The Charlotte Hornets acquired Jeremy Lamb on June 25, 2015, in exchange for Luke Ridnour and a conditional second-round draft pick. The season prior to his acquisition, Lamb struggled to find much traction in Oklahoma City’s rotation. After being drafted with the 12th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, Lamb was only receiving 13.5 minutes per game and scoring a mere 6.3 points nightly.
From the time the acquisition was made to the offseason prior to the 2017-18 NBA season, Hornets fans were sold on Lamb’s untapped potential to become a premier scorer. After two seasons of being consistently mediocre off the bench, Lamb finally broke out this season.
