Give me big PEK
Lee averaged 20 ppg last year but I don't see him averaging more than Steph now that Monta is gone. Klay was putting up big numbers at the end of the season so I don't see Lee taking more shots than him. I could be wrong but I don't see Lee scoring more than either guy especially not Curry. Curry has the leash taken off of him and will do Monta numbers but more efficiently.

Blackthoughts ridin HARD for Bogut
Monta was the real pg of the team when he was here. He rarely let Steph bring the ball up the floor. I don't think Steph can exposed if he's surrounded by scorers. You can't leave Klay or Barnes open to double Curry. It's not like Steph will be playing for Toronto next season and teams can base a game plan around him. He has too many weapons to get exposed.Monte Ellis wasnt a good influence on Curry when u was playing for the Warriors if u ask me.
I think Curry will play more of a pure PG role and make Lee be the leading scorer and Bogut handle defense.
but who knows. Curry might explosed next season scoring wise. dude has all the tools to be a 24ppg scorere for many years of he stays healthy.
Google Andris Biedrins stats for the last 2 seasons and then look at how much money he's making. If you was a GSW fan you'd be riding hard too given our history of centers.

it's going to be different this time huh? "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
and when the 3's aren't falling? who's attacking the rim and getting to the line?
Barnes got to the line at a very good rate last season
David Lee averaged 20 and made half his shots.
Bogut with a healthy elbow has a good low post game
And both of our starting guards shoot over 40% from the 3 so I don't anticipate many nights where the 3 ain't falling. You talking like Steph and Klay only shoot 3's. Steph breaks nikkas down off the dribble for the duce aswell. You seen what he did to a pretty good Denver defense. He lights Russy ass up everytime they play so it can't be just 3's.
*throws those college stats in the bushes*
*throws this stat padding bum in the bushes*
*throws this Aussie gimp in the bushes*
the Nuggets were 19th in points allowed per 100 possessions last season and particularly inept at defending the 3 point line -- which led to dudes like Curry having career nights against them.
every good/great NBA shooters go through slumps, you might get away with have the 3 point shot as your primary offense in the East, but not in the Big Boy Conference my dude. you need a couple dudes that can consistency create easy opportunities and get to the line.
Both are average C's
I'd take bogut over sideshow bob
Spencer Hawes is average. Kendrick Perkins is average. Bogut and Noah are all-nba status when healthy.
This is more indicative of how weak the c position currently is more than anything
