Easily one of the smoothest players I have ever seen. The way he makes everything appear so effortless just blows my mind.
 
D-Wade is a fan...

^^Not a bad guy to have as a fan. And hopefully will get us some more exposure to recruits

Through 1 season and 1 game Lamb's resume contains the following:
Big East Championship;
National Championship;
AP Pre Season First Team All American;
30 point game;
One of the best dunks ever by a Husky;

Just amazing so far...

Maui is something worth noting too.
 
publicity we are getting from that dunk on twitter/online is ridiculous...

hey,remember when people were disappointed we got "the other lamb" and not the heralded kid that went to ku?:p

true, if we can have lamb coming off screens for shots or have him in isos it will help us tremendously... it all really hinges on our bigs if they can get to where we need them... imagine drummond and ao together on the boards? sheesh

When the bigs start playing well other teams will have a few choices when Shabazz/Boat drive.

1) Hope their man can stick with Shabazz/Boat. Advantage UConn.
2) Rotate a big man for help D, giving AO/AD space. Advantage UConn.
3) Rotate the big man for help D, rotate the SF in to help on the big man, leaving Lamb open in the corner. Advantage UConn.

Pretty standard stuff obviously, but when you have talent all over the floor like this team does, it makes it a lot harder for the other team to exploit certain things. When Chuck was on the floor teams could try to dare UConn to feed him the ball. Don't get me wrong, I loved Chuck and he played a big part in our title run, but replace Chuck with a guy like AD and the offense can be a lot more consistent in terms of all 5 spots contributing, assuming AD refines his game throughout the year like his potential would indicate. Combine that with our top notch defense and there's only one thing you can say.

We are DOOOOOOOOOOOMED.

Lamb has only played 1 season and one game. I'd say he stacks up VERY favorably to any Husky given only 42 games. I really doubt Rip or Ray was better than Jeremy at the start of their second season. The kid is a very special player... already.

Ray was equal to Lamb. As a freshman Al McQuire on national TV predicted "this kid will be the best player in the country". Ray was a frosh. Lamb is actually the second coming of Ray.

Honestly, Jeremy reminds me a lot of a shorter version of Kevin Durant. And if he can be anything like Durant in the NBA, that'll be one hell of a player.

Wow I just said the same thing on a different thread five min ago and them came across this. He has a better handle and hes a little quicker. Obviously hes a lot shorter but the way they both know how to use those longgg arms. I honestly think Lamb will be the best player in the country this year and a future star in the NBA.
 
Never seen a player at uconn play with as much confidence as Shabazz. A lot of the shit he does no former player would ever think of doing with calhoun on the sidelines.

JL is a very good player. He can grow into the best player in the nation, but I don't think it will be this year. He needs to stay at least 3 years. He needs to become stronger and improve his handle. He had a super night, but that was Columbia, those kids played their hearts out, but they are at best 1 and 2 star players out of 5 star rating.

There's really no way he stays for a third season. He's pretty much locked into at least a top 10 pick and he flirted with going out after last season. Sure, he can stand to improve certain facets of his game, but other than his physical strength (which is already greatly improved from last year), he's close to NBA ready right now.

If you're expecting Jeremy Lamb to be back at Uconn next year, you're going to be very disappointed. I recommend coming to grips with it now.

Have you not noticed his new and improved handle? He already improved in that area considerably and it is now one of his strenghts. Did you not see that move at the end of the 1st half against Columbia???

I swear some of ya'll live in a bubble, how can anyone still question Lamb's handle?
