Re: Malcolm Lee
Shved is playing much better than Lee, what are you talking about?

I said it last season and I still think we would be better off as a team to cut him and sign either a D league'r or another vet like Howard.
You do know that Corey Brewer is a good bench player in this league, do you?

really? like the 10 turnovers in the past 3 games? Shved only edges him in FT% and points. Shved looks scared out there and unless he gains muscle taps into that inner swagger and bring up his shooting % and lowers his turnovers I see him as a bench player.for whatever reason because of Shveds hype I've forgiven his mistakes (jump passing) and saw his across the court pass to Luke as great. But if it was done by say DWill it would have been a bad pass that luckily didn't get picked off in the air and Luke had to catch the ball at his ankles.

Re: Malcolm Lee
Shved has a significantly higher PER and TS. He's been both more productive and more efficient.

Disagree 100 %. However I will say he has improved a little since he left the Wolves. Now I would say he might be worth a 2nd round pick. Before he wasn't worth the piece of paper his contract was signed on. Also Dwill who everyone wants to trade......... WAY better than Brewer and both are bench players.

Corey Brewer is the best player not on the Wolves.....
Whenever we play Denver, he always screws up in our favor.

Lee has been fine this year .He has played random minutes off the bench and as a starter and the Wolves have outplayed their opponents whilst he has been on the floor .What more can you possibly want from a guy getting paid basically minimum salary.

The thing with Brewer is. We asked him to be the 2nd best player on the team. No wonder he sucked.
When his role is limited to being a defender he's actually a capable backup. Now if you rely on him on offense like we did you're in trouble.

Bingo.
And that's basically all we are asking Malcolm to do. He's fine for that role.

And that's what I have a problem with, why limit Lee's ceiling but give Shved a all star ceiling? We aren't a top 4 team so we don't have the luxury of putting our hopes on potential right now. Shved can pass the ball better so he should come off the bench so he can create easier shots for the others or chuck it if he wants to. If Lee had Shveds awkward looking fading three, every time he'd miss people would want him to sit.
Shved > Manu
Lee > Wade

Re: Malcolm Lee
Lee is our hustle plays/away from the ball playmaker, Shved is our guy when we need to create some offense. Just a guess, but assuming the performance of one or the other doesn't change drastically, I'd guess Lee will continue to start - especially as Rubio comes back. You start the game w/ Rubio getting Love and Pek involved w/ Lee and AK wearing down the other wings with defense, hustle plays, and holding them to one possession. Then Shved comes in with Rubio on the bench to always have a perimeter breakdown guy on the court, and in 4th quarter closing time, you have them both in there to have our best clutch 5 getting buckets against tight half court D

If you've read the TrueHoop blog on ESPN for a little while, you may have read one of the guys (Adande? Not sure) talking about royal jelly. It's the thing in bee hives that worker bees feed the larva that's going to become a queen. Turns out this has an analog in basketball. Some players (the ones that have a special knack that others don't) receive special attention in practice, feature rolls in the game plan, and the in-game coaching decisions are structured around them. This allows that natural spark to get brighter, and sometimes the conditions are right and a star is born.
I love Malcolm Lee's game, and I'm so stoked he's hitting his jumpers. When he first started practicing with the team, a lot of talk coming out of practices was that he could shoot better than expected, so I thought it might be a matter of time. But Shved has that swagger that can come out, and that's a special thing. He really could become a legit closer in this league.

It takes a special player for Adelman to trust him to close games as a rookie.

Re: Malcolm Lee
The thing about Lee offensively is that he is depending on what others set him up, unlike Shved.

I agree, Lee has shown that he can be VERY aggressive finisher, better than DWill. If he keeps improving he'd be just as good as Shved at it. But since Shved can create himself like you say he doesnt need Rubio to make things easier for him, so why have them both on the floor?I remember that the problem with having Tyreke here was him being too ball dominant so the ball will be out of Rubio's hands too much. If Shved was performing like Kobe at end of game situations I'd be fine with him out there. But with Shveds lack of defense I'd take Lee with Rubio (The Creater) in at the end of games.
