OT-Jeremy Lamb

[Letsgohuskies11]

Lamb looking good through 2 preseason games, leading scorers. They desperately need another scorer on the team besides Kemba. Batum has his moments. Not sure what the team chemistry is going to be like with Dwight Howard on the team but rooting for lamb.

Charlotte Hornets: Jeremy Lamb shines in preseason opener

This is a real "feel good" story for me
I know the kid has talent but sometimes people like JL, who are rather quiet and keep to themselves, don't carry a lot of enthusiasm into their game. I loved what he did at UConn and am happy he found a place with Kemba and the Hornets.

I remember the same thing at the start of last season. I hope he keeps it up - he's absolutely got the talent.

Lamb always has stretches where he plays well, the thing with him is consistency. Clifford went out of his way to praise him for his offseason work so hopefully he can finally put it together for a full season. It would also probably help if he got to handle the ball more because he's clearly much better operating off the dribble instead of spotting up because his 3 point shooting hasn't really got to where it should be.

Watched the highlights. Wow, does the NBA disrespect the second teamers or what? He got hit numerous times and no foul. Any star would be headed to the charity strip for the "and one."

That's why the NBA is a joke. Two sets of rules, one for stars, and another for the rest.

Amazing that he is only 25

 

[Bagel&Cheese]

The move from the left baseline and powering up for the layup just shows how stronger he has become. He showed he can score in many different ways. Good to see. Hope he can shoot close to 40% from 3 and he'll be in the league for a while.

Watches highlights of 1 preseason game and unravels the secrets of the NBA. Nice sleuthing.

He has looked impressive in the first two preseason games.

OT but Monk played well this last game. Hornets could use some quality minutes from him.

Tough for hornets but lamb given another opportunity.

That's horrible for Charlotte. Batum struggled from deep, but he was a strong 3-tool player in that offense ... could rebound, handle the ball and score in volume.

Bad news for Batum but possibly good news for Jeremy. I've heard everything from 6-8 weeks to season-ending. I like Nic but he's been pretty inconsistent for the Hornets when they needed him. Not that Jeremy is Mr. Consistency...

Yeah I don't want to "like" the news of Batum getting hurt -- I like him as a player a lot, very smooth -- but the first thing I thought of when I saw the news was that Lamb will get a real opportunity.
