Highlights

Despite some inconsistencies in his game, Jeremy Lamb definitely showed the NBA flashes of his potential at various moments throughout the season.

On Dec. 20, the Charlotte Hornets were taking on one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors. Lamb would come up huge in this game, providing the Hornets with a career-high 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting from the field and 2-of-2 shooting from 3.

The downside to this game was that Lamb’s 32-point performance was nowhere close to enough to beat the Raptors. The Hornets still got blown out 129-111. Lamb was the real winner that night, however, showing NBA teams what he’s capable of.

That was Lamb’s best game of the season, but he also made some incredible plays during other games. For example, he dunked all over the Chicago Bulls with this memorable slam:

Lamb also found a unique way to score in the paint using his left hand on this nifty play:

If you were to only look at his highlights, you’d think Lamb was an NBA superstar. He has that talent in him somewhere — it just doesn’t come out very often.
