I have no idea what Fredericklove is arguing about. He makes absolutely no sense.

All i did was to tell him his definition of "motor" was inaccurate. Then he decides to attack me. So i presented my argument. And he replied with delusional garbage.

Sorry you had to deal with the Lambulance. fredricklove protects Jeremy Lamb like he's some secret service agent.



Exactly. :lol: He's become the highness of this board. Every time a lamb topic comes up, we all roll our eyes... :roll:

Ha, look at the ranting/insulting reply again :lol: , I guess I will have to get used to you ranting, taunting and insulting me cos that's pretty much the only thing you can do to me, it gives you that verbal/emotional advantage over someone that's reluctant to use names calling technique, I'm surprised mods aren't doing anything about the jacka$s, r3tarded kid or you're a joke/delusional garbage replies. SMH :nonono: I guess it's definitely my fault, try to be a teacher to a student but ends up getting taunted at by the student :dontknow:



I guess they haven't done anything cos they might feel the same way, just guessing... :lol:

Well, highness has class and keeps his cool even under the most extreme pressured situation. I give him credit for that. You on the other hand, umm....I don't know, let's try something different this time. Lamb's facial appearance comparison, do you think he's the least good looking guy in the draft? If so, explain.

Btw...You should take your own advise and try to stay calm when responding to someone, then others won't feel the need to respond in such a manner.

Why not? You seem to have alot of time dealing w/ my argument about Lamb's motor issue so now you suddenly said you don't have the time to deal w/ me on other issues? Especially how his facial features give wrong signal to many people here, that lazy big eyes problem and unattractive facial movement. That's worth a discussion. And ohhh... I've seen many others in draft thread that handle it very well when they respond to my arguments. You are quite the rare one so far, my friend.

Yo you guys really need to chill the **** out man. Fred bro, you do have a propensity of baiting people into debates by calling them idiots in a round about way. You may not see it but I'm sure you don't mean any harm when you unconsciously do it.

Point being, everyone chill and eat a slab of Lamb to celebrate.

Question: Has Lamb worked out with any team since hurting himself in Toronto?

Some more Lamb in-game highlights:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR7hIV1x8Lg[/youtube]

Interesting scoring #s. Beal's season high was 22 pts. Lamb scored that much or more 9 times this season. Lamb scored 25 or more as many times as Beal, Barnes, Waiters combined. He was also more efficient than all of them (59 TS%). That's while playing "passively" with two ball dominant, scoring PGs. The guy just has the skills to score, and they translate very well to the NBA game (pull-up jumpers and handles to create his own shot, utilizes screens and has range to score well off the ball, floaters, athleticism and length to finish in lane though lacks strength right now).

This has probably been discussed a bunch in here, but 75 pages is a lot to look through ;)

Can anyone tell me about Lamb's passing game and court vision? His shot and handle look good, just curious about how he'd be at creating for others and finding them.

I don't think his passing game is relevant to his success. He is coming into the league as a two guard and he is a scorer. He would be our second option on offense so he has a green light to score.

That being said, he is not really a playmaker. He is like Kevin Martin or Rip Hamilton. Come off a screen and be ready to slash or hit a jumper. More of a scorer first with potential to be a good defender. He is not a passer, nor should he be with his natural scoring instincts.

We're drafting Waiters....the GSW smokescreen is done with news of Roy; they already have Klay but maybe they wanted a deal out of us or Philly (more likely). I know BC probably loves Lamb but Case n Ed are selling him on Waiters...if DW is there he will be a Raptor (or our tradebait...smh).

What makes you so sure?

I also think Casey is the big Lamb voice in the room he wants shooters and scorers.
Colangelo I believe is the Lillard guy in the room and it appears he hates UCONN players.
Stefanski is a tough call hard to get a read on him probably the Waiters guy in the room
which would make for an interesting dynamic in the war room.

Of course we're both speculating out of our asses lol

But Casey likes hardnosed players which out of the 3 describes Waiters...plus he's really not that bad of shooter. If I'm not mistaken his numbers are actually quite similar to Barnes. Stefanski is the old Philly connection but I really don't know enough about Ed to give a honest read but he doesn't strike me as liking soft players or being high on just talent which makes me think he likes Waiters combo of talent and grit....

I really think BC is the only guy wanting Lamb as Colangelo always gets hung up on potential and Lamb has the most. I could see him liking Lillard too because he's another shooter that BC loves but I think he's not quite as hot on him because of age....had DL been a freshman I think he would have been a lock for our pick. BC seems to be trying to listen to other's advice so I think things are leaning toward Waiters but Colangelo is fighting to sell the other 2 to Casey and Ed...and so far Lamb may be ahead due to age and defence...I think I need to stop speculating but really that's just what I would assume based on those guys personalities. Not to mention ALL of them speak highly of Waiters, whereas the rest is scattered.

Well the only reason I suspect Casey is the Lamb guy in the room is wasn't he on the Fan 590
last week and Sid & Tim asked him who he liked and Lamb was the first name out of
his mouth? Also him wanting scorers and shooters lines up with Lamb plus I seen an end of
the year interview recently again of his and he said work ethic and attitude is all nice but
he wants talent.

Colangelo pretty much named everybody in our range but Lamb in his interview after the
Combine where every Mock and people around the league have us linked to Lamb. He could
be smoke screening so you never know.

Watching that lottery special on NBATV. Chris Dortch quoted Calhoun as saying that Lamb would average 17-18 PPG in two years.
