Jeremy Lamb Retires

[aceboon]

Lamb & Kemba in the same offseason, the left knee injury he suffered in his first year with the Pacers when his leg got folded up really limited him, I remember watching him his last year with the Kings and you could literally see him dragging his leg and not moving well

What a find by JC!

Loved his game and style. Injuries hurt him when he should have been at his prime. Congrats on a wonderful career.

Kevin Nathan's interview with Roscoe and Jeremy during the run-up to their title remains one of my favorite UConn media segments ever. Would love it if someone could dig that out.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

One of the smoothest players in UConn Basketball history.

Wish him nothing but the best in his next chapter in life!

 

[Magic32]

He was so fun to watch, smooth. Hope he enjoys retirement.

One Georgia native UConn alum leaves the NBA, one joins. Circle of life

Good player. Thought he would be better but injuries and such. Still was a solid contributor.

 

[WrenchFan69]

10 years, $65mil ain't too bad. Felt like there might have been more heading into that Pacers contract but can't be too upset with what he accomplished and made in his career

 

[Chosen]

Good luck on your retirement Jeremy. Thanks for the national championship and the memories.

I’ve got a friend who was more of a Kentucky and St John’s fan. We watched just about every game together of that season, and Lamb was his favorite Husky.

One of my favorite UConn players of all time. Hope he's around the program moving forward.

Some time during Jeremy Lamb's first semester, I texted to my sister that I didn't see much to commend in his game. How wrong I was! Look no further for why I stay away from predicting success or failure during preseason or before the new year.

 

[Coach J]

He'd be a great addition to The Stars of Storrs if his body could handle it.

Not many did. Calhoun and Kemba kind of had to force it out of him. He was super timid when he first got here. But the talent was always there.

As a late bloomer it was just about people putting the confidence in him and then he took it from there.

Be really interesting to rank him among two-year or fewer players all-time at UConn have to think he'd be top 10, but would he make top 5?

I don't think we've had many 2 years or less players. Rudy Gay, Andre Drummond, Lamb, Jordan Hawkins, Stephon Castle, Donovan Clingan.... Those off the top of my head but I'm sure I missed a few. Who were the others? Do we count transfers like Tristen Newton, Cam Spencer, etc.? Add in a few more that I missed and that's it.

Caron and Nadav would both be near the top of the list.

Can't believe I forgot Caron!

What a find by JC!

My favorite lamb. Replaced Shari Lewis’ Lamb Chop as my favorite.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Caron and Nadav would both be near the top of the list.

Could throw Charlie on the list too.

My list would go:

Caron
Clingan
Rudy
Lamb
Hawkins
Charlie
Castle
Drummond
Hamilton

Didn’t watch Nadav so I have no idea where he should go on this list.

We actually got the best Lamb.
