David Lee is the Blake Griffin of Europe. The problem being is that he is the same guy when we come home and everybody else can jump. I am not sure I agree on the barely trying part, I think he was sick but that is David Lee. I like Lee and think he can help but all of those bunnies and flip shots he misses start to add up. I didn't remember him being this good in the open floor with the ball in his hands and I am unsure if that translates back to the NBA for him, or KO for that matter, or if NBA defenders negate that ball handling. It is certainly awesome to see him look good and it not be the "who the hell is this guy wearing the Gerald Wallace jersey?"

Overall you have to love this team's ability to pass the ball and unselfish play. I hope that and the tempo become what this team is known for.

David Lee averagd 20/10 in 2013/14 against Duncan and AD. The guy is a professional scorer. Sure, his plus/minus in those games could have been -20 like in 2008-10 when he would put up 15-20 on KG shooting 60% from the field.

Our team last year had to rely on Evan Turner to create offense - that was a big problem. Now we have added a big time scorer to the front court. Say what you will about everything else - the guy knows how to put the rock in the hole. When your starting 5 includes 4 below average NBA offensive players in Smart, Bradley, Zeller and Crowder (or Turner) - you absolutely crave what Lee can do well and are more than happy to live with all the things he can't do.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Really liked the kids tenacity.....But i went with Avery Bradley who just flat out had a real good game....

David Lee also impressed me once again....And IT did pretty much as he chose with the Spaniards...

But I will agree that Rozier really showed some ability to drive to the basket and unselfishly dish off to others when the play dictated..

We are well set at point guard for years to come...

I think David Lee's passing ability alone will help all of the above mentioned players to be much better....totally agree!
