2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jeremy Lamb


Position: Shooting Guard

Size: 6-5, 180

School: UConn, Sophomore


Strengths:
  • Three-point shooter
  • Catch-and-shoot ability
  • Quick release
  • Pull-up jumper
  • Mid-range game
  • Moving away from the ball; using screens to get open
  • Using pump fakes to create space
  • Handles the ball well
  • Terrific in the open floor
  • Leaping ability
  • Athleticism
  • Length
  • Rebounds well for his position



    Weaknesses:
  • Strength
  • Lacks killer instinct, leadership
  • Can mentally check out when his shot isn’t falling
  • Staying in front of his opponent while defending
  • Defensive effort
  • Toughness

    Summary: Though streaky and inconsistent at times, Lamb will likely be the first shooting guard to come off the board on draft night. He possesses a capabale all-around offensive attack and is a gifted athlete with terrific length. Lamb should fall somewhere in the mid-late lottery depending on team needs.

    Player Comparison: Kevin Martin. A slender, lengthy wing, Martin can score in a variety of ways. Lamb’s strength is his smooth, effortless looking outside shot, but he also has the athleticism to get to the basket like Martin.
