    He also looked really good in the summer league IIRC. But if his shooting continues to struggle against NBA competition, then the 4A comparison seems very apt. TBH, I thought Lamb was kind of a "safe" pick. In that he has that Rip Hamilton/Kevin Martin type of upside as a pure scorer and nothing else. If he can't even do that, then he's just a pure bust.

    And while I do get a laugh at every news that tilt the Harden trade towards us, Lamb not working out does continue the trend of us not really drafting well in the first round. All our upside picks so far not succeeded yet, although some still may. And Morey certainly entertained the idea of trading up to get TRob, who's also looking pretty poor. The Rockets seem much better when they're drafting seniors that project to be role players.

    Landry, Lowry(issues were more injury related), Battier, Jordan Hill(got the Lakers to pay him $4mi/yr). And while not technically trade, Dragic and Scola both are still quite good. Just played in such crappy conditions on that horrible Suns team.

    It's preseason and incredible small sample size.

    Harden shot 28.9% from the field(14 FGA per game) and 25% from 3pt(5 3PTA per game) last preseason.

    I know this is off topic, but there was a Grantland video where Harden and Durant were talking about how much they missed playing with each other. What if we could get Durant to sign when he becomes a FA.

    D12
    PF
    Durant
    Harden
    PG

    That right there is a Dynasty.

    Wishful thinking. I know. :grin:

    Have you not heard that Canaan was the second coming of Kyle Lowry?
