Remember this name--Jeremy Lamb PG/SG

[Charsace]

A shorter, but better shooting Thabo Sefolosha

I think he has to potential to be a Joe Johnson/Brandon Roy/Steve Smith type of player. I think he has a better handle and shooting than Thabo already. He has to tools to be a primary scorer in the NBA. He should go top 3.

I was a big fan of his before people jumped on his bandwagon as if it was loaded with hundred dollar bills. But a little realisticism (Is that a word?) would be nice. He's not an easy player to grade, because his role has been kept small - He's had a Batman as a teammate, and he's only been asked to be Robin or Alfred. And he's not a type A personality. We'll have to see how he develops without Walker to really tell what kind of NBA player he's likely to be.

This is exactly why he should declare. His stock is high right now, but if he comes back and struggles being the man next year, it will tumble quickly.

not every top prospect has to be an alpha male or batman.
he's shown that he knows how to play in a system and play off others which is what he'll likely do at the next level.

I don't have a link, but Lamb is 100% returning to UConn next year.

I think posters are oblivious to what school he goes to, he's not coming out, no way in hell would Calhoun advise him to and Calhoun's guys always listen to him. Rip and BG already spoke to him after the game on Monday and told him he needs at least another year.

You're either missing or ignoring my point - which is we don't know what kind of player he's going to be. For all we know, he may become that type A guy if that opportunity presents itself. Cammo makes an interesting point - which I'm not sure whether I agree or disagree with.

no, i know what you're saying. we dont know how he'll turn out, but what we can do is take what we've seen from him and project. right now he projects to be a good off the ball scorer who moves well, can make shots from all over the floor and make sound decisions.
i think he'll project to be something similar at the next level. if he adds more to his game thats a bonus.
isnt a projecting one of the more "fun" things to do on the nbadraft board? its not like we're working with a blank slate here. i've seen lamb play and i like his potential as an off the ball scorer.
i too dont think he has the temperament to be the man, but thats fine. very few players at the next level are truly good at being "the man." i'd like to see more lambs in the league.

Lets remember that he's an 18 year old freshman and had one of the best leaders in CBB next to him to rely on before we label him not capable of being "the man"

I don't think anyone is saying he can't be the man, only that he has yet to prove it.

Good point. I just think in his case, there is so much unknown that there really isn't enough info to make a fair projection.
