Rio Grande Valley Vipers forward Anthony Lamb has been named the 2020-21 NBA G League Most Improved Player, the NBA G League announced today. The award, which honors the player who demonstrates the most significant improvement during the season, was voted on by NBA G League head coaches and general managers whose teams participated in single-site play at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla.

In his first NBA G League season, Lamb (6-6, 227, Vermont) averaged 11.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 21.7 minutes in 12 regular-season games. He played his first six games with the Canton Charge and his final six games with the Vipers.

Lamb averaged 4.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 9.6 minutes in his six games with Canton, which selected him with the sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA G League Draft. Acquired by Rio Grande Valley in a trade with the Charge on Feb. 25, Lamb averaged 18.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.50 steals and 1.33 blocks in 33.8 minutes while shooting 56.0% from the field and 41.9% from three-point range in his six games with the Vipers.

On the same day of his trade to Rio Grande Valley, Lamb recorded 32 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three steals for the Vipers in their 124-113 win over the Erie BayHawks. The next day, Feb. 26, he finished with 26 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in Rio Grande Valley’s 120-102 victory over the Charge.

After beginning the season 3-6 without Lamb, the Vipers went on a six-game winning streak with him in their starting lineup to reach the NBA G League Playoffs as the seventh seed. On March 8, Lamb was signed to a two-way contract by the Houston Rockets, the parent club of Rio Grande Valley.

The NBA G League is the NBA's official minor league. Fans can get a glimpse at the players, coaches and officials competing to ascend to the NBA's rank. The NBA G League is the best place to see the future now.
