His highlight reel honestly looked like a Kevin Martin one, minus all of the head fakes/fouls. Looks like a rich man's Martin to me. Same goofy shot.
I like the pick. I think Lamb was the best we could have gotten in that position, and he can be really good and a all-star
People need to quit it with this "rich man/poor man" stuff. It has to be one of the laziest, vaguest ways to describe a player ever. If the guy gets proper development, he'll be his own man and he'll be a good player regardless of who he compares favorably to.
I think he is a cross between Martin and Nick Young. He might end up a better defender than Martin and better offense than Nick Young. No doubt he may need a few pounds of muscle added. Like about 5 pounds. Gonna say he is better than Nick Young but not much I can think of projecting past that since he is still growing and has potential.
Except his game is quite a bit similar to Kevin Martin. He does have a pretty solid crossover, though.
In other words we shouldnt put a label on him yet with rich or poor mans version. He is only a sophomore and put up some good numbers. So where he grows or regresses from there can be anyones guess. He has a high ceiling though. Higher than Nick Youngs obviously because Nick Young stayed in college for one year later. I will start there as his low ceiling as long as he stays injury free and gets playing time.
No he really doesnt. I am saying a cross between a few players. Like Nick Young, Martin, and maybe a few others. Its hard to say where his career ends up. I have no cap on him yet.
I was watching some of his highlights on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw7RXNc75Rw The way he moves around the floor, sets for a shot, and his release really remind me of Martin. He also shoots a lot of shots using the same one handed flick shot that Martin uses.
He's nothing like Kevin Martin. Kevin can't create for others at all-- he either shoots or makes a move to the hoop looking for a foul. Lamb is a well above-average ballhandler with good vision, good shooting touch, and excellent pace. I agree with DD that he hits me as a Brandon Roy/James Harden-type old man game. I love this pick.
Ok I see some Reggie Miller in there. I am getting a boner now and have to step away before I get too excited.
Thank you Only thing he's similar to martin is that he moves very well without the ball. Isn't his mid-range FG percentage is like around 60s 55ish percent?
