I think he is to talented a player to just sit on the bench like he has been doing. Let this guy develop. He has allstar potential. Do you think he will ever crack the rotation?
there is absolutely no reason twill should not be getting courtney lees minutes. lee looks and acts like hes in his rookie year. hes not playing loose.
Apparently, never, because Adelman is not going to give him much playing time. When the Rockets had a 19 pt. lead I thought he would make an appearance. Nope.
It's a shame that he's not playing 25+ minutes a night. I think the Rockets are missing an opportunity to inflate his trade value should they need him in their pursuit of a major trade.
Tough to find consistency when his minutes are all over the board. Lee started in both Orlando and New Jersey, and was playing over 33 minutes/game last season. He's played over 30 minutes once in the last 2 months, and racked up 19 points (3-5 3PT), 4 rebounds, and 3 dimes. He didn't commit a single turnover, and played superb on-ball defense. The second most minutes he's played in the last 2 months -- 27. He had 16 points (4-6 3PT). If he's not dealt, Lee will greatly benefit from a trade involving Battier or Budinger. He's an effective 2-way player, and will produce with increased minutes.
Not soon enough...I know people have gotten use to watching one-dimensional role players with the Rockets, but this guy is a multi-dimensional talent. Once he gets comfortable with the team and starts getting regular mins on a consistent basis, there's a good chance that he'll eventually take over as a starter, most likely at the 3.
