D. Green apprectiation thread

[CohanHater]

The warriors have given up 93 points a game since the all star break with David lee out and draymond starting mostly. Haven't given up 100 points. Coincidence ?

I'd credit it with a healthy competent bench, more than Lee not being around.

Lee was only out the last two games against the Nets and the Pistons. I think it's more of the team in general stepping up their defensive intensity.

Yeah was just thinking that

Bump, does D.Lee start when he comes back from injury?

- Can the Dubs win bringing to former allstars off the bench?

Seems like one of those good problems to have.

I proposed this on the game thread. The first unit with Green works nicely, and adding Lee to the second unit would give them a low-post, go to guy.

Ezili, Lee, Livingston, Iggy, and Barbosa. Me likey.

If Iggy can check his ego in at the door for the sake of the team, then certainly Lee can.

Million dollar question right there. I would say it's a toss up.

I thought HB was gonna start the year on the bench but was wrong about that. I think Lee gets to start, but I think he'll get the early pull for Draymond, and an early sub back in with the late second unit. Down the stretch at the end of the 1st half and end of the game, I could see Draymond being subbed back in for the last 4-5 minutes.

If I was Kerr, I would start Lee and sub him out at the 7 minute mark for Draymond, Sub Lee back in at the start of the 2nd and sub him out again at the 5 minute mark.

I think Ai#9 and D.Lee probably are at the point in their careers where they want to win. They both got paid heavily, so as long as we keep winning, I don't see this as a problem.

My only concern is Green gives up some size and bulk to the larger 4's in the league. LA basically shot over Green at will last night in the 4th. When Aldridge tried to back him down, Green was able to use his basketball smarts to body him a bit, but he can't teach height.

All in all, I wouldn't have a problem with Green starting, (as long as we keep winning)

I'm more focused on the continuity, both offensively and defensively.

Lee has played well with the starters as has Green. The only reason I would start Lee is to get the first unit off to a rolling start with two optimal passing bigs. I think down the stretch, you'll see much more of Green to close out games. There will be some games (like Memphis, LAC, Chicago, Indy, Utah) where Lee will be needed to guard size at the end of games. I like Lee rolling a bit too with the second unit as a passing big as well and letting him facilitate the high post. His ability to score will also be much needed too. With AI, Livingston and Ezeli all being plus defenders, they can have him out there for long stretches without worry much.

I think it's just about optimizing the opportunities on both sides of the ball.

Green enjoys starting

Boys, What is HB's potential, future and is he digressing and just having some jittery play? I wonder if the NBA is moving too fast and he simply doesn't understand anything on an instinctive level. I don;t think he is going to be offered a future contract - whenver that comes due. I had HB pegged as the next Trevor Ariza.

I had thought HB would be similar to a prime Richard Jefferson, but he's not anywhere close to living up to that.

My only current player comp I have would be to Marvin Williams. He's a solid player, developed a bit more of an outside shot, but tends to float and disappear.

Bump, is D.Green an Allstar this year? Doesn't have the "best numbers", but you could argue, that he belongs in the conversation.

He didn't play particularly well today but those two back to back blocks of Nowitski's shots were key during their struggles at the end of the game.
