up and played Lee over 30 minutes he responds pretty well. He is averaging 16.4 points a game and 11 rebounds a game while shooting around 60% from the field. What else does he need to do to get consistent minutes? Great role players are usually older players in the league or really good shooters. David is in his third year and proved last year if you give him minutes he will produce. Offensively he is a much better player than he was last year and his defense still sucks. He is much more efficient than both Randolph and Curry and someone tell me why you wouldnt find him 30 minutes a game? If we were a winning team with zach and curry playing all the time I would understand but we suck. Bitty here is your morning chance to blow me up.
King ohmygod! I actually agree with you, Isiah neeeds to stop forcing the issue with Curry and put his big ass where it belongs on the bench. Give Lee the minutes granted its not conventional with him and Zach on the floor together but its better then watch Curry committ a dozen offensive fouls.
On another note this is just not a very basketball savy comment:
Lee would be putting up nearly identical nubmers, without the turnovers that zach is doing right now
Even if you think Zach is a ball hog in this league at Lee' size you need a plethora of low post moves and a serviceable J. And Lee is lacking both of these attributes. Spin anyway you want it MS but Lee isn't putting up no 19 and 10 on a regular basis on put backs and fast breaks unless he's playing with Jason Kidd or Steve Nash. And thats assuming that Lee is the 3rd or 4th option which he wouldn't be on their current teams.
