Jeremy Lamb: Draft Profile

 After leading his team to an NCAA Championship last year, Kemba Walker, guard for Uconn entered the NBA. Once he left everyone on the team knew that they would have to step up if they wanted to be a contending team. Thier was one person who had to step up the most, Jeremy Lamb, fellow guard of Kemba Walker in the 2010-2011 season. Lamb did answer the call by averaging 17.7 points and 5 rebounds per game. He had 10 games with at least 20 points including the first game against Columbia where he dropped 30 and his game against Villanova where he droped 32 points. Uconn was not one of the Elite teams in the nation this year but they were able to make the tournament. They played against the best Iowa team there is, Iowa State. Uconn ended up on the losing side of the game by a score of 77-64. Lamb had a solid effort with 19 points and 4 rebounds but no one else on the team stepped up and one player can not bring you through the tournament. He is projected to go 6th pick in the draft to the Toronto Raptors. If you read my profile about Bradley Beal you will find out that I have him going to the Raptors in the early first round. So I pretty much flip- flopped the two so I have Jeremy Lamb heading out to Portland. As I said in my earlier entries that Portland does not have any guards and could use a new prospect. He has a lot of upside to him and that is exactly what the Portland Trail Blazers need coming thier way.
