News: With unrestricted free agent Beno Udrih not expected to be back next year, Magic guard Doron Lamb could be thrust into a larger role. Lamb spent 23 games with the Bucks last season before being traded to Orlando as part of the deal that sent J.J. Redick packing. He averaged 3.2 points and 1.2 assists on 39.7 percent shooting from the field in his 24 games with the Magic.
Analysis: Lamb has had some trouble adjusting to the NBA, but that is not unusual for younger players. While the 21-year-old will likely have a chance to compete for minutes as the team's backup shooting guard, there are some in Orlando who are hoping Lamb can develop into a point guard and possible replacement for Jameer Nelson down the road. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his development over the summer. However, he likely will only have value in deeper long-term keeper formats once again next year.
News: Magic guard Doron Lamb was finally able to get on the score sheet for his new team during Wednesday's contest against the Kings. Lamb, who had been shutout in his first two games with Orlando, finished with five points on 1 of 4 shooting from the field in the 125-101 defeat. He also added one rebound to his stat line.
Analysis: Lamb continues to play a minimal role with the Magic as the rookie has just 28 minutes over his first three games with the team. While the 21-year-old is super talented and has a ton of upside, he has been unable to really see consistent minutes this season. Unless he is able to crack coach Jacque Vaughn's rotation, Lamb's value may be limited to deeper long-term keeper formats for the rest of the year.
News: Orlando guard Doron Lamb could not buy a bucket in his debut Saturday night against the Cavaliers. Lamb missed all three of his shot attempts and grabbed just one rebound while logging 10 minutes of game action off the bench in a 118-94 defeat.
Analysis: Lamb did not appear to be in sync with his new team Saturday night. We expect him to get on the same page with his teammates as the season progresses. The 21-year-old has some upside as a sharpshooter after his impressive career at the University of Kentucky, but he rarely played with the Bucks. He is averaging 3.4 points on 34.7 percent shooting from the field this season. At this point, Lamb has just minimal Fantasy value and should not be used in the majority of formats unless his role changes with the Magic.

Analysis: It seems as if Lamb will be available to make his debut at home against the Cavs. The 21-year-old has some upside as a sharpshooter after his impressive career at the University of Kentucky, but he rarely played with the Bucks. Lamb should continue to have minimal Fantasy value even after this move. He is not worth using in the majority of leagues unless his role is increased dramatically with the Magic.

Analysis: Lamb looks like one of the few second-rounders that might be able to make an impact next season, as most do not even get a chance to earn a contract. Lamb has already done that, and will fight for a rotation spot. He brings at least one elite skill to the table, as his 47.5 percent mark from three-point range is the best in NCAA history for a career. He has a chance to make a difference in Fantasy leagues with his shooting, but he would be an incredibly risky selection in most yearly Fantasy formats on Draft Day.
