lamb playing well in nba summer league

[Gurleyman]

Really nice all-around game. He finished with 19 points on 8-13 shooting, 10 assists and maybe 2 or 3 turnovers. Once he just randomly dribbled off his foot while standing near midcourt. First half he shot more - second half he really looked to set people up and had some nice assists.

The grain of salt is that Denver's summer league team was kinda ordinary, especially after Kenneth Faried had stitches early and sat out the rest.

Kemba played great in the game I just got done watching. He had 19 points, 10 assists, and probably many more hockey assists. I'll tell you, the one thing that kid has going for him is his quickness - nobody can stay in front of him, and that's a huge asset to an NBA team. Right now it's just a matter of using his quickness, but also staying under control.

I came away thinking Kemba could do some good things next year. With his quickness he should be able to get into the paint at will against pretty much everybody, which will collapse the defense and allow him to rack up the assists. Scoring wise, that little floater in the lane is the one shot he absolutely has to master. He used it a little at UConn, but in the NBA he's just not tall enough to finish consistently at the rim. Defensively he created havoc all night, compiling two steals and indirectly leading to other turnovers. Kemba's always been better defensively than people on this message board have given him credit for. He rarely gets beat off the dribble because he has exceptional latteral quickness.

Going forward Kemba would probably be better served to pass first and shoot second, at least until his jump shot begins to click. I think he has the talent of a top 15 PG, he just needs to put it together. Worst case scenario I don't see why he can't be a poor man's Ty Lawson. He's maybe not quite as quick, but it's close.

Well, Lawson has the 3-pointer going for him.

I still can't get over the dominance of Kemba's season. Some points that stick out to me; game-winner against Pitt (obviously) and dropping 29 against Wichita State in the 2nd half. That win kick-started the unbelievable season. Kemba's proven that if he's given the reins, he can be a fantastic leader, despite his small stature. I hope the Bobcats make him the permanent starting PG this year.

In my opinion Lamb is more well suited for NBA than he is for NCAA.
