Jeremy Lamb- he is solid, but I still like Rivers better


Wut?

6'7 wing player that can shoot and put the ball on the deck, in addition to have tremendous potential on the defensive end. But you'd rather Austin Rivers?

Rivers- 6 ft 4 PG with a killer crossover, decent court vision, can shoot the 3 (kinda), plays very solid defense, and has a tremendous work ethic and wants to be in NOLA

Not saying that I would take Rivers over Lamb because I see them as very different players.

Not sure where you got that Lamb is 6'7 and not sure why that height matters much since Rivers is only 0.25 inches shorter than him and then Rivers has 15 lbs on Lamb. The only real difference is Lamb's reach is a few inches longer.

Also, It isn't like Lamb has been lights out impressive as a shooter. He is shooting 43% from the field and 35% from 3. There is no doubt that Rivers is better at putting the ball on the deck than Lamb. Rivers also is no scrub on defense.
