2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jeremy Lamb

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

Weaknesses:
Strength

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.
