    I think Lee needs more time.

    Chase isn't as Consistent as Lee, so I would Start Lee at SF (Sinse his defense is better than Kmarts) and keep Kmart at SG. Chase can get Major minutes as a backup SG AND SF, and Twill should get some minutes also.

    I think Rick is going to go with a starting guard line up of Lowry, Lee and Martin.


    I think there will be a lot of Cross guarding between Lee and Martin and Lowry.


    Lowry and Lee both have the ability to guard the 1 and the 2. Martin can't really guard any elite scorer on a consistent basis. So you just put him on who ever is the easier cover between the 2 and the 3 spot.

    If it really hits the fan you the put in Williams who is now our strongest one on one perimeter defender at the 3.

    Well if CBUD struggles being a starter, TWILL can maybe take that roll. #wordaapp

    I think our D got worse with Bud starting...I would rather take the chance with CLee at the 3.

    I hope that at least TWill gets some minutes now at any spot 1-3.

    We will find out how sucky Shane Battier was starting or how much we miss him very soon. Of course we will also be missing depth and Aaron Brooks in the process. So if Budinger and the Rockets start to win? That means maybe Budinger should have started all along? Maybe Battier is overrated? Maybe we just miss Aaron Brooks and Battier?

    Hopefully Rick doesnt waist his time by not using Goran Dragic or Thabeet over practice, because then that would skew the results with our lack of depth making us lose some games in between.
