Lamb is likely to begin the season in a bench role, The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

With Andre Roberson the apparent favorite to start at shooting guard entering camp, Lamb appears destined to hold down a similar role to the one he played last season. After spending much of his rookie season in the D-League, Lamb appeared in 78 games for the Thunder, averaging 8.5 points in 19.7 minutes. He's certainly more explosive offensively than the inexperienced Roberson, but Lamb struggles defensively and the Thunder historically prefer to start a strong defender at shooting guard.
