It may be the homer in me, but I would classify Lee as above average. He is a real two-way player. His defense is very good and he can score efficiently. I'm confused by what you said regarding Morris, since Morris is a 3 while Martin and Lee are both 2 guards. I don't see how Lee and Martin are taking minutes away from Morris unless someone is playing out of position.
Go back to my original post about converting Parsons into a 2 guard. Bill Worrell made a comment about Parsons being a 2 guard in the future, I think he can do it since he can guard 2s, 3s, and 4s. This will allow Marcus Morris to play more at the 3 in the future, along with Dontas at the 4 next year. I think this is the route the Rockets need to look at. When the Rockets won Championships in the 90s, they were a tall team. I think when we had Tracy and Yao we missed the boat because we kept getting short players, because they may of have been a bit more skilled (Aaron Brooks, Luther Head, and Chuck Hayes just to name a few) than a player who was taller but as we can clearly see now size matter when you are trying to win a Championship. I have been waiting 17 yrs to ride down to Richmond Ave again!! Since we can not get an All-Star, lets start bringing in players who create mismatches(tall for their position, who are productive on both sides of the ball).
Oh, by the way, I don't think C. Lee is a bad player. I just don't see him as a long time starter. I would love to bring him back and trade Martin but I don't think there is going to be a market for Martin this summer and I think C. Lee is going to command $5M - $6M per yr, plus they are going to try and resign Dragic at that same price. Lowry at $6M, Martin at $10M and with Lee and Dragic at $5M - $6M that's too much money in your back court.
ok fine, but then i'm going to say parsons is like manute bol, but white, shorter, more athletic, a better scorer, and not really a shot blocker.
