Joec > Killingsworth, huh? Surprising. I know he's a crafty lefty scorer, but his lack of size & tendency to gain weight is of concern.
I know it's a surprise, but my thinking is no matter what weaknesses a player has at a position there are ALWAYS advantages also. I like to be extremely creative with floor lineups too. For example, Lee doesn't have the offensive prowess that most small forwards-a position I feel is starting to switch away from the pure 6-8 or 6-9 230 pound athletes to 6-6, 220 pound second SG's on the floor- have and he may be a little slow at the position, but I feel that he is only minimally slower and he would be able to post up at the SF position almost at will because he would be stronger at the position. He was also recruited to Florida as a 6-3 PG and sprouted 5 inches in college so his passing out of the post and court vision , I feel, would make up for his weaknesses there.
I see him as the bull we don't have.....granted he is a little laterally oversized, I think he can be an Anthony Mason style PF/SF combo. He would be an absolute monster for SF's to guard and would creat sick mismatches if he was on the floor with say a Curry and Frye or Curry and Lee or even Butler......as a matter of fact I think the only lineup where he wouldn't create a mismatch is if he was on the floor with Frye and Lee.
