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.
