Re: Malcolm Lee
His finishing near the rim is really strange. Sometimes he looks great, and makes very athletic (maybe even acrobatic) moves and finishes, sometimes it looks painful. Hopefully experience pushes it to more of the former.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Courtney Lee seems like a good comparison for the player he could become.

I don't think he HAS to be our 2-guard though, especially if Shved is viewed as highly as I think he is. I like the Lee/Shved rotation.

Re: Malcolm Lee
He just doesn't pass the eye test for me. Ya he's young and ya it's his 1st year playing basically since he was hurt all last year. But he reminds me to much of Corey Brewer in that basketball looks like a foreign concept to him. He reminds me of a Jr high kid following the coaches every word down to the letter but not understanding how to incorporate that instruction into playing fluid basketball.
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.

Re: Malcolm Lee
I think he still has room to grow. Considering how little experience he has, he's surprised me a bit with smart play (for being basically a rookie) and enough confidenece on both ends to be a plus player on most nights. He should be a valuable versatile backup and I think will play in the league quite a few years.

Re: Malcolm Lee
Over the last two weeks it seems both Lee and Derrick are starting to feel more comfortable in their roles.

Re: Malcolm Lee
if he is able to improve his defense and he hits consistently from 3ps , why not ? he could be a good/cheap beach player for us. we will see.

Re: Malcolm Lee
Malcolm needs to keep playing hard and keep taking open shots and he will be fine. I think Adelman likes him somewhat and he is our only guard defensive specialist so we have a need for him. Work on that shot and there is no reason to think he can't be an Avery Bradley or maybe even a Trenton Hassell type down the road. But I wont cry if he gets cut or traded thats for sure. Looks a little lost with the ball sometimes, shocked he was ever an elite recruit at PG spot as he looks unnatural dribbling the ball even if unpressured. But I like concept of Lee very much and he seems to get it so hopefully he can keep at it and carve out a niche on this team.

Re: Malcolm Lee
Lee's a boss. Been one of his biggest supporters the day he was drafted. Hopefully he can keep playing consistently...if Lee/Shved can develop into what we think then our team could be very very dangerous.

Re: Malcolm Lee
I have to admit that I was very high on Wesley Johnson and Malcolm.And now that I'm over Wesley I like what Lee has done so thus far, and even though Shved is hyped and I'm one that thinks very high of him as of now he is not playing better than Lee.so why all the Love for a player in Shved who is playing worse than Lee?

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

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.

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.
