I was at the game last night and the guy who impressed me the most was David Lee. I was surprised that LB played a rookie at all. But Lee came in late in the middle of the second quarter. He immediately made an impact with some nice Dunks, passes, steals and rebounds at the power forward spot as the Knicks went ahead.

The Knicks were much better when he was on the court. In the second half LB played David Lee in the small forward spot and he became a passer more which took away his inside game.

My impression of David Lee, is first of all the dude can really get up. He is very physical inside and goes after every rebound. Once he gets the ball down low it converts. Lee can also pass, I mean really pass it the ball...on a breakaway he spotted a teammate down court for an easy layup. Not many power forwards can make that play. He can also get up and down the court like a guard, has lots of up and down speed. His defense is also very good, especially helping out.

He has a great all around and once the Knicks realize what they have and start given a bigger role, I think he can be a Bobby Jones type player with better all around game.

Oh yea, the team looked better with the second unit of Nate and David Lee, Q Rich sucked, M Taylor can't off his feet, M. Rose can't shoot. JacKie Butler looked good, he looks like might end of as second center backup. T. Ariza was very explosive and active...Curry looked good too.

Back to David Lee, I am concerned his talent will be wasted playing for LB who has a history of
not developing and playing young players. LB game is to coach a team of veterans get's much out of them as possible before they age and than move on to the next team and do the same. He likes to let other coaches break in rookies.
