How much do you think you would average if you were playing in the NBA today? – from Will in Vermont Jamal Crawford: In a sixth-man role, I could average low 20s. In a starting role, I could average really high 20s.
He advised the gathering to dig into their studies. He said he attended Wakefield Schools with the METCO program and didn’t study much. That put him in a position where he couldn’t qualify for college. Instead, he went to a prep school in Vermont to raise his grades. “I didn’t think, being from Dorchester, I would make it or play at the highest level,” he said. “So, I didn’t take school seriously… I really wasn’t the best kid when it came to the books… School was really tough for me and I had to persevere and get the help I needed.”
Ware, a former swimmer at Vermont who had a previous relationship with Lamb, says in the suit that Lamb raped her in the fall of 2019. When Ware reported the incident to the university’s Title IX office, the suit says that school officials improperly contacted the athletic department after she made the allegation. The lawsuit claims the athletic department staffers reached out directly to Ware and misled her in an attempt to prevent a formal process from occurring, instead going to an “informal restitution” process that would allow Lamb, the star player on the men’s basketball team at the time, to “escape any meaningful consequences for his actions.”
Ware accused Lamb of raping her when they were students at Vermont at his off-campus residence during a men’s basketball team party in September 2019, the suit said. During the assault, Lamb repeatedly ignored Ware’s pleas to stop, according to the suit, which says Ware repeatedly told him “no” and claims Lamb replied, “just take it.” The assault, which happened after the two ended their six-month-long relationship the summer before, weighed heavily on Ware, who had suicidal thoughts and fell into a deep depression, the suit said.
It’s not often NBA players come through Vermont, but Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony is back for the second year in a row. The 2020 first-round pick hosted a basketball clinic with Rise to the Top VT, and helped local hoopers ranging from third grade all the way to college age at the RTT facility in Williston. “It’s been awesome to get out to a place like this,” Anthony said. “I just love kids. I really love working with them. They’re the future, and I want to do my part to help.”
