Jeremy Lamb played so well during the first half of the season that he got benched. Read that sentence, again. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present your 2018-2019 Charlotte Hornets.
The drop in performance of the team when the bench took the court led Coach James Borrego to reassign the seven season vet and make him the leader of the second unit. This allowed rookie, Miles Bridges to bring energy into the starting unit and bring Lamb’s leadership to an otherwise lost bench.
Despite that demotion, Jeremy started a career record 55 games, and that is not the only career record he set.
