Jeremy Lamb

[superjohn]

Could you please act like you care a little bit out there. I know he is a sleepy looking guy and doesn't show much emotion but he really seems disinterested most of the time. People are always saying he needs more touches and shots but you don't get touches when you just loaf around, he never runs hard off of picks and generally just stands around, when it comes to the other side of the court things get much worse, he is clearly our worst defender.

His head is already in the NBA Draft.

When you look at the effort he put into running off the two screens for the back to back hoops against Zona in the Elite 8 to how he moves out there now its like night and day. I haven't seen Jeremy move that hard to get free all year. The bigs do play a part in it with their poor screening, but he makes very little effort to try to get free

Not if he plays like this. Someone should tell him that he is costing himself money. The League doesn't take kindly to passivity.

That might be the only thing that could wake him up.

 

[superjohn]

It's very disappointing because he is a great talent, I really thought he would be like Ray and Rip here, the difference is Ray and Rip always wanted it.

 

[Kitaman]

And he's our best player, so what does that say about the team's motivational leadership? As good as he is, unfortunately he's not someone teammates can feed off of, due to his emotional-less personality. I've never seen him angry, overly excited, throw an elbow, personally challenge another player (or teammate for that matter), scream or holler. He is who he is.

 

[Adios]

A complimentary player, at best.

 

[Giddyup5]

I thought he'd follow in the lines of Ray and Rip as well.

Bottom line, facts are pretty clear. He is no way near the players they were for a combination of reasons. Toughness, bball IQ, handle, movement off the ball, defense.

I will always remember how good Jeremy was in the tourney last year, but this year he really looks like it doesn't matter that much to him. His all around game is lacking passion and intensity. He looks like he is going to fall asleep while standing up sometimes.

His personality is the same, but the way he is competing is not.

 

[Palatine]

Please, they said the same things about Eli Manning. Lamb's personality has always been exactly the same. The real losers are the posters who are dumping on this kid.

A loser with more national championship rings than you.

How can someone that was a major part in the NC run and has a Championship ring (that he earned) be a loser? What does that make the rest of us, and even worse, you for posting something like this?

Seriously how can this kid think he is possibly ready for the NBA. He cannot guard a chair, players from Providence go off against him. He has no frame and no strength, no way he will come off picks in the NBA. Suspect jump shot at best with an even farther 3 point line and longer stronger defenders in the NBA he wont score. This kid will get drafted and fade into nothing. He needs at least another year, he could really hurt himself finincially by leaving early his stock keeps dropping and some sites have him going second round now. I'd laugh at you if you can honestly tell me he will be successful in the NBA, no way he develops in the league.

Can you show me a respected site that has him in the second round? Every site I've looked at has him in the lottery.

Not his best game today, but were you saying that after his 32 points a week ago?

The play where Lamb didn't hustle going after Boatright's slightly overthrown ball causing a turnover tells me everything I need to know about Lamb's performance today.

I think it's so interesting how so many posters read "lazy" and "uninterested" into such simple things as "misjudging the path of the ball and losing it."

Please, he was loafing it down court. Where did he lose it? In the lights? Or did the wind take it?

Even the announcers commented on how if he actually hustled, he probably gets it on the fly.

 

[kansashusky]

He had 32 in an overtime win against Villanova with their best guard hurt.... not saying this kid cant be special but he wont get a chance to develop in the league he will sit at the end of a bench and get man handled by grown men. What is his average ppg in Big East play just curious?

That's fine if we get to judge you off the worst ten secords of your life.

Lamb took his eye off the ball, lets electrocute him.

I didn't realize you never misjudged a pass. He was on a fast break and the ball was lofted over a defender. Kids make mistakes--it doesn't always speak to some deeper core failing.

The kid isn't lazy. All these kids work their asses off.

Sadly, right now they don't seem to have focus.

Well now you know.

It looked like a sloppy play, simple as that. He was jogging, and he decided to let the ball bounce, rather than sprinting and catching it out of the air. Perhaps it was "misjudged," as you say, but, really, if he had just sprinted after 'n thing, it would have required no judgment.

There is something wrong with our fanbase if this is how we treat a guy who was such an integral part of a magical run last spring.
