Raptors NBA Draft Thread: Jeremy Lamb (HOU)

[highness]

You want to get with Rudy too and make it a threesome??

Reported. Very uncalled for.

Cmon BP, stop cyberbully highness, he's just a kid

Btw, highness you do know Gay/Demar isn't gonna end well for Demar right? Demar is ineffective if he doesn't get touches. Having Gay as primary/2nd option will warrant himself alot of go-to-guy touches/shot attempts but that will also limit Demar's touches for sure. You want that to happen to your boy?

LOL does me being a DD fan bother you that much? Almost all your responses to me is Demar this, Demar that. I get it, you don't like him. It's all good I don't care. I'm here trying to talk about Lamb.

Of course the response is always Demarr this, Demarr that. That's either what he is responding too or what your going to lead the conversation to anyways.

It's true that we are looking for shooters but wouldn't it be better to have a prospect that is a good shooter and has a high motor as well. We've seen even in these playoffs how big it is to have mental toughness and character. There's a reason why I'm not big on guys like PJ3 or Lamb, they're skilled but when push comes to shove they don't push back. It's one of the reasons why mental makeup is the biggest thing I look for in a prospect.

How come his motor was a non issue in his freshman year, then? This is why I don't have concerns with how hard he plays because he's proven on the biggest stage in college ball that he can play. At the end of the day, talent is still talent, and I'm taking my chances on with Jeremy Lamb. If the Raptors have a chance to draft a prospect that potentially has top 10 SG potential considering how depleted this position will become in 2 or 3 years with Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Dwyane Wade, and Joe Johnson on a steep decline, you take Lamb and run. There are plenty of guys who came into the league shy and humble like Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant, so I'm not sure what's the problem.

his team was actually good and the focus wasn't entirely on him, so it was less apparent? kemba was there and they played well off of each other

What the hell? Still, his motor wasn't an issue.

he's a good player, but he's no allstar. after his freshman year, expectations are significantly higher...

We would be best friends in real life.

Psych, you have no friends. You were probally that kid in elementary school the teacher would say STFU to because you tattled so much.

Lamb's loosing stock in my books. Was never a hug fan and his interviews/measurements haven't been on par with the hype on this board. Remember the Beal Vs Lamb thread?? Lol, only time will expose how stupid that was people would want Lamb over Beal.

I agree Lamb isn't an All-Star, but it's still premature to say it with confidence. Rather, my issue lies with how people are overblowing his lack of a motor.

You do know Lamb will have everything to do with Demar if he's being drafted by the raptors right? Both will have competition, both will be fighting for the SG starting role and both will be heavily compared. So everything will have to do w/ Demar especially talking about SG prospects, its good to compare them both on all aspects, cos Lamb will pretty sure take over Demar's SG starting role if he's in the lineup, its bound to happen if he's a raptors.

Geez, Lamb is a serious kush head. Now i'm not knocking him for what he is saying through his interviews, just going by his general demeanor.

His interview skills reminds me so much of Michael Beasley's interviews. It's that slow speaking, cloudy and droopy eyes and they can never remember squat. Heck i'm sure many of you know guys just like that.

I think he'll be an offensive juggernaut just like Beasley, but he'll also have a ton of baggage.

I say this kid has some serious red flags.

Except Beasley has alot of off-court issue while Lamb is a good kid that works hard. I don't let an interview to judge on character, or let it dictates his game or work ethic. Some people just suck at interviews, I'm pretty sure alot of y'all stumble in at least one of your job interviews. Besides, that interview is funny but he's just nervous as hell as you can tell, often times u get too nervous it makes your mind goes blank. It happens.

That's just one issue. There's also his complete lack of ability to get to the line or usefully pass the ball. I do really dislike his demeanor, bath on and off court, but that's not his only flaw.

He's a shooter first slasher second also hard to pass the ball when the PGs you're playing
with are Kemba Walker and Shabazz Napier.

I find it weird people lately seem to attempt to tie the mental issue to confidence issue, cos from what I see on the court, Lamb's extremely confident in his skillset

I think his lack of ability to get to the line is related to his demeanor, and passing is kinda hard to evaluate because the whole UCONN offense was just a huge mess

[Fenris-77]

I'll cut him some slack for the hot mess that was UConn's offense, but that line of reasoning only gets you so far. He still suffers from tunnel vision beyond that and his decision making looks decidedly suspect as a result. It also doesn't explain his wild phobia of contact, which won't play well at all at the NBA level.

[Undefeated]

Considering Lamb attempted 4 FTAs, it's not that bad when you factor in the two ball hogs he played with for almost 25+ minutes. And I've said this before, Lamb averaged 3 apg in the 9 games when Ryan Boatright was suspended. It's inevitable that with his shooting prowess in the pick-and-roll, it'll lead to some good passes to the roll-man over the top when the guys are crowding him. At least, that's what I saw in his first 10 games this year.

[Fenris-77]

I think his lack of ability to get to the line is related to his demeanor,

I don't care if he doesn't get to the line because the moon is in Venus, it's a serious issue for a propesct a lottery as stacked as this one. Mostly because it drastically lowers his ceiling as an NBA scorer.
