Larry Brown would be killed for that.
Lee woulda been lucky to get those 13 from Brown.
Actually Lee averaged 17 minutes last year.
How come nobody is complaining about the minutes that Nate is playing this year? He's only averaging 1 more minute than last year when everybody was bitching about his playing time under Larry. And Frye is actually averaging slightly less than last year and he's being jerked around just as much if not more than last year.
Lee is the only one whose minutes have drastically increased this year. But last year his PT was hardly unfair at 17 min per game.
All in all, Larry gave these rookies ample playing time and helped develop them. All this crybaby crap about how he jerked them around is nothing but nonsense. It was no different than what most rookies experience.
