Lamb's Disappearing Act

[Stinger92860]

If you watch the games even Giffey moves around more than Lamb. Easier to do when you play less minutes I know, but damn come on Jeremy!

He is certainly not the reason we lost, but if he's on point then we win.

Boat, Roscoe and Tyler a combined 4 for 20. That's tough to overcome. However, we are talking about 2 sophomores and a freshman. All will be back for 2/3 more years.

Problem with Lamb is illustrated by the fact that he regularly disappears. Against Syracuse he didn't score in the last 18 minutes. And who takes the shots withthe game on the line? Look at the West Virginia game...same thing. he scores a bunch of points but he isn't doing it with the game on the line. If he were playing for George Steinbrenner he's be a classic Mr. May. He may well have a good pro career. But I really don't think its saying too much to say he has been extremely disappointing this season.

The thing that really bugs me about Shabazz is that he settles for the deep jumper too early. Lamb's not moving? Fine. The second option, particularly vs. the zone, needs to be an attempt at dribble penetration.

One thing I noticed in yesterday's game was that our lack of size at the guard position seemed to put us at a disadvantage. When Boatright or Shabazz penetrated, they had a tough time getting the ball to the glass. Of course lack of size was never an issue with Kemba.
