Lee was 6-4 coming out of high school and projected as a guard.

Eventually played center at florida.

There is a SF in that body. Its tough enough to gain confidence as an NBA player yet play a new position at this level. The kid gets an A considering this.

Frye can shoot, and he learned to face the basket and drive to the basket. We saw huge progress this year in many of his moves.

Both of them need to bulk up for the long season. THey had great rookie seasons!

If we can get a consistant effort from Eddy we migh have somthing here. When Starbury was peaking in January he fed Eddy in the lane and he was unstoppable. Might Eddy benefit from a set line up? One without a volitile point diva? Players that know the role?

Be nice to find out.

Lee can't play the 3 in this league...He just isn't fast enough to keep up with other 3's..that is if you care about defense...right now he is a tweener but needs to grow into a 4...U can't teach speed...

...Frye is a guy, who I my estimation can give you 20 and 8next season...

20&8? Channing Frybury? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The guy is 12 and 6 now in 24 mins of play...

12 & 5 vs 2nd teamers. doesn't mean he will nearly double his scoring and rebounding just because he gets more minutes.

Posted by McK1:

thats apporoximately how more minutes over an 82 season

and if you play him 35 minutes he is now matched up moreso with say Jermaine O' Neal instead of Jeff Foster.

big difference in energy spent. he hit the wall hard in January just playing 26 minutes a night of the bench.

20ppg would be a pleasant suprise 14-15 ppg and 7 boards is within reason.

yeah but he is not a threat to score.

and don't be suprised if you DON'T see those numbers. even if he starts out hot, maintaining a 20 ppg pace will be hard

As long as the kid is used the right way he will be fine...Last year no plays were ran for him...Those numbers were spectacular when you take that into consideration...I think this offseason conditioning for him is key...I have alot of confidence in this guy as you can tell..I think he will anchor this franchise the next 10 years...Well at least I'm hoping....

he was the pop guy on the pick and pop play with regularity. thats plays being ran for him. people say this as if he was Jerome Williams out there getting points from his scrappy play and hustle. Off the pick and pop he is option 1 for steph.

and when he did get the ball in the post early on, we found out in Phx he has a lot of work to do on his back to the basket game. Therefore it was back to what he was good at and gradually work in other stuff. Once teams started taking what he was good at away, he lost his way for awhile.

Doesn't mean he is a bad player or he'll be down forever. Just means IMO that expectations should be tapered.

Posted by McK1:

a) i never called him the no. 1 option on offense, I called him the no. 1 option on a certain play

b) speaking of said play, when he sets a screen for Steph and then fades and Steph kicks it out to him, what play do you refer to that as? and once you get the name of the play right, who is the no. 1 option the screen guy who the play is designed to get open or Q in the corner not even apart of the play?

c) he was never in the running for rookie of the year. Overall Chris Paul had that thing wrapped up from game 2 of the season. In the East Andrew Bogut flew out the gate putting up not only points but rebounds and assists as well.

I think he is Rasheed Lite in terms of skills but not attitude. Channing will never see his true potential till Statbury is gone. Statbury needs players like KVH and Nazr, players who are more spot up and catch and dunk players.

What is Frye may I ask?
