PuzzBeterson 1,089 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 More than before, but Lamb is probably the real winner here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willthethrill 37 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Don’t trust lamb. Monk will get the starting gig sooner than later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adlgx21 0 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 With Batum out, Monk will have an even bigger opportunity to start. Although Jeremy Lamb is expected to start at SG, I'm still not sold on his production in the preseason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ComeOnAndSlam 526 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Isn't Clifford the type of coach that's really reluctant to lean heavily on rookies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buddyyddub 5 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 At this time, Lamb > Monk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n.mollov 40 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I’m biased because I have monk in dynasty but... ‘’right now lamb starts however other than Kemba there are no above average 3 point shooters in that line up. Marvin hit 35% last year which is about his career average, Howard and mkg are 0s beyond the line and lamb? - 32%, and actually especially bad the last two years. His defensive rating was 108 which is pretty bad. No idea what monk is right now, and probably he is pretty bad on defensive but if lamb starts this team will struggle to score, and as good as they are defensively that putrid offense is just not enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trench Mob 1,691 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I always liked this guys game from Kentucky. He should be a nice weapon off the bench. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaliBlazer 44 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 He looks legit. Can score at will. Great stroke on his shot. He is pretty much the Hornets 2nd best playmaker behind Kemba and top 3 perimeter scorer. He took 20 shots tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiiiggz 678 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 32 minutes tonight off the bench. 21/6/3 4/10 from 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trench Mob 1,691 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Eh. Lamb is still the better option. Kidd Gilchrist didn't play either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gorgeous George 424 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I think as good as monk is he'll probably shoot them out of games as much if not more than help them win this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

12345game10 178 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Is he must own in a punt FG% build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philzilla 170 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Lamb has had his chances. He's not a long term solution for any team at this point. They have every incentive to letting Monk play big minutes. Since either player would be a dice roll in a 12 team league, I'd rather go with Monk. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Code of Hammurabi 4,375 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 This dude, even with his likely inefficiency, looks NBA ready right now. I'm thinking he's got a real shot to see mins in the mid 20s and grow from there. I'm excited about his long term prospects in Dynasty formats Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n.mollov 40 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Forget the points - we all knew he could score. Loving the boards assists and especially the super low TOs and great +/-, this guy will be good, starting or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have every incentive to letting Monk play big minutes. Since either player would be a dice roll in a 12 team league, I'd rather go with Monk. I disagree with this. 'Has had his chances' is really vague and lacks context; general statement. He's had a few wasted years on OKC playing behind extreme depth, Brooks was never going to play rookies. The last two years on Charlotte he was actually VERY productive. Last season he had a 17 PER as a 24 year old bench guy. He posted very nice stats both as a reserve and as a starter (15 ppg in 5 games). Sometimes I think guys get caught up in the dude they like or picked up and try to bias their pick into being in a better situation season-long than they actually are. Try to be objective.. I own Lamb, and I can tell you that the reality is this: Lamb is older/more experienced, has shot the ball very well in Charlotte, Clifford likes his vets (look how much he got out of guys like Belinelli and Marvin), Clifford has sang Lamb's praises this offseason and how hard he's worked and how good he's looked on both ends (even in preseason he said he's been unreal for them), and already said he'll be starting. Despite all that, neither guy is appealing once Batum returns, and that's the real objective thought here. They'll both have short-term value, Monk as a points/3's gunner who will lack statistical diversity, and Lamb as a %'s / points / rebounds guy who sprinkles in a bit of steals / blocks / assists / low turnovers. I get the general consensus behind your post, you also think Monk is a highly prized rookie and they have to invest in him, but this isn't a tanking team - he'll fall inline. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jorgo 66 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Yeah totally agree with lifschitz here. Lamb is by far the better pick up if you were deciding between the two, although that decision has long passed in any competitive league. But going back to Monk. He's a flat out scorer with surprisingly good shot selection, and any of the other stats he gets is more a byproduct of him being on the court extended minutes imo. At least that's what I've noticed from the patches I've watched of him preseason since I grabbed him. So pick him up for the scoring and 3s but little else and hope his FG% isn't a category killer.

alex40214 16 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Lamb's 3pt% : 14-15: .342 15-16: .309 16-17: .279 He shot 3/8 in three preseason games, small samples. With Batum's injury, and MKG / Howard on court, the spacing would be real bad if no improvement shown on his 3pt%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
