This is what OKC is falling back on. If hes NBA ready he will dominate. Cross your fingers.

This dude can flat out ball yo

His first two games were a little rough, although he made some really nice plays down the stretch in the second game, and of course had the smooth game winner.

But he dominated today: 32 points on 10/14 shooting and a couple of those misses were end of shot-clock heaves; one of them was by his own doing, dribbling around too long without going anywhere, but another someone kicked the ball back out to him as the clock was winding down.

I think that's how the season is probably going to go for him, with ups-and-downs, but the highs will be pretty good and look very promising. But it'll essentially be his rookie year, so Thunder fans need to be patient with him, because there's going to be some struggles and some ugly stretches of games.

The plus side from a team perspective is that Martin was up and down all last year too and lamb is going to play at LEAST as good defensively. It won't be as significant of a drop-off from Martin as the final stats would make it seem I bet.

Nailed it. but I definitely think he is going to pan out and be a starting caliber SG in the league one day. maybe even an allstar. kids got talent.
