Connecticut shooting guard Jeremy Lamb said he didn’t shoot the ball well during Monday’s workout. For the Huskies this past season, Lamb averaged 17.7 points and was a 33.6 percent 3-point shooter. “I had a tough shooting day, but I believe they know I can play with anybody,” Lamb said. “I think I played hard and showed that I could do some things. Some days you’re going to hit shots; some days you’re not. Those you don’t, you just have to find ways to do other things.” New Orleans Times-Picayune

Natural shooters with athleticism who hit the glass, defend and have a high hoops IQ are hard to come by, making Beal a possible top five pick.

Connecticut sophomore guard Jeremy Lamb has declared for the NBA draft. The 19-year-old from Norcross, Ga. led the Huskies in scoring last season at 17.7 points per game, and was a key part of the team that won the NCAA championship in 2011. Lamb said in a statement released Tuesday by UConn that it was a difficult decision to go professional but it is in the best interest of his family. ESPN.com

Calhoun said he, Jeremy Lamb, and Lamb's father, Rolando, spoke on Friday about Lamb's decision regarding the NBA draft. "They're about ready to make a decision," Calhoun said. Insiders believe it's only a matter of time before Lamb declares he is leaving. Calhoun has also spoken often with center Andre Drummond, also a potential NBA lottery pick, and envisions a decision sometime next week. Drummond, who just finished his freshman season, has said he is "weighing out his options." Players must declare by Tuesday if they are staying in school, but can opt to enter the draft as late as April 29. Hartford Courant

SG Jeremy Lamb remains more likely than freshman C Andre Drummond to declare for the NBA Draft. Lamb considered the draft last offseason and came back to lead the Huskies in scoring at 17.7 ppg. Lamb is considered a potential top 10 pick and is regarded as one of the top two SG prospects potentially in the draft. CBSSports.com

UConn officials are waiting to see if they will win a waiver to be eligible for the 2013 NCAA tournament. But sophomore Jeremy Lamb and freshman Andre Drummond probably will make up their minds before a decision is rendered. Nothing is official, but a source with knowledge said the UConn coaching staff expects Lamb to declare and stay in the NBA draft since he’s a likely lottery pick. Drummond might not bolt, though. The source said the staff isn’t so sure Drummond will leave even if the Huskies can’t play in the NCAA tournament. The reason is that Drummond may see the need to continue to improve his game in college to be better prepared for the transition. ESPN.com

Either way, when North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes, Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger, Kentucky’s Terrence Jones, Connecticut’s Jeremy Lamb and Baylor’s Perry Jones chose to spend their sophomore years on campus – and join other potential one-and-done candidates such as Connecticut’s Andre Drummond, Kentucky’s Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Florida’s Bradley Beal and Baylor’s Quincy Miller – it created a situation in which teams on the back end of the lottery could still pluck quality talent. That is, of course, if all of those players declare for the draft. “It’s a good year to be in the lottery because it’s one of the safer lotteries,” the scouting director said. “If you have a pick around the top 14 or 15, you might get a top five or top seven talent, just because of the amount of guys who went back. Some people make the argument that some of those guys might’ve contended for one. You’re going to get a higher quality player in whatever range you’re picking in the first round than you normally would.” Washington Post

5. Tu Holloway, Xavier – Too high for one of the 5 best players in the history of the Atlantic-10? Nope. 4. Jeremy Lamb, Connecticut – Is this too high for a quiet kid who won’t have Kemba Walker around anymore and will have to become the team’s leader? Nope. 3. Terrence Jones, Kentucky – Inconsistent as a freshman (who isn’t?), but I’d say he’s the most talented player on Kentucky’s loaded roster (right now). 2. Harrison Barnes, North Carolina – Inconsistent as a freshman (who isn’t?), but enjoy him while you can before he’s a top 3 pick in the 2012 NBA draft. 1. Jared Sullinger, Ohio State – I’m just glad he stuck around for his sophomore year. Stay all four, like Hansbrough did! The Big Lead

If you need some inspiration, look no further than UConn freshman sensation Jeremy Lamb, who will play in Monday night’s NCAA national championship basketball game. There is speculation that Lamb may be a “one-and-done” college player and declare for the NBA Draft. Lamb did nothing to dispel the notion when asked it by reporters on Sunday. “I’m not paying any attention to that right now. I’m in college at the NCAA tournament about to play for a national title … I’ll think about that later.” Atlanta Journal-Constitution
