The Charlotte Hornets obviously believe in Jeremy Lamb. They signed him to a three-year contract extension before this week's deadline passed. A humongous vote of confidence for a talented youngster who's yet to have a real opportunity to shine. 

Will Lamb make the Hornets look like geniuses? Their best player, Al Jefferson, knows how good Lamb can be, and doesn't understand why he hasn't been a productive NBA player. Here's what he told the Charlotte Observer:

Lamb is off to a hot start, averaging 13.3 points on 58.6 percent shooting in three games. He's not starting, but that could change if P.J. Hairston continues to struggle.
