Rockets Player: Anthony Lamb, 6-foot-6 forward, 23 years old
Statistics in Houston: 5.5 points (39.0% FG, 32.4% on 3-pointers), 2.9 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game
Professional Experience: One NBA season
Contract Status: Signed to two-way deal, will be free agent
Over the final 11 games of Houston’s 2020-21 season, Lamb scored 14 or more points four times, including two games of more than 20 points. During that 11-game run, he shot 46.8% from the field and 38.3% on 3-pointers. While his overall efficiency numbers remain subpar, there was clear growth as his rookie season progressed. That could provide a reason to believe that Lamb’s earlier struggles were due to inexperience.
