The difference is Randolph is better at everything except dunking, and yes that includes defense.

to be more accurate, Zach Randolph is less bad than Lee at defense.

But no reason to dis Lee, he has achieved quite a bit on a personal level.

oohah

Why cant our lottery picks and Wilson average 20-11 and shoot 55%? Instead we get guys that cant rebound and shoot in the low 40's When Lee get a defensive center he will be even a better player

hill/td dont play much... dg/wc are putting up pts that for where this team is at, are ok. they all need to get better or hope they can get better. i dont want the team to keep playing the 'cover up for player X' stuff though. we see how well that goes with jj and a few others. makes certain parts of the court 5 on 4 or worse.

It would help if the coach and starting point guard sets both Gallinari and Chandler up like Lee. Those guys are basically eating scraps on the floor.

It would help if both of those guys would assert themselves too. I think it's obvious that Chandler is very inconsistent when it comes to that, and Gallinari rarely does that. Actually, I'm pretty sure that MDA has said similar things. Ever play with guys that look like they don't give a crap if they get the ball or not? You might as well just cut their hands off, because they are useless when they are in that mindset.

Not saying Duhon has actually been playing good btw. He's been playing like crap too. But lets blame that all on Mike D'Antoni. I guess it shows just how good Lee has been actually.

Other than getting into an altercation with Duhon on the court or just stealing the ball from him. I don't see how much more they can do to assert themselves to get the ball. Lee has a personal point man. Offense running through Ewing makes sense, offense running through Lee not so much.

I agree with you that Lee isn't a go to guy, but I'd rather it run through him than anyone else on the team. Like I said, Chandler does not assert himself (Which we will just have to agree to disagree on) and Lee knows what he's doing. Everyone else has had their opportunities. Actually, if anything, I would rather see the offense run through Nate then Chandler and Gallo. And I definitely agree that the situation with him and Duhon starting and not starting is stupid. MDA deserves criticism for this.

Haha, indeed.

Agree on Josh Smith though. He should definitely be in the all-star game and is the 2nd most important player on that Hawks team.

It's tough, because Horford over Lee is a fair choice. At the same time, Smith deserves to be in more than Horford does. With that said, I don't think anyone wants the Hawks to have 3 guys on the all-star team.

Someone is going to be unhappy in the end either way.
