    Roy looked like he was laid back and was even called lazy by a couple coaches (I believe Romar), but then they realized that was just his game.

    I think it worked out OK for him.

    As far as Lamb

    His role greatly increased in his sophomore season. Not only was he asked to carry the team essentially, but he averaged 37min a game doing so. Hard not to wear out doing that.

    His efficiency was still off the charts, though. Shot 60% on 2pt shots.

    I agree, but my point is that in Lamb's case he does have a rep for being kind of "disengaged." No biggie, I'd still draft him at 11 if he's still on the board; he's a talent.

    Lamb crumbles when he gets defensive pressure. I'm just not a fan.

    Beal and Williams have eerily similar college careers.

    Both good defenders and both great athletes and a little undersized for there NBA positions. Beal doesn't have any big holes in his game like Elliot did coming out and of course didn't need MF surgery off the bat. But the fact they are both very similar sours me on Beal a bit even with Williams injury history. I'd rather trade away our pick instead of drafting him or take a different player. We won't be in the running for him anyhow.
