David Lee is a STARTER

It does not matter that Eddy Curry & Zack Randolph is on the Knicks. David Lee performance earned him 82 Starting Games for the 2007-8 season on this Knick Team.

With David Lee in the Starting Lineup this Knick Team will be a .500% NBA Team.

We must remember that David Lee plays well on all three of the Bigmen position plus has become a complimentary teammate to the entire Knick Roster on both sides of the court.

i would only consider that move if Q gets hurt

Lee is right where we need him, on the bench. But I agree that Lee could play the small forward spot. Beside Curry and Randolph Lee gives us an over sized line up.

Isiah loves lee coming of the bench for him, every team needs a leader coming of the bench, and thats Lee. If he starts, then our bench is very thin.

All responses has good claim, because I look at this Knick club as still starting out trying to find itself first. That is why I have to look at the Knicks strengths on the roster.
David Lee is at his BEST Performance when he Starts with the same players consistently night after night. And it seems like his (same) 4-Teammates performance increase too.
Having David Lee come off the BENCH to play alongside of different Players each game has been a BIG-FAILURE for this Knick Team. David Lee is the best complimentary-Player with Curry, Marbury, and Crawford on the court at the same time. START THE SEASON OFF RIGHT FOR A Change.
David Lee happens to be the BEST-CHEMISTRY player on this Knick Team, so on the down low build your team around the best chemistry players you have on the roster, before doing anything.

If David Robinson and Tim Duncan could play together, then so can Curry and Randolph. Nuff said.

Why not start Lee at SF?
Who do you think Will be the Knicks Starting SF?

Marbury/Artest/Lee/Randolph/Curry


Damn?

that sounds great for offense, but what about defense?

neither lee, randolph, or curry, are quick enough to stick with the small forwards in this league. Could you imagine lee trying to stay with tayshaun prince? rashard lewis? luol deng?

It's a nice thought, and it would be great to get our most talented players all in the starting line-up but it's just not realistic.

Lee will be coming off the bench for both Curry and Randolph. When he comes in for Curry, Randolph will switch to center.

He will play small forward in spots when the matchup works just to get him some extra playing time.

lee at small forward is a recipe for defensive disaster... lee, balkman and collins coming off the bench along with jones/dickau is a dangerous rotation for any team to handle...
