On the flip side, he can't be kept off the glass at that position either. Theoretically it seems flawed, and it could just be a coincidence, but we have had some of our best strings of games with Lee starting at SF. I hope Isiah sticks with it.
Hey, 6-7 doesn't sound too impressive on its own... until you compare it to 17-52. Then it sounds damn impressive.
I was gonna say- a 6-7 stretch on a 23 win team IS impressive. You're talking about taking completely incompetent to semi-competent which is a big step. One thing is for sure- we saw Curry benefit from playing with Lee and now we're seeing Curry AND Frye benefit from playing with Lee. He takes a ton of rebounding pressure of off them and right now both of their offensive games are flourishing. Being bigger than other teams up front has its advantages too- I don't know why we always focus on ho poorly we might match up defensively when we can physically hammer the opposition on our offensive end and reduce their effectiveness that way.
