(Editor’s note: We are starting our individual reviews of all players from the Houston Rockets who finished the 2021-22 season with the team. To access other reviews as part of this ongoing series, click here.)
Rockets Player: Anthony Lamb, 6-foot-6 forward, 24 years old
2021-22 G League statistics: 16.0 points (45.9% FG, 39.2% on 3-pointers), 7.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists in 33.8 minutes
Professional Experience: 2 seasons
Contract Status: Restricted free agent in 2022 offseason
Lamb hasn’t played with the Rockets since the 2020-21 season, when he averaged 5.5 points and 2.9 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game. He played for most of the 2021-22 season with Houston’s NBA G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Vipers, and started at forward for the team that ultimately won the 2022 G League Finals.
The Rockets signed Lamb to a two-way contract late in the 2021-22 regular season, which makes him a restricted free agent this offseason and gives Houston the right to match any outside offer and retain him.
