  "account": "In 2015, the Charlotte Hornets acquired Jeremy Lamb from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Luke Ridnour and a second-round draft pick. Lamb, who played college basketball at UConn, quickly became a key player in the Hornets' rotation over the following four seasons. His most impressive season arrived during the 2018-19 campaign, when he put up impressive averages of 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while also contributing to the defense with 1.1 steals and 0.4 blocks in 28.5 minutes on the court. Notably, Lamb scored one of the most memorable game-winning shots in NBA history during that season. Following the 2019-20 season, Lamb signed a three-year contract with the Indiana Pacers but was eventually traded to the Sacramento Kings. Rookie Wire is documenting the history of jersey numbers worn by Hornets players, starting with Jeremy Lamb's iconic No. 3 jersey from 2015 to 2019.",
