Boris Diaw
I'm actually sold on this notion now. Better to have Diaw on your team than Lee.
i think this thread deserves a bump now that the warriors are 11-2 and Lee is about to return.
FKLA with the ballsiest take in ST history.
Its was comically wrong then, and still is.
Boris is the more versatile passer and defender. With stretch 4s now being a fixture on any good team, I think a player like Diaw, who can conceivably guard 3 through 5, is more valuable to a team than Lee.
Where's Harlem with the stats. I'd like to see a comparison of how each player guards perimeter oriented bigs (Dirk, LMA, last year's Bosh, etc).
It's like everything fell into place for FKLA this past season.
My boy Venti sucked DoK's dry tbh.
Lol you're such a re
I have to go with Boris since Lee is always injured.
Even as a Spurs fan, I will have to go with David Lee as a better player.
Some players are great on bad teams, and some are good on great teams.
Lee, as bad as he is defensively, and as much as a stat padder as he is, can be the centerpiece of a very bad team. You can run your offense through him, or have him as a legit 2nd option, and have him lead the team to 25-35 wins. Boris can't do that.
Boris, however, can fit into a great system, and use his smarts, passing, and unusual skills to complement a great team and make it better. Lee can't do that.
As an individual player, Lee is the better player though.
David Lee can be a centerpiece on a bad team in the same way whoever is the best player on the 6ers is a centerpiece.
I think Boris would abuse Lee in one-on-one too. So I'm not buying that individually hes better BS either.
i usually don't consider homer takes to be ballsy, but i grant an exception for this one. FkLA stuck with this one and defended it to death
ball don't lie
Forgot about David Lee tbh
Many considered Diaw to be the best player of a very decent Bobcats team, tbh. This past summer Diaw was the best player of a French team that would probably be a 25-35 wins team on the NBA.

International game is a different game. Just like MVPau became GOATPau and Ginobili became Jordan, West, Magic all rolled into one.
That Bobcats team won 7 games out of 66 the year Diaw was traded. The two years before, Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson were both better.
The comparison will be tested this season, tbh..
David Lee is going to return as the 6th man for the Warriors, it'll be interesting to see how he looks in the Diaw role..it will be the first time in his career that he's asked to play a role on a winning team, rather than put up numbers on ty teams..if they trade him first, then that's a terrible sign, obviously..
Lee is a china doll. Sure if he was not broken most of the time he probably would be better than Diaw. But reality is that since Lee is a soft porcelain doll, Diaw is the better option in a championship contender
boris diaw is a better basketball player than david lee. period.
And even if you ignore durability. Diaw is the better passer, higher ball IQ, better ball handler, better man defender, better shooter, and better post player.
lee is just more athletic better rebounder and better shot blocker.
Even then Diaw is probably better
I think Diaw is the better, more skilled, player. He has been on good teams for the bigger part of his career, unlike Lee. Diaw just couldn't be bothered to stat pad when on a bad team. Perhaps you could point to this motivation issue as a huge problem but put it this way, if the Spurs had traded Diaw for Lee a couple of years ago, they most likely don't have 5 right now.
