University of Connecticut sophomore guard Jeremy Lamb has declared for the NBA draft. The 19-year-old from Norcross, Ga. led the Huskies in scoring last season at 17.7 points per game, and was a key part of the team that won the NCAA championship in 2011. Lamb said in a statement released Tuesday by UConn that it was a difficult decision to go professional but it is in the best interest of his family. UConn coach Jim Calhoun said he looks forward to seeing Lamb develop into a ''terrific player'' in the NBA. The 6-foot-5 Lamb became just the sixth sophomore in UConn history to score 1,000 career points.
