This thread will be open at the conclusion of the season.

Pluses:
He shot 60% on 2pt FG's this year. That's incredible. As is his 7 foot wingspan. I would have taken him top 5 last year. I'm actually a little disappointed in his sophomore year, as efficient as he was. His PG's did not pass the ball much, though.

Minuses:
The big concern is that he doesn't get to the line and didn't post big assists or rebounding numbers. So, he's mostly a perimeter guy. More of a Rudy Gay or Kevin Martin type rather than a guy who can be the main ball handler like a Dwyane Wade or Brandon Roy.

Overall:
He does have Roy's calm, intuitive approach to the game. Most sites have him going between 7th and 13th. I think his range should be more like 3rd to 8th.

I'm with Lamb.

I wouldn't be worried about that. Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatwright were friggin' ball hogs on UConn.

[JamesNaismith]

Not gunna f*cking happen!


We pissed away our chances.....Lamb is going to be a combine star. The undersized PFs ie/ TRob and Sully will be the ones who drop....yay!!!!

[SkywalkerAC]

I agree that Lamb is going to be impressive in workouts. good chance he's gone by the chance we select. if he's there, it's a no brainer unless we win a top 3 pick.

Almost every single year a NON bottom 3 team ends up around the top of the draft.


We're picking 8th at best.

[JunkYardSubs]

No, were literally not picking 8th at best.

very rarely do teams outside of the top 8 move up. In fact, the only teams to have done it are Charlotte (3rd in 1999), and Chicago (won the lottery in 2008). So yes, while the order might change after the lottery, it's highly unlikely to impact us if we're sitting at 8th (unless if we move up ourselves). It would likely just shuffle the order of the teams that were picking ahead of us anyways. If my math is correct, there's only a 6.5% chance that we would move down after the lottery, so we'd actually have a higher chance of moving into the top 3.

[Waylon Mercy]

The only thing I can see the Raps being pessimistic about drafting Lamb is he's a tooth pick
and the team is already concerned about Davis, DeRozan, and Valanciunas being twigs.

Other then that he should be a slam dunk pick if hes still on the board
