numbers went up after Walker left. Was the team better? No, but Lamb was playing with inconsistent point guards and a big man that would disappear for stretches.

    I think Kevin Durant will be too skinny to play in the NBA.

    As stated before, there are tons of "skinny" all-star players in the league.

    Lambo will be alright!!

    Hell no, what a dumb question. Lamb could be our Abdul-Rauf as both were SGs but forced to play PG. I hope they try to play Lamb at PG and see how it goes. It's better than overpaying AB who also wasn't a passer, at least Jeremy is 6'5 and can play defense.

    I've seen players in the NBA who aren't nearly as tall as Lamb or as lengthy/big and they've had respectable NBA careers.
