Anthony Lamb has had a bit of weird season. He’s got two twenty-burgers under his belt, which has him tied for 11th place on the “rookie twenty point games” leaderboards (which isn’t a leaderboard that existed until I spoke it into existence just five seconds ago*). But he hasn’t had any other games scoring in double-digits. Other than those two big games, the scoring hasn’t been there.
Out of all the various G-Leaguers that the Rockets have given significant time to this season, Lamb seems like the one least likely to be a continued presence on NBA rosters. That sucks, but that’s how it is. If I’m wrong, I will happily fly to Houston and stand outside the Rockets arena with a sign that says “I was wrong about Anthony Lamb’s viability as an NBA player”, as long as somebody pays for my plane ticket and also lets me have a three-point shooting contest with John Wall. But I don’t think I’m wrong. I have something analogous to Spiderman’s “Spidey Sense” that I call my “Scrubby Sense”, and my Scrubby Sense has got my whole body tingling right now.
*Bonus DTB factoid: Anthony Edwards is dominating the Rookie Twenty Point Games leaderboard with 31 such games. Deni Avdija is bringing up the rear with one such game, which he had in his NBA debut, and I didn’t make a highlight video because I thought he’d improve on that mark at some point, but he hasn’t, and I’m so full of regret that I’ve lost my ability to write anything other than grotesque run-on sentences.
