Ahead of the 2015-16 season, the Charlotte Hornets acquired Jeremy Lamb from the Oklahoma City Thunder in return for backup point guard Luke Ridnour and a second-round pick. The move would serve Charlotte well, as the UConn alum became a staple in their rotation for the next four seasons.
Lamb’s strongest season by far came during the 2018-19 campaign, where he averaged 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks in 28.5 minutes per game. That season, he also knocked down one of the most iconic and improbable game-winning shots in NBA history. The following offseason, Lamb signed a three-year deal with the Indiana Pacers and was eventually traded to the Sacramento Kings in the deal that brought Tyrese Haliburton to Indiana.
