The interview inevitably turned to the season ahead for the Thunder. While Durant acknowledged that a handful of already good Western Conference teams have only gotten better over the last few months, he chooses to focus primarily on himself and his teammates in his preseason work. Oklahoma City is in position to again contend for the title, but will likely lean on a relatively unproven player — second-year guard Jeremy Lamb — to help offset some of the scoring lost in the free-agent departure of Kevin Martin. Given that Lamb has played just 147 NBA minutes (many of which came in garbage time), Mannix turned to Durant for his take on Lamb’s developing game:
CM: Unless you’re an avid fan of the D-League, or are inside Thunder practices, people have no idea what Jeremy Lamb can do. Give me a scouting report on Jeremy Lamb.
KD: Smooth operator. He can shoot it really, really well. Athletic, can handle the ball, can play pick-and-roll, he can do just about everything, man. He can come off screens and shoot. He’s really good for our program. I’m excited for him, and he’s been working his tail off this summer. I know he’s going to come out and be ready to play.

I hope he's first off the bench or replaces thabo

I like that Durant refers to OKC as a "program," like it's a college. I think that says something about the mindset of that team.

JLamb's gonna have a good season. 8-10 ppg on 45% shooting, 40% from 3. Seventh man on a title contender.

Westbrook just had another surgery on his knee and will miss the first 4-6 weeks of the regular season, Lamb is going to have to really step up.

Rip might be washed and also is having a hard time turning into a vet role player

Lamb has proven to be a great complimentary player. Until he fully develops he can be the Lamb/Durant combo as effective as he was the Lamb/Kemba combo. He's young but has an outstanding opportunity to make a name for himself as Durant's partner.
