NBA Summerleague J.Lamb vs D.Waiters

     One of the strengths and most debated positions of the 2012 NBA Draft was the SG position.  From Bradley Beal, Dion Waiters, Terrance Ross, Austin Rivers, and Jeremy Lamb this was a position of dept in this years Draft.  In watching these players play in this years summer-league I can't help but wonder if Cleveland overvalued Dion Waiters and undervalued Jeremy Lamb.  The Cavs wanted Bradley Beal but when the Wizards took Beal with the 3rd pick the Cavs took Dion Waiters.  First of all let me say nobody was higher on Waiters in this years draft than me.  But in watching the games this summer I can't help but think Jeremy Lamb would have been a much better fit with Cleveland than Waiters.  Waiters is a great scorer and one on one player, but his skill set requires him having the ball to score and create, plus he's not a knock down shooter but more of a streak shooter. And he's not a good 3pt shooter.  This doesn't mesh with what Cleveland needs.  Jeremy Lamb is a knock down shooter.  He movies well without the ball and shoots very well off screens (a la Rip Hamilton).  He also is a good 3pt shooter and a great wide open jump shooter.  Kyrie Irving (NBA Rookie of the year) is a superstar in the making.  He will dominate the ball for Cleveland.  He is a crafty guard with an uncanny ability to get into the lane off penetration and create shots for teammates.  Lamb would benefit from this much more so than Waiters.  Lamb's 3pt ability would also stretch the floor and create more penetration space for Irving that Waiters.  Lamb is also bigger at 6'5" with a 6'11'' Wingspan as compare to Waiters 6'4" w/ 6'7" Wingspan.  Now Irving and Waiters could workout to become a superstar backcourt in the future one never knows.  But this is just my assessment of two guards that stock when in totally different directions prior to this years draft.  Waiters stock when thru the roof when he pulled out of the pre-draft camp at Chicago and Lamb's stock continued to fall.  Let's be real the only reason Lamb stock dropped was when GM's wanted to create something not to like about the kid and started to question his "motor" or passion for the game.  His motor looked pretty good to me when he helped take UConn on that Championship run in 2011.  I think this is just some convoluted crap GM's created b/c Lamb has a deceptive silky smooth game and isn't a guy who wears his emotions on his sleeve (a la Kevin Garnett).   I hate it when GM use reasons like this and not anything to do with the players skills on the court as reasons to question drafting a player.  With the skill set Lamb has been showing in Summer-league and the things he proved he could do at UConn he could very well be one of the steals of the 2012 NBA Draft.
