Remember this name--Jeremy Lamb PG/SG

He is very talented but no way is he a top pick in this draft. He's been playing very well for Uconn the past few weeks but before that he was very inconsistent.

Kemba gets all the attention from the defense so I would like to see what he can do as a top guy next year.

Does he project to be "the man" at the next level? He doesn't to me, so I don't see why that's important.

I really don't see anyway Lamb comes out after this year, Calhoun has never had a one and done and as good as Lamb is, I don't see him being the first. Why come out in a year where there is uncertainty about the '11-'12 season, when he can come back, put some weight on, have a great season and go even higher in the next draft?

Sounds like Harrison Barnes

Very good first half against Kentucky. He's going to be a lottery pick even if he declares this year

Agreed, but I doubt he declares this year. (Or at least I hope he doesn't)

I actually like Napier better as a prospect. Reminds me of a slower Monta Ellis. Lamb just doesn't do it for me.

What?! At best napier's another Scottie Reynolds, who went undrafted. Lamb is shooting 60% for the tourney and could be a lotto pick THIS year.
His poise and basketball acumen is off the charts and he's got longer arms than some NBA PFs.

Napier was so bad last night (except the rebound and the two FT's he shot at the end of the game). I wished he could just give the damn ball to Kemba instead of trying to do everything himself

I don't see any Ellis in him at all. He reminds me of some past Uconn pgs that can't really score, but can keep the dribble alive. He is like the tyreke brown(think that's his name) dude they had running point a few years ago

Taliek brown.
I think shabazz will be a better offensive player.

Years from now - hopefully you'll forget you ever mentioned that. :wink:

although they don't play alike at all, Napier does physically look a lot like Ellis on the court. Similar skin tone, both smaller guards, they both move in a similar fashion, both get in their defensive stance the same exact way. If you just glance it sort of looks like Ellis out there haha.

I've liked this dude in the tourney so far. 7'4" wingspan? wtf. That's Dwight territory, or at least where he was measured at.

I expect him to stay but if he doesn't he's probably going top 9. IMO.

Any idea where he's going to go if he declares this year? One of the more impressive freshmen this tourney if not the most

with the lack of SGs in the draft and in the league, i dont see how he makes it past lotto.
kid just has so much poise and savvy to his game. great effort as well.

He should definitely declare. Alec Burks is the only other first round prospect at shooting guard.

Next years SG class is just as think but why wait, he'd surely be a top 15 pick.
