    That "discussion" with brainiac had to do with him saying Lamb was taller than the players he was going against, when what he was really trying to say was length. I pointed it out to him and he's been trolling me since.

    That's what that was.

    As for Lamb, I know it's only the D League, and guys like Babbitt put up good numbers there, but his last three games have been ridiculous

    33/8/3
    30/9/8
    30/8/2

    Shooting
    66% from the field
    59% from 3pt
    93% from FT

    Consistent PT in the NBA, and this kid has a chance to be a very good player

    At the draft I put Lamb slightly ahead of Leonard, but in the same 'tier'. Looking at need, questions about Lamb's effort or desire or intensity or whatever you want to call it, and questions about Lamb's questionable mental makeup and intelligence after his interviews, I was firmly in the Meyers Leonard camp. Although many of my conerns with Lamb have kind of dissipated (for no real reason other than time) I'm still happy we have Meyers and I expect good things from him in the future. Of course, that's just my opinion. I don't have any fancy logarithms to back it up. :)

    I'd love it if we could trade for Lamb since they don't seem to have any need for him.

    Agreed. I'm not concerned about his offensive production - all he needs to do is protect the paint and rebound. If he can do that then I don't care if he only averages 4ppg. Well, at some point I'll care - but I think we've all seen that he can average more than 4ppg, so it's really not a concern.

    Me too. I don't watch NCAA, but based off of youtube videos (groan) he appeared to be the only SG with any star potential.
    But I don't give a hoot about perceived intelligence via media interviews - so many players sound borderline retarded.

    You'd think if OKC were that high on Lamb that they would give him a couple of Thabo's minutes. Its not like Sefolosha and Martin are the type of talents that would prevent a diamond in the rough type talent to stay glued to the bench.

    Lamb has been doing so many great things this year to make me regret that the Blazers didn't take him....

    Might not be a diamond at all, but I was just stating who I would have taken over Leonard
