first, Ariza is not a guard, his ball handling skill is worse than Head
second, you sounded like Lee and Taylor can't guard anyone in this league
Lee got in Magic starting lineup because of his defense
third, Ariza defense is overrated because he has a ring

On a positive note, notice how much higher his SHOULDERS are than Alston's. That's more important than where his head ends. From experience, blocking shots with your face sucks. Soccer style, baby!


i don't care where his head or shoulder are, just need to see where his hands can go, you know Battier is going to teach him how to defend the face
you don't go for block when the guy is shooting
experienced players will create contact and put themselves on the line

Head is 6'2" barefoot
Lee is probably around 6'3"-6'3.5" barefoot, with 2-3 pairs of those nba brand socks, he's 6'5" in shoes
btw that's about the same size as OJ Mayo

you guys got a good young player. A little undersized but he's a very smart defender and isnt afraid to attack the basket.

^I like how that's "dunks on" LeBron, when LeBron was not set and waiting. More like "Lee Dunks with LeBron James trying to (successfully) Chase him down and attempt to block what would have been a Wide-open Fastbreak Dunk"

Doesn't roll off the tongue as well, I suppose.

Lee is legit 6'5"
Alston lie about his height
he's 6'4"
he wanted to list shorter so he don't have to play PG

Meh. It's redundant to argue over an inch.

I can co-sign this, you guys got a very good, smart defender in Lee.

I know more than a few fans who would trade Carter back for him, straight up.

I doubt Lee is more than 6'4. He usually got burned by bigger guards while he played for the Magic, don't know how he did with the Nets. I think he's an awesome defender when the guy he's guarding is below 6'5, though.

while I don't really see finals, I got chills when I heard them say it. they are confident, and hopefully they bring some chemistry. really, really like lee. since the draft. really wanted him then.

ariza lost us games, imo.


I watch many his games last season. This guy shoots good 3 point. And can break through.
