Jeremy Lamb has emerged as a serious candidate for the Indiana Pacers, reports Marc Stein of the New York Times.
Lamb, who averaged career-highs in points (15.3), rebounds (5.5), steals (1.1), free throw rate (.266), and made 3-pointers (330) as Charlotte’s second-leading scorer behind Kemba Walker, could start in place of Victor Oladipo and then transition to leading the bench once the two-time All-Star returns.
“I’ve always wanted to be a starter in the NBA, but I think playing is more important,” Lamb said during exit interviews.
